We report here the use of next-generation massively parallel sequencing technologies and de novo transcriptome assembly to gain insight into the wide range of transcriptome of two Hevea brasiliensis clones (93-114 and Reken501). Illumina sequencing generated a total of about 7-8G raw reads from each of the six batches (two batches for control and four batches for cold-treatment) of rubber tree clone 'Reken501' and '93-114', respectively. By using these reads, 167,911 unigenes with an average length of 847 bp were obtained by de novo assembly with a series of optimized parameters. Base on limit rule with FDR≤0.001 and |log2 Ratio|≥1, 2052 unigenes were up-regulated and 3440 unigenes were down-regulated under 1 h cold treatment in 'Reken501', whereas 2403 unigenes were up-regulated and 18376 unigenes were down-regulated under 1 h cold treatment in'93-114', and the amounts of up-regulated and down-regulated unigenes were respectively 6923 and 6282 in 'Reken501', whereas it was respectively 5295 unigenes and 21229 unigenes in'93-114' . Functional analysis showed mass of categories were reprogrammed between two clones. In detail,anthocyanin, flavonoid, isoflavonoid biosynthesis and starch and sucrose metabolism were shown more active in the cold-sensitive clone 'Reken 501', while the nitrogen metabolism, vitamin B6 metabolism, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and other processes of circadian rhythm-plant, spliceosome and RNA polymerase were more robust in the relatively cold-tolerant clone '93-114'. Moreover, the 'heat' module and 'Thinredoxin' module in the cellular stress response were highly induced in clone '93-114'.
