Project description:Anthurium andraeanum is one of the most popular tropical flowers. In temperate and cold zones, a much greater risk of cold stress occurs in the supply of Anthurium plants. Unlike the freeze-tolerant model plants, Anthurium plants are particularly sensitive to low temperatures. Improvement of chilling tolerance in Anthurium may significantly increase its production and extend its shelf-life. To date, no previous genomic information has been reported in Anthurium plants.
Project description:The transcriptome of leaves from two Anthurium cultivars, Oregon (Elegang, E, cold tolerant) and Fantasy love (Menghuan, MH, cold sensitive) under cold stress were sequenced by Illumina Novaseq™ 6000. Sequencing generated a total of 129.44 Gb of raw reads and an average of 7.19 Gb of reads for each sample. The analysis showed differences of transcriptomes between the control and the cold treatment samples. We identified numerous differentially expressed genes that exhibited distinct expression patterns. These genes have known or potential roles inAnthurium cold tolerance.Therefore, we are appealing candidates for further investigation of the gene expression and associated regulatory mechanisms related to the cold stress response of A. andraeanum.
