description <i>Fagopylum tatarium</i> (L.) Gaertn (buckwheat) can be used both as medicine and food and is also an important food crop in barren areas and has great economic value. Exploring the molecular mechanisms of the response to cadmium (Cd) stress can provide the theoretical reference for improving the buckwheat yield and quality. In this study, perennial tartary buckwheat DK19 was used as the experimental material, its key metabolic pathways in the response to Cd stress were identified and verified through transcriptomic and metabolomic data analysis. In this investigation, 1798 metabolites were identified through non-targeted metabolomic analysis containing 1091 up-regulated and 984down-regulated metabolites after treatment. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of differential metabolites was significantly enriched in galactose metabolism, glycerol metabolism, phenylpropane biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism. Linkage analysis detected 11 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the galactose metabolism pathway, 8 candidate DEGs in the lipid metabolism pathway, and 20 candidate DEGs in the glutathione metabolism pathway. The results of our study provided useful clues for genetically improving the resistance to cadmium by analyzing the molecular mechanism of cadmium tolerance in buckwheat.
