Integrated analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics of garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) under drought stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Drought is a leading environmental factor affecting plant growth. To explore the drought tolerance mechanism of asparagus, this study analyzed the responses of two asparagus varieties, namely, 'Jilv3' (drought tolerant) and 'Pacific Early' (drought sensitive), to drought stress using metabolomics and transcriptomics.

Results

In total, 2,567 and 7,187 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in 'Pacific Early' and 'Jilv3', respectively, by comparing the transcriptome expression patterns between the normal watering treatment and the drought stress treatment. These DEGs were significantly enriched in the amino acid biosynthesis, carbon metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction pathways. In 'Jilv3', DEGs were also enr
