Abstract:
RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a newly developed method to analyze gene function and interaction at the omics level, which is widely used in frontier field in molecular biology and other fields. In recent years, this technology has been intensively used in the research of medicinal plants, and growing number of reports are published. This paper systematically sorted out relevant literatures and summarized applications of RNA-Seq technology in functional gene discovery, gene network analysis, genetic mechanism revelation and development of molecular marker of medicinal plants. Meanwhile, according to the technical characteristics of RNA-Seq and the development needs of medicinal plant research, this article brings the future prospects regarding RNA-seq technology in Chinese medicinal materials, and intending to provide inspirations for researches on Chinese materia medica based on RNA-Seq.
