Article Abstract

Lilium, a perennial crop with great ornamental, medicinal and edible value, has been frequently used as functional food and medicine. Lilium lancifolium Thunb. (L. lancifolium) and Lilium brownii F.E.Brown var.viridulum Baker (L. brownii) are the most used medicinal species in China. However, the flavor compounds of these two species have not yet been clear. Here, metabolomics and transcriptome analysis were used to reveal the difference of the bitter substances of L. lancifolium and L. brownii. Qualitative results indicated that nine compounds are commonly existed in L. lancifolium and L. brownii, while nine compounds are unique in L. lancifolium and eight compounds are unique in L. brownii. Furthermore, quantitative results revealed that the content of regaloside A in L. lancifolium was nearly 2-7 folds higher than that of L. brownii, and the content of regaloside B in L. lancifolium was about 4-16 folds higher than that of L. brownii. Regaloside C and E were not detected in L. brownii. Transcriptome analysis showed that there were 90 unique genes up-regulated in L. lancifolium samples in the pathway of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and 75 unique genes up-regulated in L. brownii samples, which could be related to the different content and chemical structure specificity of phenylpropanoid glycerol glucosides in L. lancifolium and L. brownii. The results of our in-deep research provide new insights into the bitter substances of L. lancifolium and L. brownii, and a further consideration for the chemical consistency and quality evaluation for Lilii bulbus.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the medicinal properties of two lily species (LB and LL) compared to a food-only variety (LD) to identify the active components responsible for treatment efficacy.
  • Using metabolome and transcriptome analyses, significant differences were found in metabolites, with 318 and 298 differential metabolites identified between LD-LB and LD-LL groups, respectively.
  • Results indicate that steroidal saponins and steroidal alkaloids are likely key functional components in LB and LL, which can inform future research and development in traditional medicine.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists studied polysaccharides from three types of edible lilies using two extraction methods: subcritical water and ultrasound-assisted extraction.
  • * S-LP (from subcritical water) had more good stuff like higher yields, bigger molecules, and certain types of sugars, while U-LP (from ultrasound) had more reducing sugars and proteins.
  • * The study showed that the method of extraction mattered more than which lily was used and helped understand how to get the best polysaccharides from lilies.
