Key Points

This research aims to uncover the transcriptional responses and regulatory networks in rapeseed under heat stress.
Conducted genome-wide transcriptional analysis using RNA-Seq data
Performed a meta-analysis to integrate findings across studies
Analyzed gene co-expression and constructed gene regulatory networks
Identified key regulatory mechanisms involved in heat stress responses
Revealed co-expressed gene clusters that contribute to adaptive responses
Provided molecular targets for developing heat-tolerant rapeseed varieties

Implication

Meta-analysis reveals gene co-expression and regulatory networks in rapeseed under heat stress, suggesting new targets for improved tolerance.

Abstract

Our results illuminate the key regulatory mechanisms and co‑expressed gene clusters that orchestrate adaptive response of rapeseed to heat, offering valuable molecular targets for the development of varieties with improved tolerance to heat stress conditions.
