Comparative transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveal key regulatory defense networks and genes involved in enhanced salt tolerance of Actinidia (kiwifruit)

ABSTRACT: Abstract The Actinidia (kiwifruit) is an emerging fruit plant that is severely affected by salt stress in northern China. Plants have evolved several signaling network mechanisms to cope with the detrimental effects of salt stress. To date, no reported work is available on metabolic and molecular mechanisms involved in kiwifruit salt tolerance. Therefore, the present study aims to decipher intricate adaptive responses of two contrasting salt tolerance kiwifruit species Actinidia valvata [ZMH (an important genotype), hereafter referred to as R] and Actinidia deliciosa [‘Hayward’ (an important green-fleshed cultivar), hereafter referred to as H] under 0.4% (w/w) salt stress for time courses of 0, 12, 24, and 72 hours (hereafter refered to as h) by combined transcriptome and metabolome analys
