Transcriptome Analysis of Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. Provides Insight Into Heat Stress Responses.

ABSTRACT: Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., being widely grown in dry and hot weather, frequently encounters heat stress at various stages of growth. The crop, due to its inherent capacity, efficiently overcomes such stress during vegetative stages. However, the same is not always the case with the terminal (flowering through grain filling) stages of growth, where recovery from stress is more challenging. However, certain pearl millet genotypes such as 841-B are known to overcome heat stress even at the terminal growth stages. Therefore, we performed RNA sequencing of two contrasting genotypes of pearl millet (841-B and PPMI-69) subjected to heat stress (42°C for 6 h) at flowering stages. Over 274 million high quality reads with an average length of 150 nt were generated, which were assembled i
