Transcriptome Regulation Mechanisms Difference between Female and Male Buchloe dactyloides in Response to Drought Stress and Rehydration.

ABSTRACT: Drought, a pervasive global challenge, significantly hampers plant growth and crop yields, with drought stress being a primary inhibitor. Among resilient species, Buchloe dactyloides, a warm-season and dioecious turfgrass, stands out for its strong drought resistance and minimal maintenance requirements, making it a favored choice in ecological management and landscaping. However, there is limited research on the physiological and molecular differences in drought resistance between male and female B. dactyloides. To decipher the transcriptional regulation dynamics of these sexes in response to drought, RNA-sequencing analysis was conducted using the 'Texoka' cultivar as a model. A 14-day natural drought treatment, followed by a 7-day rewatering period, was applied. Notably, d
