Dynamic transcriptome and metabolome analyses of two sweet corn lines under artificial aging treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Strong tolerance to seed aging is an important agricultural trait for sweet corn production. Previous studies have primarily focused on the QTLs for the seed vigor. However, there were few researches involving in the metabolome and transcriptome of artificial aging seeds.

Results

Using two inbred lines with significant differences in seed artificial aging tolerance, RNA sequencing and non-targeted metabolomic analysis were employed to extensively evaluate transcripts and metabolites in seeds that underwent artificial aging. Fourteen common transcripts and 16 common metabolites with sustained differential expression were identified in the two lines, suggesting their potential necessity in seed response to artificial aging. Enrichment analysis of differentially expr
