Catalpa bungei is a deciduous tree native to China. It is characterized as fast growing, being highly adaptable, and having excellent wood qualities. To better understand potential mechanisms involved in adventitious root (AR) formation, we performed transcriptome analysis of softwood cuttings of C. bungei ‘Yu-1’ at three stages of AR formation using the Illumina sequencing method. Following de novo assembly, 62,955 unigenes were obtained, 31,646 (50.26 %) of which were annotated. A total of 11,100 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 10,200 unique and 900 common, were identified in four comparisons. Based on the all GO enrichment networks, 46 common and 7 unique GO categories were identified. Cytoskeleton was only significantly enriched in the activation period, while DNA metabolic process was only significantly enriched in the callus formation. Functional annotation analysis revealed that many of these genes were involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, glycolysis, and plant hormone metabolism, suggesting potential contributions to AR formation. Interestingly, the number of DEGs involved in glycolysis decreased while the number of DEGs involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis increased following the AR formative process. Overall, our comprehensive transcriptional overview will prove useful, not only in the understanding of molecular networks that regulate AR formation in C. bungei, but also for exploring genes that may improve rooting rates of other trees.
