Transcriptome Analysis Provides Insights into Potentilla bifurca Adaptation to High Altitude.

ABSTRACT: Potentilla bifurca is widely distributed in Eurasia, including the Tibetan Plateau. It is a valuable medicinal plant in the Tibetan traditional medicine system, especially for the treatment of diabetes. This study investigated the functional gene profile of Potentilla bifurca at different altitudes by RNA-sequencing technology, including de novo assembly of 222,619 unigenes from 405 million clean reads, 57.64% of which were annotated in Nr, GO, KEGG, Pfam, and Swiss-Prot databases. The most significantly differentially expressed top 50 genes in the high-altitude samples were derived from plants that responded to abiotic stress, such as peroxidase, superoxide dismutase protein, and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. Pathway analysis revealed that a large number of DEGs encode k
