Transcriptome and Physiological Analysis of Rootstock Types and Silicon Affecting Cold Tolerance of Cucumber Seedlings.

ABSTRACT: Cucumbers grafted on rootstocks with different de-blooming capacity show varying levels of cold tolerance. The content of fruit bloom correlates with its silicon-metabolizing capacity, and rootstock grafting can alter not only the cold tolerance but also the silicon-metabolizing capacity of the scion. The molecular mechanisms responsible for resistance due to rootstocks and silicon and the pathway that affects cold tolerance, however, remain poorly understood. Therefore, we performed physiological and transcriptome analysis to clarify how rootstock types and silicon affect cold tolerance in cucumber seedlings. Then, we randomly selected eight differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis to proof the reliability of the transcriptome data. The resul
