Transcriptome analysis of differentially expressed genes in lily leaves under selenite application.

ABSTRACT: Selenium (Se), an essential trace element for human health, is acquired primarily through the consumption of Se-enriched foods. Lily (Lilium lancifolium Thunb.) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant that efficiently assimilates selenite through foliar uptake. This investigation elucidates the phytophysiological responses and molecular regulatory networks underlying selenite metabolism in lilies through comprehensive transcriptomic characterization. The experimental treatments consisted of graded selenite concentrations (0-8.0 mmol/L), revealing 2.0 mmol/L as the optimal concentration for enhancing biomass production and osmoprotectant accumulation. High-throughput RNA sequencing generated 59.38 Gb of clean data, yielding 76,814 functionally annotated unigenes. GO analysis revealed that
