The transcriptome represents the whole complement of RNA transcripts in cells or tissues and reflects the expressed genes at various life stages, tissue types, physiological states, and environmental conditions. Transcriptomics study concerning medicinal plants has become the most active area in medicinal plant genome research. Transcriptome analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of gene expression and its regulation. The study of its transcriptome has great significance in solving the questions of genetic evolution, genetic breeding, ecology and so on. Here we report the application status of transcriptomics in medicinal plants based on emergence, development and methodology of transcriptomics.
转录组代表细胞或组织中RNA转录本的全部互补序列，反映了在不同生命阶段、组织类型、生理状态和环境条件下表达的基因。关于药用植物的转录组学研究已成为药用植物基因组研究中最活跃的领域。转录组分析有助于全面了解基因表达及其调控机制。对其转录组的研究对于解决遗传进化、遗传育种、生态学等问题具有重要意义。在此，我们基于转录组学的出现、发展和方法，报告转录组学在药用植物中的应用现状。
