Transcriptome Profile Reveals Drought-Induced Genes Preferentially Expressed in Response to Water Deficit in Cultivated Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.).

ABSTRACT: Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is one of the most widely grown food legumes in the world, being valued for its high protein and unsaturated oil contents. Drought stress is one of the major constraints that limit peanut production. This study's objective was to identify the drought-responsive genes preferentially expressed under drought stress in different peanut genotypes. To accomplish this, four genotypes (drought tolerant: C76-16 and 587; drought susceptible: Tifrunner and 506) subjected to drought stress in a rainout shelter experiment were examined. Transcriptome sequencing analysis identified that all four genotypes shared a total of 2,457 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A total of 139 enriched gene ontology terms consisting of 86 biological processes and 53 molec
