De novo sequencing, assembly, and analysis of the Taxodium‘Zhongshansa’ roots and shoots transcriptome in response to short-term waterlogging

Abstract

We conclude that ROS detoxification and energy maintenance were the primary coping mechanisms of 'Zhongshansa' in surviving oxygen deficiency, which may be responsible for its remarkable waterlogging tolerance. Our study not only provided the first large-scale assessment of genomic resources of Taxodium but also guidelines for probing the molecular mechanism underlying 'Zhongshansa' waterlogging tolerance.
