Transcriptomic insights into the synergistic effects of darkness and mechanical stimulation on peanut pod development.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peanuts are important oil crop with an atypical fruitification pattern. Darkness and mechanical stimulation are required to facilitate normal pod development. Despite some progress in understanding peanut pod development and its response to external environmental stimulation, numerous unresolved questions and knowledge gaps remain regarding the role of darkness and mechanical stimulation in this complex process.

Results

In this study, we investigated the impacts of dark and mechanical stimulation on peanut pod development via transcriptome. A total of 55,087 genes, along with a series of DEGs and pathways, were identified among different treatment groups (CK, TB, TML, and TMB) that play crucial roles and offer a novel perspective on the role of photosynthesis duri
