Transcriptome profiling of two rice genotypes under mild field drought stress during grain-filling stage.

ABSTRACT: Drought is one of the most critical abiotic stresses that threaten crop production worldwide. This stress affects the rice crop in all stages of rice development; however, the occurrence during reproductive and grain-filling stages has the most impact on grain yield. Although many global transcriptomic studies have been performed during the reproductive stage in rice, very limited information is available for the grain-filling stage. Hence, we intend to investigate how the rice plant responds to drought stress during the grain-filling stage and how the responses change over time under field conditions. Two rice genotypes were selected for RNA-seq analysis: '4610', previously reported as a moderately tolerant breeding line, and Rondo, an elite indica rice cultivar susceptible to drou
