Comparative transcriptome analysis and identification of candidate adaptive evolution genes of Miscanthus lutarioriparius and Miscanthus sacchariflorus.

ABSTRACT: Miscanthus species are perennial C4 grasses that are considered promising energy crops because of their high biomass yields, excellent adaptability and low management costs. Miscanthus lutarioriparius and Miscanthus sacchariflorus are closely related subspecies that are distributed in different habitats. However, there are only a few reports on the mechanisms by which Miscanthus adapts to different environments. Here, comparative transcriptomic and morphological analyses were used to study the evolutionary adaptation of M. lutarioriparius and M. sacchariflorus to different habitats. In total, among 7586 identified orthologs, 2060 orthologs involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and plant hormones were differentially expressed between the two spec
