Comparative Analysis of Transcriptomes of Diploid and Tetraploid Miscanthus lutarioriparius under Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: Miscanthus lutarioriparius is a species of bioenergy crop unique to China. It is widely distributed in the south of China with high resistance to drought and salt stress. To date, the molecular mechanism of the adaption to drought stress in M. lutarioriparius is little known. In this study, RNA-seq technology was employed to analyze the transcriptome changes of diploid and tetraploid M. lutarioriparius after drought treatment. It was found that the number of differentially expressed genes in diploid M. lutarioriparius was much higher than tetraploid, whereas the tetraploid M. lutarioriparius may require fewer transcriptional changes. While the transcriptional changes in drought-tolerant tetraploid M. lutarioriparius are less than that of diploid, m
