Understanding the response in Pugionium cornutum (L.) Gaertn. seedling leaves under drought stress using transcriptome and proteome integrated analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Drought is one of the crucial constraints limiting horticultural plant's production and development around the world. Pugionium cornutum is an annual or biennial xerophyte with strong environmental adaptability and drought resistance; however, the mechanisms with respect to response to drought stress remain largely unclear.

Methods

After seedling emergence, the gravimetric method was used to control soil relative water content (SRWC). Drought stress was applied to the six-leaf stage P. cornutum seedlings. The soil water content of different drought stress levels (L) was controlled by gravimetric method as follows: control (L1): 70-75% SRWC; moderate drought level (L2): 40-45% SRWC; severe drought level (L3): 30-35% SRWC, and the water was added to di
