Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Isoetes Sinensis Under Terrestrial and Submerged Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Isoetes L. is an ancient genus of heterosporous lycopsids with a unique phylogenetic position. Repeated adaptations to environmental changes over time have contributed to occupying a variety of niches in Isoetes. However, we know little about how they adapt to the environmental changes, and the sequence resources are very limited in public databases. Isoetes sinensis is an amphibious plant in this genus, alternating frequently between terrestrial and aquatic environments. In this study, I. sinensis was applied to investigate the adaptations under terrestrial (TC) and submerged (ST) conditions using Illumina RNA-sequencing technology. Approximately 87 million high-quality reads were yielded and assembled into 31,619 unigenes with an average length of 1618 bp. Ove
