Comparative transcriptomics analysis of contrasting varieties of Eucalyptus camaldulensis reveals wind resistance genes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Wind, an important abiotic stress factor, affects forests in coastal areas, causes tree damage and timber loss.

Methods

Two genotypes of Eucalyptus camaldulensis-strong wind-resistant CA5 and weak wind-resistant C037 were used for RNA-seq analysis to screen for candidate wind-resistance genes and transcription factors (TFs) by comparing the transcriptome analysis of the two varieties in response to wind stress.

Results

It showed that 7061 differentially expressed unigenes could be annotated including 4,110 up-regulated unigenes and 2,951 down-regulated unigenes. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that six cellulose pathways were involved in response to wind stress. The unigenes in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, phenylalanine metabolism, and flavonoi
