Comparative transcriptome sequencing and de novo analysis of Magnolia wufengensis in response to cold stress

Our study performed de novo transcriptome assembly for Magnolia wufengensis and compared the transcriptomes of plants grown under normal and low temperatures, which can be used to characterize genes related to biological processes. This is the first report of transcriptome sequencing of cold-stressed Magnolia wufengensis. Our findings provide important clues for not only understanding the cold stress molecular mechanisms in plants but also for introducing cold hardiness in Magnolia wufengensis.
