In this work, the changes in isoflavone levels and the expression of genes involved in their biosynthesis were studied in two Astragalus by UPLC-MS and real-time PCR after 10 days of UV-B treatment (lambda(max)=313nm, 804J m(-2)). Isoflavones were significantly induced by UV-B irradiation. The influence might be activated by the regulation of these target genes. Our results indicate that (1) the resistance of Astragalus membranaceus might not be as good as Astragalus mongholicus in the enhanced UV-B radiation environment; (2) the enhanced accumulation of calycosin and calycosin-7-glucoside with UV-B treatment in roots of A. mongholicus might be derived from formononetin which is synthesized in the leaves; (3) the glycosylation process could be stimulated and activated by the enhanced UV-B radiation in both A. mongholicus and A. membranaceus. In other words, glycosylation of isoflavones might play a crucial role for two Astragalus plants in response to UV-B stress. Overall, this study offered a feasible elicitation strategy to understand the accumulation pattern of isoflavone in A.mongholicus and A.membranaceus, and also provided a reference for the changes in isoflavone levels of Astragalus in UV-B enhanced environment in the future.
