Abstract:
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicinal plants and is used for a variety of diseases and disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, hepatocirrhosis, chronic renal failure, Alzheimer's disease, angina pectoris, myocardial ischemia, liver diseases, and diabetic nephropathy. In recent years, with the shortage of uncultivated resources and uneven product quality of cultivated germplasm, the biosynthesis and regulation of its main active ingredient has become a topic of interest. The use of a multi-omics approach with
Salvia miltiorrhiza may provide genetic information as well as insights into the synthesis and regulation of the active ingredient at the molecular level. The paper presented a systematic review of the genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics associated with
Salvia miltiorrhiza, summarized the advances in biosynthesis, regulation and related functional genes, and also put forward some scientific problems of
Salvia miltiorrhiza that need to be further studied in the future.
