Whole transcriptome analysis of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.) under osmotic stress

Trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.) is a conventional citrus rootstock, and its resistance to abiotic stress is critical to citriculture. By using high-throughput RNA sequencing, this study unfolded the whole transcriptome expression profile of trifoliate orange seedlings under osmotic stress (-1.56 MPa) mediated by polyethylene glycol. Based on the morphologic observation and physiological measurements, the seedlings were …
