    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Due to its strong abiotic stress tolerance, common vetch is widely cultivated as a green manure and forage crop in grass and crop rotation systems. The comprehensive molecular mechanisms activated in common vetch during cold adaptation remain unknown. RESULTS: We investigated physiological responses and transcriptome profiles of cold-sensitive (Lanjian No. 1) and cold-tolerant (Lanjian No. 3) cultivars during cold acclimation to explore the molecular mechanisms of cold acclimation. In total, 2681 and 2352 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in Lanjian No. 1 and Lanjian No. 3, respectively; 7532 DEGs were identified in both lines. DEGs involved in "plant hormone signal transduction" were significantly enriched during cold treatment, and 115 DEGs involved in cold-processed hormone signal transduction were identified. Common vetch increased the level of indoleacetic acid (IAA) by upregulating the transcriptional regulator Aux/IAA and downregulating GH3, endowing it with stronger cold tolerance. An auxin-related DEG was overexpressed in yeast and shown to possess a biological function conferring cold tolerance. CONCLUSION: This study identifies specific genes involved in Ca2+ signaling, redox regulation, circadian clock, plant hormones, and transcription factors whose transcriptional differentiation during cold acclimation may improve cold tolerance and contributes to the understanding of common and unique molecular mechanisms of cold acclimation in common vetch. The candidate genes identified here also provide valuable resources for further functional genomic and breeding studies.
