Comparative transcriptome analysis of two contrasting pigeonpea genotypes during salt stress
The present study was conducted to explore and understand the basic molecular mechanism underlying the salt stress tolerance in pigeonpea plant through a comparative transcriptome analysis of control and salt-treated shoot tissues. Using two contrasting pigeonpea genotypes; salt-tolerant ICP14104 and salt-sensitive ICP12017, this investigation provides insights into gene regulation and expression dynamics under high salt concentrations. The comprehensive analysis has identified key genes that may confer salt tolerance in the ICP14104 genotype, contributing to a deeper understanding of stress adaptation mechanisms in pigeonpea.
