Transcriptomics and physiological analyses reveal coordinated alteration of metabolic pathways in Jatropha curcas drought tolerance

ABSTRACT: Jatropha curcas, a multipurpose plant attracting much attention due to its high oil content and quality for biofuel, is recognized as a drought tolerant species. However, this drought tolerance is still poorly characterized. This study aims to contribute to uncover the molecular background of this tolerance, with the use of a combined approach of transcriptional profiling and morphophysiological characterization along a period of water withholding (49 days) followed by rewatering (7 days). Morphophysiological measurements evidenced that J. curcas plants presented different adaptations to withstand moderate and severe drought. Thus, RNA-Seq was performed for samples collected at moderate and severe stress followed by rewatering, for both roots and leaves. Transcriptomic analysis revealed or
