3. **Regulation via Transcription Factors**: -The study identified 990 transcription factors from various families, including MYB, AP2/ERF, bHLH, and WRKY, that are implicated in the regulation of paclitaxel biosynthesis. Co-expression network analysis revealed specific TF-enzyme interactions, demonstrating how these TFs coordinate the expression of multiple biosynthetic genes. This discovery opens avenues for metabolic engineering by targeting TFs to modulate the expression of critical enzymes involved in paclitaxel synthesis. . **Post-transcriptional Regulation via miRNAs and phasiRNAs**: -A total of 460 miRNAs and 160 phasiRNAs were identified, many of which target genes involved in paclitaxel biosynthesis. miRNAs were shown to regulate key enzymes like GGPPS-1, TBT-2, and T13aOH-3 by either degrading mRNA or inhibiting its translation. The identification of miRNA targets enriched in ADP binding, copper ion binding, and plant hormone signal transduction pathways provides insights into the broader regulatory mechanisms at play. 5. **PhasiRNAs and Their Role in Fine-tuning Gene Expression**: -PhasiRNAs, small RNAs processed from double-stranded RNA precursors, were shown to target genes in the paclitaxel biosynthesis pathway and regulate them post-transcriptionally. The hierarchical regulation involving miRNA-triggered phasiRNA production suggests a complex, multilayered regulatory mechanism that maintains precise control over paclitaxel biosynthesis. This could provide a new lever for enhancing production by manipulating phasiRNA-mediated pathways.
