Comparative transcriptome analysis between inbred lines and hybrids provides molecular insights into K+ content heterosis of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.).


ABSTRACT: Potassium (K+) is essential for crop growth. Increasing the K+ content can often directly promote the improvement of crop yield and quality. Heterosis plays an important role in genetic improvement and leads to genetic gains. We found that the K+ content of tobacco showed significant heterosis, which is highly significant for cultivating tobacco varieties with high K+ content. However, the mechanism by which K+ content heterosis occurs in tobacco leaves is not clear. In this study, a comprehensive comparative transcriptome sequencing analysis of root samples from the hybrid G70 × GDH11 and its parental inbred lines G70 and GDH11 was performed to elucidate the importance of the root uptake capacity of K+ in the formation of h
