Overview

Transcriptome analysis reveals flooding-tolerant pathways in eastern cottonwood cultivars, suggesting potential for enhanced forestry practices.

Key Points

  • The study aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that enable flooding tolerance in eastern cottonwood cultivars.
  • Conducted long-term growth surveys and transcriptome sequencing.
  • Analyzed phenotypic traits and molecular responses of cultivars HBI and CL to flooding stress.
  • Identified and compared differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in flooded plants.
  • HBI exhibited a survival rate of 73.91% after 7 years of flooding, outperforming CL in height and diameter.
  • Identified 1098 shared DEGs in HBI and CL, enriched in pathways related to stress response and energy metabolism.
  • HBI-specific genes showed enrichment in growth regulation and photosynthesis, highlighting its flooding tolerance mechanisms.
