Ageratina adenophora Transcriptome or Gene expression. Ageratina adenophora

Eupatorium adenophorum (Crofton weed) is an invasive weed that distributes in more than 30 countries worldwide. E. adenophorum inhibits the growth of surrounding plants by releasing allelochemicals during the invasion. However, the synthetic pathways and molecular mechanisms of its allelochemicals have been rarely reported.In this study, the related genes and pathways of allelochemicals in E. adenophorum were analyzed. Transcriptome analysis showed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway and flavonoid biosynthetic pathway.
