Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal) Iljinskaja is mainly used for harvesting leaves as materials for tea production and ingredients for the food industry. As its most important component, the contents of its total or specific flavonoids are supposed to vary at different ploidy levels. In the present study, two ploidy levels of C. paliurus are used to study their metabolome and transcriptome profiles. Though the total content of the flavonoids in leaves that were collected in September (the main harvesting season) presented insignificant differences between the two ploidies, flavonoid glucuronides were significantly accumulated in the tetraploid C. paliurus. Several structural genes related to the biosynthesis of these flavonoid glucuronides were expressed differentially, including PAL, 4CL, CHS, and CpUGTs. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed that nine genes were highly correlated with the flavonoid glucuronide contents. Furthermore, 3 CpMYB39 and 3 CpUGT71 were highly associated with this accumulation of flavonoid glucuronides in tetraploid C. paliurus. These results can provide a new perspective on how different polyploid levels alter the quantitative and qualitative patterns of the secondary metabolite production in C. paliurus.
