This study summarized the molecular regulation and synthetic pathways of Torreya grandis in major metabolites such as sterols, amino acids and flavonoids. Through joint analysis of gene cloning, transcriptome and metabolome, it was found that some key genes play important roles in the synthesis and stress resistance of active components, and the regulatory potential of transcription factors in metabolic pathways was explored. The nutrient cycling and utilization of Torreya grandis at different forest ages were reviewed. It was expounded that precise nutrition management is crucial for the long-term stability and sustainable development of the forest stand. Combined with the methods of synthetic biology, the prospects and challenges of Torreya grandis in high-value utilization and the development of eco-friendly industries were proposed. This research aims to provide theoretical and technical support for the molecular breeding, functional component development and sustainable utilization of Torreya grandis.
