Transcriptome analysis of salt stress responsiveness in the seedlings of wild and cultivated Ricinus communis L.

Soil salinity is one of the major environmental factors, influencing agricultural productivity of crops. As a non-edible and ideal oilseed crop, castor (Ricinus communis L.) has great industrial value in biofuel, but molecular mechanisms of salt stress regulation are still unknown.

De Novo Transcriptome Sequencing of Low Temperature-Treated Phlox subulata and Analysis of the Genes Involved in Cold Stress.

Phlox subulata, a perennial herbaceous flower, can survive during the winter of northeast China, where the temperature can drop to -30 °C, suggesting that P. subulata is an ideal model for studying the molecular mechanisms of cold acclimation in plants. However, little is known about the gene expression profile of P.
