RNA-seq analysis reveals transcriptome reprogramming and alternative splicing during early response to salt stress in tomato root.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress is one of the dominant abiotic stress conditions that cause severe damage to plant growth and, in turn, limiting crop productivity. It is therefore crucial to understand the molecular mechanism underlying plant root responses to high salinity as such knowledge will aid in efforts to develop salt-tolerant crops. Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor RNA is one of the important RNA processing steps that regulate gene expression and proteome diversity, and, consequently, many physiological and biochemical processes in plants, including responses to abiotic stresses like salt stress. In the current study, we utilized high-throughput RNA-sequencing to analyze the changes in the transcriptome and characterize AS landscape during the early response of tomato root to salt stress.
