A comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals a coordinated mechanism activated in response to cold acclimation in common vetch (Vicia sativa L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to its strong abiotic stress tolerance, common vetch is widely cultivated as a green manure and forage crop in grass and crop rotation systems. The comprehensive molecular mechanisms activated in common vetch during cold adaptation remain unknown.

Results

We investigated physiological responses and transcriptome profiles of cold-sensitive (Lanjian No. 1) and cold-tolerant (Lanjian No. 3) cultivars during cold acclimation to explore the molecular mechanisms of cold acclimation. In total, 2681 and 2352 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in Lanjian No. 1 and Lanjian No. 3, respectively; 7532 DEGs were identified in both lines. DEGs involved in "plant hormone signal transduction" were significantly enriched during cold treatment, and 115 DEGs in
