Transcriptome analysis of the impact of exogenous methyl jasmonate on the opening of sorghum florets.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) could promote the opening of sorghum florets, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear.

Objective

We aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of exogenous MeJA in promoting the opening of sorghum florets.

Methods

Hybrid sorghum Aikang-8 was selected as the test material in this study. Sorghum plants of uniform growth with approximately 20%-25% florets open were selected and treated with 0, 0.5 and 2.0 mmol/L of MeJA. Totally there were 27 samples with lodicules removed were obtained at different time points and used for the transcriptome analysis using the BGISEQ_500RS platform.

Results

The results showed the sorghum florets opened earlier than the control after the treatment with exogenous MeJA, and the promotive effec
