Metabolomics Integrated with Transcriptomics Reveals the growth and development of Atraphaxis bracteata in different age stages

Three different ages and wild A. bracteata were obtained from Tengger Desert, Minqin County, Gansu Province, China. Took the leaves of 3, 5, 15 year-old and wild A. bracteata as experimental materials.To investigate the differences in transcriptome expression among different age stages of A. bracteata, the Illumina platforms were used to conduct high-throughput sequencing. A total of 76.75Gb of clean data and was obtained from 12 samples which include 3 biological replicates in each 3 different age stages and 1 wild-type, and the average amount of clean data is 6.3Gb.
