Combined full-length transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis reveals the regulatory mechanisms of adaptation to salt stress in asparagus.

ABSTRACT: Soil salinity is a very serious abiotic stressor that affects plant growth and threatens crop yield. Thus, it is important to explore the mechanisms of salt tolerance of plant and then to stabilize and improve crop yield. Asparagus is an important cash crop, but its salt tolerance mechanisms are largely unknown. Full-length transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were performed on two asparagus genotypes: 'jx1502' (a salt-tolerant genotype) and 'gold crown' (a salt-sensitive genotype). Compared with the distilled water treatment (control), 877 and 1610 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in 'jx1502' and 'gold crown' under salt stress treatment, respectively, and 135 and 73 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were identified in 'jx1502' and 'gold crown' under sal
