Transcriptome Profiling of Gossypium anomalum Seedlings Reveals Key Regulators and Metabolic Pathways in Response to Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: Drought stress is a key limiting factor for cotton (Gossypium spp.) growth, production, development, and production worldwide. Some wild diploid cotton species are remarkably tolerant of water deficit and constitute an important reservoir for understanding the molecular mechanisms of Gossypium spp. drought tolerance and improving cultivated upland cotton. Here, we utilized RNA-Seq technology to characterize the leaf transcriptomes of a wild African diploid cotton species, Gossypium anomalum, under drought stress. A total of 12,322 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified after mapping valid clean reads to the reference genome of G. anomalum, of which 1243 were commonly differentially expressed at all stages of drought stress. These genes were signif
