Physiological and transcriptome analysis of He-Ne laser pretreated wheat seedlings in response to drought stress.

ABSTRACT: Drought stress is a serious problem worldwide that reduces crop productivity. The laser has been shown to play a positive physiological role in enhancing plant seedlings tolerance to various abiotic stresses. However, little information is available about the molecular mechanism of He-Ne laser irradiation induced physiological changes for wheat adapting to drought conditions. Here, we performed a large-scale transcriptome sequencing to determine the molecular roles of He-Ne laser pretreated wheat seedlings under drought stress. There were 98.822 transcripts identified, and, among them, 820 transcripts were found to be differentially expressed in He-Ne laser pretreated wheat seedlings under drought stress compared with drought stress alone. Furthermore, most representative transcripts relat
