Rice Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Nitrogen Starvation Modulates Differential Alternative Splicing and Transcript Usage in Various Metabolism-Related Genes.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) is crucial for plant growth and development; however, excessive use of N fertilizers cause many problems including environmental damage, degradation of soil fertility, and high cost to the farmers. Therefore, immediate implementation is required to develop N efficient crop varieties. Rice being low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and a high demand staple food across the world has become a favorite crop to study the NUE trait. In the current study, we used the publicly available transcriptome data generated from the root and shoot tissues of two rice genotypes IR-64 and Nagina-22 (N-22) under optimum N supply (N⁺) and chronic N-starvation (N^-). A stringent pipeline was applied to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs), alternatively spliced (DAS) genes
