Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (AAs) represent a diverse class of plant specialized metabolites and many display potent pharmacological activities. The AA metabolic pathway is poorly understood and resources are minimal. To enable AA pathway elucidation and novel biosynthetic enzymes discovery, we generated comprehensive metabolomic and corresponding transcriptomic datasets from different tissues of Narcissus pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred'. In this study, we performed untargeted UPLC-QTOF-MS metabolite analysis from different tissues, which generated exhaustive list of compounds, including several AAs, most predominant and diverse in bulbs. RNA sequencing of N. pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred' bulbs yielded 195,347 transcripts, after assembly. Top expressed genes belong to process like metabolism, survival, and defense including alkaloid biosynthetic genes. The transcriptome contained complete sequences for all proposed genes encoding AA-biosynthetic enzymes such as tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC1 and TYDC2), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL1 and PAL2) and phenolic acids hydroxylases (C4H and C3H) to name a few. Furthermore, transcriptome data were validated using RT-qPCR analysis and expression study in different tissues of N. pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred' was performed. Here, we present the first comprehensive metabolome and transcriptome study from N. pseudonarcissus 'King Alfred' providing invaluable resources for metabolic engineering and biotechnological applications.
