主要研究：Here, we report a high-quality reference genome of P. notoginseng, whose genome size up to 2.66 Gb with a contig N50 of 1.12 Mb using third-generation PacBio sequencing technology, and which is the first chromosome-level genome of genus Panax.

结果1-WGD与皂苷合成：Through genome evolution analysis, we explored the phylogenetic and whole genome duplication (WGD) events, and also their impact on the biosynthesis of saponins.

结果2-块茎：We further performed detailed transcriptional analysis of P. notoginseng and explored the gene-level regulatory mechanism of the formation of characteristic phenotype-tubercles.

结果3-皂苷合成：Then we studied the biosynthesis and regulation of saponins in temporal and spatial level, respectively.

结果4-萜类合成：Combining multi-omics data, we identified key enzyme genes involved in the terpenoid biosynthetic pathway of P. notoginseng.

结果5-人参皂苷：Finally, we identified 5 glycosyltransferase genes that could catalyze the formation of different ginsenosides in P. notoginseng.

结论：The genetic information obtained in this study provides a resource for further exploring the growth characteristics, cultivation, breeding and biosynthesis of saponins in P. notoginseng.
