Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal That Fullerol Improves Drought Tolerance in Brassica napus L.

ABSTRACT: Carbon nanoparticles have potential threats to plant growth and stress tolerance. The polyhydroxy fullerene-fullerol (one of the carbon nanoparticles) could increase biomass accumulation in several plants subjected to drought; however, the underlying molecular and metabolic mechanisms governed by fullerol in improving drought tolerance in Brassica napus remain unclear. In the present study, exogenous fullerol was applied to the leaves of B. napus seedlings under drought conditions. The results of transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed changes in the molecular and metabolic profiles of B. napus. The differentially expressed genes and the differentially accumulated metabolites, induced by drought or fullerol treatment, were mainly enriched in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Gen
