Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Profiling of Root Tissue in Drought-Tolerant and Drought-Susceptible Wheat Genotypes in Response to Water Stress.

ABSTRACT: Wheat is the most widely grown crop in the world; its production is severely disrupted by increasing water deficit. Plant roots play a crucial role in the uptake of water and perception and transduction of water deficit signals. In the past decade, the mechanisms of drought tolerance have been frequently reported; however, the transcriptome and metabolome regulatory network of root responses to water stress has not been fully understood in wheat. In this study, the global transcriptomic and metabolomics profiles were employed to investigate the mechanisms of roots responding to water stresses using the drought-tolerant (DT) and drought-susceptible (DS) wheat genotypes. The results showed that compared with the control group, wheat roots exposed to polyethylene glycol (PEG) had 25941 differ
