Comparative transcriptome analysis of two selenium-accumulating genotypes of Aegilops tauschii Coss. in response to selenium.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Selenium (Se), an essential micronutrient in both animals and humans, has various biological functions, and its deficiency can lead to various diseases. The most common method for increasing Se uptake is the consumption of Se-rich plants, which transform inorganic Se into organic forms. Wheat is eaten daily by many people. The Se content of Aegilops tauschii (Ae. tauschii), one of the ancestors of hexaploid common wheat, is generally higher than that of wheat. In this study, two genotypes of Ae. tauschii with contrasting Se-accumulating abilities were subjected to different Se treatments followed by high-throughput transcriptome sequencing.

Results

Sequencing of 12 transcriptome libraries of Ae. tauschii grown under different Se treatments produced about a total o
