Global analysis of differentially expressed genes between two Japonica rice varieties induced by low temperature during the booting stage by RNA-Seq.

ABSTRACT: As one of the abiotic stresses, low temperature severely threatens rice production during its entire growth period, especially during the booting stage. In the present study, transcriptome analysis was performed comparing Longjing (LJ) 25 (chilling-tolerant) and LJ 11 (chilling-sensitive) rice varieties to identify genes associated with chilling tolerance in rice spikelets. A total of 23 845 expressed genes and 13 205 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses revealed 'response to cold' (containing 180 DEGs) as the only category enriched in both varieties during the entire cold treatment period. Through MapMan analysis, we identified nine and six DEGs related to the Calvin cycle and antioxidant enzymes, respectively, includi
