Comparing time-series transcriptomes between chilling-resistant and -susceptible rice reveals potential transcription factors responding to chilling stress.

ABSTRACT: Low temperature is one of the most important environmental factors that inhibits rice growth and grain yield. Transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in chilling acclimation by regulating gene expression. However, transcriptional dynamics and key regulators responding to low temperature remain largely unclear in rice. In this study, a transcriptome-based comparative analysis was performed to explore genome-wide gene expression profiles between a chilling-resistant cultivar DC90 and a chilling-susceptible cultivar 9311 at a series of time points under low temperature treatment and recovery condition. A total of 3,590 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two cultivars were determined and divided into 12 co-expression modules. Meanwhile, several biological processes participat
