The Antarctic moss Leptobryum pyriforme transcriptome sequencing

Bryophytes are the dominant flora in the Antarctic continent. They suffer more harmful ultraviolet radiation in Antarctica due to the ozone layer destruction. However, the molecular mechanism of Antarctic moss adaptation to UV-B radiation remains unclear. In the research, the gene transcriptional profiling the Antarctic moss Leptobryum pyriforme under UV-B radiation was conducted by RNA sequencing technology.The differentially expressed genes in Antarctic moss were analyzed by comparing UV-B radiation group and control group.
