A full-length transcriptome of Populus alba x Populus tremula var. glandulosa clone 84K

The male hybrid poplar P. alba × P. tremula var. glandulosa, or 84K poplar, is an important model plant due to its excellent properties and ease of transformation. Because of its two subgenomes, alleles in 84K poplar have different transcription bias and expression patterns, making it more complex than traditional model plants. To investigate a more realistic transcriptional profile of its genes, full-length transcriptome was sequenced.

雄性杂交杨P. alba × P. tremula var. glandulosa（即84K杨）因其优良特性及易于转化的特点，是一种重要的模式植物。由于具有两个亚基因组（subgenomes），84K杨中的等位基因（alleles）存在不同的转录偏好性（transcription bias）和表达模式（expression patterns），使其比传统模式植物更为复杂。为探究其基因更真实的转录谱（transcriptional profile），研究人员对其全长转录组（full-length transcriptome）进行了测序。
