摘要

Lantana camara L. is a valuable source of bioactive compounds, yet the absence of genomic and transcriptomic resources limits its molecular improvement. To address this, we performed a de novo root transcriptome analysis using the Illumina platform, generating 12.6 GB of clean data (84 million reads). Assembly produced 513,985 unigenes and 516,026 transcripts, with comprehensive annotation across multiple databases (SWISSPROT, PFAM, GO, NR, NT, KO, KOG). A total of 115,389 unigenes were mapped to five Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional groups, representing 19 sub-categories and 131 pathways. Importantly, 119 genes encoding 13 key enzymes were identified in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. This study provides the first root transcriptome resource for L. camara (Verbenaceae), establishing a foundation for future molecular research and biotechnological exploitation of this medicinally important species.
