Comparative Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Potential Candidate Genes, Transcription Factors, and Biosynthetic Pathways for Phosphite Response in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted with C31 and C80 genotypes of the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), which are tolerant and susceptible to phosphite (Phi, H₂PO₃), respectively. To decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying tolerance and susceptibility to Phi in the potato, RNA sequencing was used to study the global transcriptional patterns of the two genotypes. Media were prepared with 0.25 and 0.50 mM Phi, No-phosphorus (P), and 1.25 mM (phosphate, Pi as control). The values of fragments per kilobase of exon per million mapped fragments of the samples were also subjected to a principal component analysis, grouping the biological replicates of each sample. Using stringent criteria, a minimum of 819 differential (DEGs) were detected in both C80-Phi-0.25_vs_C80-Phi-0.50 (
