Comparative Physiological and Transcriptome Analysis of Crossostephium chinense Reveals Its Molecular Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance.

ABSTRACT: Crossostephium chinense is a wild species with strong salt tolerance that has great potential to improve the salt tolerance of cultivated chrysanthemums. Conversely, the unique salt-tolerant molecular mechanisms of Cr. chinense are still unclear. This study performed a comparative physiological and transcriptome analysis of Cr. chinense, Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium, and three hybrids to investigate the salt-tolerant molecular mechanisms of Cr. chinense. The physiological results showed that Cr. chinense maintained higher superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, alleviating oxidative damage to the membrane. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that plant hormone signaling transduction and the MAPK signaling pathway were mostly enriched in Cr. chinense</
