Abstract Leymus mollis, a wild relative of wheat, is very tolerant to salt stress, and has been considered as a valuable genetic
resource for wheat breeding. However, the genetic basis for salt tolerance of this species is still largely unknown. In
this study,
de novo sequencing, assembly and analysis of
L. mollis transcriptome in response to salt stress was
performed. A total of 110,323 and 112,846 unigenes were generated for the NaCl-free (CK) and 180 mM
NaCl-treated (CT) library, respectively. For the two libraries, 73,414 unigenes were successfully annotated in five
common protein databases, and 7521 differentially expressed genes…
