Transcriptome sequencing analysis of rhizomes of Polygonatum cyrtonema upon pathogenic fungi infection
To investigate the molecular defense mechanism of *Polygonatum cyrtonema* rhizomes responding to pathogenic fungi infection, healthy and pathogen-infected rhizome samples were harvested for total RNA extraction and high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Illumina paired-end RNA-seq platform was used to generate transcriptomic data. Through bioinformatic analysis, differentially expressed genes were screened, and vital resistance-related metabolic pathways were characterized, which will lay a theoretical foundation for understanding the disease resistance regulation network of *Polygonatum cyrtonema*.
