Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Key Genes Involved in the Response of Pyrus betuleafolia to Drought and High-Temperature Stress.

ABSTRACT: Drought and high-temperature stress are the main abiotic stresses that alone or simultaneously affect the yield and quality of pears worldwide. However, studies on the mechanisms of drought or high-temperature resistance in pears remain elusive. Therefore, the molecular responses of Pyrus betuleafolia, the widely used rootstock in pear production, to drought and high temperatures require further study. Here, drought- or high-temperature-resistant seedlings were selected from many Pyrus betuleafolia seedlings. The leaf samples collected before and after drought or high-temperature treatment were used to perform RNA sequencing analysis. For drought treatment, a total of 11,731 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 4444 drought-induced genes and 7287 d
