Understanding the Potential Gene Regulatory Network of Starch Biosynthesis in Tartary Buckwheat by RNA-Seq.

ABSTRACT: Starch is a major component of crop grains, and its content affects food quality and taste. Tartary buckwheat is a traditional pseudo-cereal used in food as well as medicine. Starch content, granule morphology, and physicochemical properties have been extensively studied in Tartary buckwheat. However, the complex regulatory network related to its starch biosynthesis needs to be elucidated. Here, we performed RNA-seq analyses using seven Tartary buckwheat varieties differing in starch content and combined the RNA-seq data with starch content by weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). As a result, 10,873 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and were functionally clustered to six hierarchical clusters. Fifteen starch biosynthesis genes had higher expression level in se
