Abstract

The timber species is one of the most important in southern China. Therefore, it is essential to understand the photosynthetic pattern in eucalyptus leaves. In the present study, eighteen photosynthesis-related genes were analyzed using bioinformatics methods. The results indicated that there were ten differentially expressed genes (), and six of them were up-regulated in the mature leaves compared to the young leaves, while others were down-regulated. The differential expression of four genes () were observed. Two of them were up-regulated, while two were down-regulated in mature leaves compared to young leaves. Furthermore, two genes () were up-regulated in the mature leaves compared to the young leaves. In contrast, two genes involved in (TIM) were down-regulated in mature leaves compared with young leaves. The current study provides basic information about the transcriptome of and lays a foundation for further research in developing and utilizing important photosynthetic genes.
