Exploration of the Mechanism by Which Bacterial Volatiles Alleviate Salt Stress in Cucumber
Taking the "bacterial volatiles - cucumber - salt stress" interaction system as the research object and relying on transcriptomics and metabolomics technologies, this study sets the core objectives as follows: By comparing the data of cucumber leaves and roots among the salt stress group, bacterial volatiles + salt stress group, and control group, screen the differentially expressed genes and characteristic metabolites regulated by bacterial volatiles; establish a "gene - metabolite" regulatory network with the help of multi - omics correlation analysis, clarify the association chain of "gene expression - metabolic flux redistribution - physiological function improvement", and finally clarify the molecular - metabolic synergistic mechanism by which bacterial volatiles alleviate salt stress in cucumber, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the improvement of crop salt tolerance.
