Tibet-0 high light

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is the highest and largest young plateau in the world and has the widest variety of extreme environments. Tibet-0 is the first Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype collected in the QTP. However, the adaptability of Tibet-0 to plateau environments is unknown. Here, we report that Tibet-0 has better adaptability to high-light conditions than ecotype Columbia (Col-0). This data sequenced the gene expression levels before and after 48h continous high light conditions in Col-0 and Tibet-0.

青藏高原（Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, QTP）是全球海拔最高、规模最大的年轻高原，拥有最为丰富多样的极端环境。拟南芥（Arabidopsis thaliana）生态型Tibet-0是首个在青藏高原采集的该物种生态型，但其对高原环境的适应性仍未可知。本研究发现，Tibet-0相较于哥伦比亚生态型（Col-0），对高光环境具有更优异的适应能力。本数据集对Col-0与Tibet-0在48小时持续高光处理前后的基因表达水平进行了测序。
