Integrated Analysis of Coding and Non-coding RNAs Reveals the Molecular Mechanism Underlying Salt Stress Response in Medicago truncatula.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress is among the most severe abiotic stresses in plants worldwide. Medicago truncatula is a model plant for legumes and analysis of its response to salt stress is helpful for providing valuable insights into breeding. However, few studies have focused on illustrating the whole-transcriptome molecular mechanism underlying salt stress response in Medicago truncatula. Herein, we sampled the leaves of Medicago truncatula treated with water or NaCl and analyzed the characteristics of its coding and non-coding RNAs. We identified a total of 4,693 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), 505 DElncRNAs, 21 DEcircRNAs, and 55 DEmiRNAs. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses revealed that their functions were mostly associa
