Abstract:

Setcreasea purpurea is a highly copper(Cu)tolerant and hyperaccumulator plant. It is the first time that RNA-Seq technology was applied to profile the transcriptome of it in this study. Candidate genes related to copper tolerance of S. purpurea were assembled based on de novo transcriptome analysis. A total of 82 471 high-quality unigenes with an N50 length of 2 299 bp were obtained through transcriptome profiling,which provided abundant data for future studies on S. purpurea. The sequencing data of the control group(CK),300 mol/L stress group(CT1),and 1 000 mol/L stress group(CT2)were deposited in the NCBI sequence read archive database under the accession number SAMN11265427. After comparing CT1 with CK,a total of 5 028 unigenes were significantly differentially expressed in the roots,accounting for 6.10% of all unigenes. Among them,the significantly up-regulated unigenes and down-regulated unigenes were 3 138 and 1 890,respectively. After comparing CT2 with CT1,a total of 6 813 unigenes were significantly differentially expressed in the roots,accounting for 8.26% of all unigenes. Among them,the significantly up-regulated unigenes and down-regulated unigenes were 2 555 and 4 258,respectively. The results were consistent with Illumina sequencing data based on the quantitative fluorescence analysis of 10 randomly selected genes by qRT-PCR,which confirmed the validity of differentially expressed gene data. The above experiment provides a theoretical basis for examining the molecular mechanism of copper tolerance under copper stress on the molecular level.
