Gynostemma pentaphyllum sequence reads

Gynostemma pentaphyllum is an important medicinal herb widely distributed in Asian countries. The aerial stem-to-rhizome transition of Gynostemma pentaphyllum before wintering is an adaptive regenerative strategy enabling it to survive. However, the molecular regulation underlying the aerial stem-to-rhizome transition is unknown. Here, an integrated analysis of transcriptome and miRNAs was performed to investigate the regulatory network of the aerial stem-to-rhizome transition
