Metabolic profiling and gene expression analyses shed light on the cold adaptation mechanisms of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk.

ABSTRACT: The northeastern region of China experiences a distinctly cold climate influenced by the Siberian High during the winter months, thus resulting in severe cold weather conditions. Snow cover is prevalent and can persist for several months. This prolonged exposure to low temperatures necessitates specific adaptations in terms of agriculture and plant life, particularly for perennial herbs. Saposhnikovia divaricate (Turcz.) Schischk (SD) is a widely distributed perennial herb in the northeastern and northern provinces of China. However, there is limited documentation on the molecular mechanism through which this plant adapts to cold stress. Therefore, we elucidated the SD response to cold stress by transcriptome and metabolome analysis. Cold stress induced chlorosis and wilting in plants, thu
