Global transcriptome and coexpression network analyses reveal cultivar-specific molecular signatures associated with different rooting depth responses to drought stress in potato.

ABSTRACT: Potato is one of the most important vegetable crops worldwide. Its growth, development and ultimately yield is hindered by drought stress condition. Breeding and selection of deep-rooted and drought-tolerant potato varieties has become a prime approach for improving the yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in arid and semiarid areas. A comprehensive understanding of root development-related genes has enabled scientists to formulate strategies to incorporate them into breeding to improve complex agronomic traits and provide opportunities for the development of stress tolerant germplasm. Root response to drought stress is an intricate process regulated through complex transcriptional regulatory network. To understand the rooting depth and molecular mechanism, regulating
