Popis: Abstract Background Tree peony (Paeonia sect. Moutan DC.) is a famous flower native to China with high ornamental, medicinal, and oil value. However, the low regeneration rate of callus is one of the main constraints for the establishment of a genetic transformation system in tree peony. By histomorphological observation, transcriptomic analysis and metabolite determination, we investigated the molecular mechanism of somatic embryogenesis after the establishment of a culture system and the induction of somatic embryo(SE) formation. Results We found that SE formation was successfully induced when cotyledons were used as explants. A total of 3185 differentially expressed genes were screened by comparative transcriptomic analysis of embryogenic callus (EC), SE, and non-embryogenic callus (NEC). Compared to NEC, the auxin synthesis-related genes GH3.6 and PCO2 were up-regulated, whereas cytokinin dehydrogenase (CKX6) and CYP450 family genes were down-regulated in somatic embryogenesis. In SE, the auxin content was significantly higher than the cytokinin content. The methyltransferase-related gene S-adenosylmethionine synthase (SAMS) and the flavonoid biosynthesis-related gene (ANS and F3’5’H) were down-regulated in somatic embryogenesis. The determination of flavonoids showed that rhoifolin and hyperoside had the highest content in SE. The results of transcriptome analysis were consistent with the relative expression of 8 candidate genes by quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Conclusion The results revealed that auxin and cytokinin may play a key role in ‘Fengdan’ somatic embryogenesis. The genes related to somatic embryogenesis were revealed, which has partly elucidated the molecular mechanism of somatic embryogenesis in ‘Fengdan’.
