Analysis of Whole-Transcriptome RNA-Seq Data Reveals the Involvement of Alternative Splicing in the Drought Response of Glycyrrhiza uralensis.

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing (AS) is a post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that increases protein diversity. There is growing evidence that AS plays an important role in regulating plant stress responses. However, the mechanism by which AS coordinates with transcriptional regulation to regulate the drought response in Glycyrrhiza uralensis remains unclear. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of AS events in G. uralensis at different time points under drought stress using a high-throughput RNA sequencing approach. We detected 2,479 and 2,764 AS events in the aerial parts (AP) and underground parts (UP), respectively, of drought-stressed G. uralensis. Of these, last exon AS and exon skipping were the main types of AS. Overall, 2,653 genes undergoing signific
