Whole Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Drought Resistance-Related Genes in Upland Cotton.

ABSTRACT: China, particularly the cotton-growing province of Xinjiang, is experiencing acute agricultural water shortages, stifling the expansion of the cotton sector. Discovering drought resistance genes in cotton and generating high-quality, drought-resistant cotton varieties through molecular breeding procedures are therefore critical to the cotton industry's success. The drought-resistant cotton variety Xinluzhong No. 82 and the drought-sensitive cotton variety Kexin No. 1 were utilised in this study to uncover a batch of drought-resistant candidate genes using whole transcriptome sequencing. The following are the key research findings: A competing endogenous RNA network (ceRNA) was built using complete transcriptional sequencing to screen the core genes in the core pathway, and two droug
