Integrating Full-Length Transcriptome and RNA Sequencing of Siberian Wildrye (Elymus sibiricus) to Reveal Molecular Mechanisms in Response to Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: Drought is one of the most significant limiting factors affecting plant growth and development on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Mining the drought-tolerant genes of the endemic perennial grass of the QTP, Siberian wildrye (Elymus sibiricus), is of great significance to creating new drought-resistant varieties which can be used in the development of grassland livestock and restoring natural grassland projects in the QTP. To investigate the transcriptomic responsiveness of E. sibiricus to drought stress, PEG-induced short- and long-term drought stress was applied to two Siberian wildrye genotypes (drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive accessions), followed by third- and second-generation transcriptome sequencing analysis. A total of 40,708 isoforms were detected, of which 1
