Exploration of key genes and pathways in response to submergence stress in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) by WGCNA.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Submergence stress is a prevalent abiotic stress affecting plant growth and development and can restrict plant cultivation in areas prone to flooding. Research on plant submergence stress tolerance has been essential in managing plant production under excessive rainfall. Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), a high-quality legume forage, exhibits low tolerance to submergence, and long-term submergence can lead to root rot and death.

Results

This study assessed the microstructure, physiological indicators, and the key genes and metabolic pathways under submergence stress in the root system of red clover HL(Hong Long) and ZY(Zi You) varieties under submergence stress at 0 h, 8 h, 24 h, 3 d, and 5 d. Based on 7740 transcripts identified in the leaves at 0 h, 8 h, and 2
