Transcriptome sequencing revealed the mechanism of promoting floret opening by exogenous methyl jasmonate in sorghum.

ABSTRACT: Flowering time is a critical trait reflecting the adaptation of plants to their environments. Our initial research has shown that exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) significantly promoted the floret opening of sorghum. To better understand the mechanism of this phenomenon in sorghum, the comparative transcriptome analysis was performed. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the most number of differentially expressed genes was presented between control plants and plants treated with 2.0 mM exogenous MeJA in 2.5 h. A large number of differentially expressed genes were assigned to the subcategory of carbohydrate metabolism and lipid metabolism. The transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed genes involved in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and tricarboxylic acid cycle indicated a close rela
