Comparative transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals the differential response to salinity stress of two genotypes brewing sorghum.

ABSTRACT: Salinity tolerance in brewing sorghum is a very important trait, especially in areas that are affected by soil salinity. In order to elucidate the mechanism underlying salt tolerance, we conducted a comparative analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome in two distinct sweet sorghum genotypes, namely the salt-tolerant line NY1298 and the salt-sensitive line MY1176, following exposure to salt treatment. Our initial findings indicate the presence of genotype-specific responses in brewing sorghum under salt stress conditions. Notably, there were variations in the expression of genes and metabolites among different genotypes in response to high-salt stress. Specifically, certain transcription factors belonging to the WRKY, MYB, and NAC families were identified as being involved in the respon
