Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals phytohormone signalings, heat shock module and ROS scavenger mediate the cold-tolerance of rubber tree.

ABSTRACT: Two contrasting cold response rubber tree clones, the cold-resistant '93-114' and cold-sensitive 'Reken501', were subject to a global transcriptome response assessing via high-throughput RNA-seq technique and comprehensive bioinformatics analysis using the referenced rubber tree genome with the purpose of exploring the potential molecular cues underlying the tolerance of rubber trees to cold stress. As a result, a total of 1919 genes had significantly higher expression, while 2929 genes had significantly lower expression in '93-114' than in 'Reken501' without cold stress. Upon cold stress, the numbers of genes with significantly higher expression decreased to 1501 at 1 h treatment and to 1285 at 24 h treatment in '93-114' than that of 'Reken501', conversely, the numbers of genes with signi
