Transcriptome analysis of salicylic acid treatment in Rehmannia glutinosa hairy roots

The goals of this study are to investigate transcriptional changes in Rehmannia glutinosa hairy roots responding to salicylic acid, and identify genes involved in acteoside biosynthesis. To investigate the transcriptome response to SA induction in the hairy roots of R. glutinosa, the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform was used to perform high throughput tag-seq analysis on R. glutinosa hairy root libraries constructed at 3 time points before and during the 24 h SA treatment period.
