The study revealed the metabolic mechanism of nutrients such as vitamin C in cabbage

not ball cabbage commonly known as green vegetables, cabbage, cultivation area from 8 million mu in 2005 to about 21 million mu now, has become the third largest vegetable crop.
recently, Hou Xilin, a professor at Nanjing Agricultural University's School of Horticulture, published a research paper online in Horticultural Research. After more than ten years of in-depth research, the team revealed the metabolic mechanism of non-ball cabbage vitamin C and sulfur glucosin nutrients, which laid a solid foundation for the design and breeding of fine character molecules.
the study, using the latest sequencing methods, obtained a nearly complete, high-quality chromosomal-level genome of 396.83Mb and annotated its function, with a ContigN50 of 2.83Mb. This genome is of higher mass than other cabbage genomes available.
based on the new genome, the study found that duplicate sequences accounted for about 53 percent of the genome and annotated 48,158 protein-coded genes. Comparative genomic analysis confirmed that non-ball cabbage experienced a whole genome triplet (WGT) event shared with other crusader species, which occurred after the WGD event shared with aphid mustard, which provided an important basis for the study of differentiation between the subsethagons of the genus cloves. The genes associated with vitamin C and glucoside (GSLs) synthesis and metabolic pathways were identified and compared, the number of copies of genes caused by series replication was mutated, and the GSL gene was highly expanded in the cabbage genome. The joint transcription group analyzed the expression of related genes and revealed the metabolic regulation mechanism of non-balled cabbage vitamin C and sulfur glucosin nutrients.
