Swainsonine (SW) is a toxic alkaloid biosynthesized by the endophytic fungus  Alternaria oxytropis  in  Oxytropis glabra . The biosynthetic pathway of SW is poorly understood. Saccharopine reductase/dehydrogenase of fungus plays an important role in this pathway. The gene knocked out mutant M1 in  A. oxytropis  was constructed in our previous work. In this study, the transcriptome of wild-strain OW7.8 and M1 was firstly sequenced to understand the biosynthetic pathway and molecular mechanism of SW in  A. oxytropis . A total of 45,634 Unigenes were annotated. 5 genes were up-regulated and 11,213 genes were down-regulated. 41 Unigenes possibly related to the biosynthesis of SW were identified by data analyzing. The biosynthesis pathway of SW in the fungus was speculated, including two branches of P6C and P2C. Delta1-piperidine-2-carboxylate reductase, lysine 6-dehydrogenase, and saccharopine oxidase/L-pipecolate oxidase were involved in P6C. 1-piperidine-2-carboxylate/1-pyrroline-2- carboxylate reductase [NAD(P)H] and delta1-piperidine-2-carboxylate reductase were involved in P2C. Saccharopine reductase was involved in both. In addition, 1-indolizidineone was considered to be the direct precursor in the synthesis of SW, and the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase catalyzed the synthesis of SW. Here we analyzed details of the metabolic pathway of  A. oxytropis  SW, which is of great significance for the follow-up research.
