Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the differences in wound-induced agarwood formation between Chi-Nan and ordinary germplasm of Aquilaria sinensis.

ABSTRACT: Agarwood is a rare and valuable heartwood derived from Aquilaria sinensis in China. Compared with ordinary germplasm, Chi-Nan, a special germplasm of A. sinensis, has a better agarwood-producing capacity. However, the mechanisms underlying their different qualities remain poorly characterized. Here, a comparative transcriptome analysis of Chi-Nan and ordinary A. sinensis was carried out to investigate the wound responses of both germplasms. A total of 198.19 Gb of clean data were obtained with an average of 6.61 Gb of clean reads for each sample. By comparing with their control groups, more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed in Chi-Nan germplasm. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and expression profile analysis suggested that Chi-Nan posse
