Comparative transcriptome profiling of Rhododendron anthopogon D.Don along elevation gradient

We investigate the variation in gene expression patterns of Rhododendron anthopogon D. Don along an elevation gradient (3200 to 3900 m) in Kashmir Himalaya based on comparative transcriptome profiling. We observe differentially expressed transcripts along an elevation gradient. The number of unique differentially expressed transcripts were found to be higher between Site-1 (3200 m) vs Site-3 (3900 m), as compared to Site-1 (3200 m) vs Site-2 (3500 m), and Site-2 (3500 m) vs Site-3 (3900 m), revealing a positive correlation along an elevation gradient
