Abstract:
Apocynum venetum, which belongs to Apocynaceae, is widely distributed throughout salt-barren zones, desert steppes, and alluvial flats of the Mediterranean area and Northwestern China. Apocynum venetum has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine because of its anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative, anti-hypertensive, anti-cancer, and bactericidal effects. However, the absence of genetic information on Apocynum venetum is an obstacle to understanding its stress resistance or medicinal function. This work was aimed at generating a full-length transcriptome of Apocynum venetum using Pacific Bioscience (PacBio) Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing technology. A total of 18,524 unigenes were obtained, and 18,136 unigenes were successfully annotated. The raw data were uploaded to SRA database, and the BioProject ID is PRJNA650225. The above data will provide the basis for further exploration and understanding of the molecular mechanism in stress resistance or medicinal function of Apocynum venetum.
