Comparative transcriptome and coexpression network analysis revealed the regulatory mechanism of Astragalus cicer L. in response to salt stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Astragalus cicer L. is a perennial rhizomatous legume forage known for its quality, high biomass yield, and strong tolerance to saline-alkaline soils. Soil salinization is a widespread environmental pressure. To use A. cicer L. more scientifically and environmentally in agriculture and ecosystems, it is highly important to study the molecular response mechanism of A. cicer L. to salt stress.

Results

In this study, we used RNA-seq technology and weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) were performed. The results showed 4 key modules were closely related to the physiological response of A. cicer. L. to salt stress. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of key modules were mapped into the KEGG database, and found that the most abundant pathways were t
