Comparative Analyses of Full-Length Transcriptomes Reveal Gnetum luofuense Stem Developmental Dynamics.

ABSTRACT: Genus Gnetum, of which the majority species are pantropical liana, have broad industrial uses including for string, nets, and paper production. Although numerous studies have investigated anatomical structures during stem development, the underlying molecular mechanisms that regulate this developmental trajectory in Gnetum species remain poorly understood. A total of 12 full-length transcriptomes were generated from four stem developmental stages of an arborescent representative of this genus, Gnetum luofuense, using Oxford Nanopore Technologies. The results of this analysis reveal a total of 24,151 alternative splicing (AS) and 134,391 alternative polyadenylation events. A remarkably dynamic pattern of AS events, especially in the case of intron retentions, was found
