Total RNA was extracted from Granta-519 cells infected with shctrl or shKIAA0101 lentiviruses. Next, the content and quality of RNA were analyzed using the Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Pal Alto, CA, USA). RNA (1.7< A260/A280 <2.2, RNA integrity number ≥7.0 and 28S/18S >0.7) was reverse transcribed into first-strand cDNA, which was further converted into double-stranded DNA and biotin-labeled amplified RNA (aRNA) using the GeneChip 3' IVT Express Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). After purification, aRNA was quantified using the Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific), fragmented, and hybridized with the GeneChip Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix). Next, hybridized chips were stained and washed using the GeneChip Hybridization Wash and Stain Kit (Affymetrix) on the Genechip Fluidics Station 450 instrument (Affymetrix).

For RNA isolation, the treated cells were first washed with 1 mL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (10010023, Gibco) per well and then harvested with 350 μL buffer RLT (74104, Qiagen, Germany) supplemented with 1% β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME). Afterwards, the RNA was isolated with an RNase Mini Kit (74104, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) following the producer’s protocol including an on-column DNA digestion (RNase-Free DNase, Qiagen, Germany) and a DNase step for removal of genomic DNA. In order to control the success of the purification and to ensure a uniform cDNA synthesis, every sample was measured twice (Nanodrop 2000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
After isolation, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the eluted RNA purity and quantity of each sample was verified photometrically by optical density (OD) readings of the A260/280 nm ratio (Nanodrop 2000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The spectrophotometric ratio of A260/280 varied >1.80 and A260/230 values yield a ratio >2.0. Thus, the isolated RNA could be regarded as free of protein and polyphenols/polysaccharides contaminants.

For the reference genome assembly, fresh leaves of P. cineraria were collected from one tree (~15–20 years old) growing in the desert of Sweihan area (Figure 1A; 24°17′18.3″ N 55°43′36.2″ E), Al Ain, Abu Dhabi Emirates, UAE. Genomic DNA was extracted from the green leaves using a modified Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method (detailed DNA isolation method is described in Supplementary Information A). The quantity of the DNA was determined by NanoDrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and the quality was confirmed in a 1% (w/v) agarose gel.
To assist gene annotation, RNA was extracted from leaves, roots, or flowers using a modification of a previously published method [55 (link)] (the detailed RNA isolation method is described in Supplementary Information B). The isolated RNA concentration was estimated by NanoDrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and quality was checked by 1.2% agarose gel. The extracted RNA was sent to the Yale Center for Genomic Analysis (YCGA) for library preparation and sequencing on Illumina Hiseq 2000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).
