RNA-seq analysis of white clover in response to cold stress

White clover is the most important perennial forage legume in global world, but its limited capacity to low temperature stress during winter constrains tis productivity. However, the importance of cold tolerance for white clover cultivar is rapidly developing, but the genetic basis of cold tolerance is remains largely unknown. Hence, we performed time-course transcriptome sequencing works in white clover to identify critical genes involving in cold tolerance, which would provide insights into genetic improvement for white clover genetic breeding.
