Transcriptome analysis of halophyte Nitraria tangutorum reveals multiple mechanisms to enhance salt resistance.

ABSTRACT: As a typical halophyte, Nitraria tangutorum Bobr. has attracted the interest of many researchers with the excellent salt tolerance. Elucidation of the mechanism of N. tangutorum salinity tolerance will facilitate the genetic improvement of productive plants faced with salinity. To reveal the molecular response to gradually accumulated salt stress in N. tangutorum, RNA-sequencing and analysis of gradually accumulated NaCl treated samples and control samples were performed, and a total of 1419 differentially expressed genes were identified, including 949 down-regulated genes and 470 up-regulated genes. Detailed analysis uncovered that the catabolism of organic compounds mainly based on oxidative phosphorylation genes was up-regulated. Additionally, various antioxidant genes, especially antho
