Transcriptome of peanut kernel and shell reveals the mechanism of calcium on peanut pod development.

ABSTRACT: Calcium is not only a nutrient necessary for plant growth but also a ubiquitous central element of different signaling pathways. Ca²⁺ deficiency in soil may cause embryo abortion, which can eventually lead to abnormal development of peanut pods during the harvest season. To further study the mechanisms by which Ca²⁺ affects the shells and kernels of peanuts, transcriptome sequencing was used to explore the genes differentially expressed in shells and kernels during the early stage of peanut pod development between Ca²⁺ sufficient and deficient treatments. In this study, 38,894 expressed genes were detected. RNA-seq based gene expression profiling showed a large number of genes at the transcriptional level that changed significantly in shells and kernels bet
