Transcriptomic profile of lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa) response to microalgae extracts used as biostimulant agents.

ABSTRACT: To reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and maximize agricultural yields, the use of microalgae extracts as biostimulants has recently attracted significant attention due to their favourable impact on both plant growth and their ability to induce tolerance towards environmental stressors. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is one of the most important fresh vegetables that often requires applications of chemical fertilizers to increase quality and productivity. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to analyse the transcriptome reprogramming of lettuce (L. sativa) seedlings in response to either Chlorella vulgaris or Scenedesmus quadricauda extracts by applying an RNAseq approach. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that the core gene set that responded t
