Transcriptomic Analysis of Seed Germination Under Salt Stress in Two Desert Sister Species (Populus euphratica and P. pruinosa).

ABSTRACT: As a major abiotic stress, soil salinity limits seed germination and plant growth, development and production. Seed germination is highly related not only to the seedlings survival rate but also subsequent vegetative growth. Populus euphratica and P. pruinosa are closely related species that show a distinguished adaptability to salinity stress. In this study, we performed an integrative transcriptome analyses of three seed germination phases from P. euphratica and P. pruinosa under salt stress. A two-dimensional data set of this study provides a comprehensive view of the dynamic biochemical processes that underpin seed germination and salt tolerance. Our analysis identified 12831 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for seed germination processes and 8071 DEGs
