Integrated Analysis of Transcriptome and Small RNAome Reveals the Regulatory Network for Rapid Growth in Mikania micrantha.

ABSTRACT: M. micrantha has caused huge ecological damage and economic losses worldwide due to its rapid growth and serious invasion. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of its rapid growth and environmental adaption remain unclear. Here, we performed transcriptome and small RNA sequencing with five tissues of M. micrantha to dissect miRNA-mediated regulation in M. micrantha. WGCNA and GO enrichment analysis of transcriptome identified the gene association patterns and potential key regulatory genes for plant growth in each tissue. The genes highly correlated with leaf and stem tissues were mainly involved in the chlorophyll synthesis, response to auxin, the CAM pathway and other photosynthesis-related processes, which promoted the fast growth of M. micrantha.
