Comprehensive analysis of morphology, transcriptomics, and metabolomics of banana (<i>Musa</i> spp.) molecular mechanisms related to plant height.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Plant height is an important agronomic trait that not only affects crop yield but is also related to crop resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses.

Methods

In this study, we analyzed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) between Brazilian banana and local dwarf banana (Df19) through transcriptomics and metabolomics, and combined morphological differences and endogenous hormone content to analyze and discuss themolecular mechanisms controlling banana height.

Results

Sequencing data showed that a total of 2851 DEGs and 1037 DAMs were detected between Brazilian banana and local dwarf banana (Df19). The main differential biological pathways of DEGs involve plant hormone signaling transduction, Cutin, sube
