Transcriptional Responses in Root Tissue of Bread Wheat Landrace under Drought Condition
In this study, a selected drought-tolerant wheat landrace, “L-82”, along with a commercial drought-sensitive bread wheat cultivar, “Marvdasht”, were exposed to drought stress conditions to characterize the differentially expressed transcripts. The plants were exposed to drought stress after late heading growth stage and root samples were collected three weeks after the drought treatment. A comprehensive evaluation was done for both conditions and both genotypes based on the gene expression profiles of root tissues. Finally, these differentially expressed genes and activated pathways in response to drought stress were discussed
