Full-length transcriptome analysis of multiple organs and identification of adaptive genes and pathways in Mikania micrantha.

ABSTRACT: Mikania micrantha is a notorious invasive weed that has caused huge economic loss and negative ecological consequences in invaded areas. This species can adapt well to invasive environments with various stress factors. The identification of gene families and functional pathways related to environmental adaptability is lack in M. micrantha at the multi-organ full-length transcriptome level. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of five M. micrantha organs using PacBio single-molecule real-time sequencing and Illumina RNA sequencing technologies. Based on the transcriptome data, full-length transcripts were captured and gene expression patterns among the five organs were analyzed. KEGG enrichment analysis of genes with higher expression indicated their special roles in environmental
