Identification of Salt-Sensitive and Salt-Tolerant Genes through Weighted Gene Co-Expression Networks across Multiple Datasets: A Centralization and Differential Correlation Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress is a significant challenge that severely hampers rice growth, resulting in decreased yield and productivity. Over the years, researchers have identified biomarkers associated with salt stress to enhance rice tolerance. However, the understanding of the mechanism underlying salt tolerance in rice remains incomplete due to the involvement of multiple genes. Given the vast amount of genomics and transcriptomics data available today, it is crucial to integrate diverse datasets to identify key genes that play essential roles during salt stress in rice. In this study, we propose an integration of multiple datasets to identify potential key transcription factors. This involves utilizing network analysis based on weighted co-expression networks, focusing on gene-centric measurement and
