Spartina alterniflora has become one of the dominant species in the coastal wetlands in China due to its unique physiological and ecological characteristics (e.g., higher growth rate, higher net primary yield, and higher salt tolerance) compared to native plants [13,14]. To dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying its salinity adaptation, leaf and root transcriptome of S. alterniflora was sequenced using 454/GS-FLX. The short form is more common in slightly higher areas, while the tall form is more common in low areas that are flooded by tides every day.
