Title: Physiological Parameters and Transcriptomic Levels Reveal the Response Mechanism of Maize to Deep Sowing and the Mechanism of Exogenous MeJA to Alleviate Deep Sowing Stress. Author: Wang F, Feng Z, Yang X, Zhou G, Peng Y. Journal: Int J Mol Sci; 2024 Oct 05; 25(19):. PubMed ID: 39409045. Abstract: Deep sowing, as a method to mitigate drought and preserve soil moisture and seedlings, can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of drought stress on seedling growth. The elongation of the hypocotyl plays an important role in the emergence of maize seeds from deep-sowing stress. This study was designed to explore the function of exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in the growth of the maize mesocotyl and to examine its regulatory network. The results showed that the addition of a 1.5 μ mol L-1 MeJA treatment significantly increased the mesocotyl length (MES), mesocotyl and coleoptile length (MESCOL), and seedling length (SDL) of maize seedlings. Transcriptome analysis showed that exogenous MeJA can alleviate maize deep-sowing stress, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) mainly include ornithine decarboxylase, terpene synthase 7, ethylene responsive transcription factor 11, and so on. In addition, candidate genes that may regulate the length of maize hypocotyls were screened by Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA). These genes may be involved in the growth of maize hypocotyls through transcriptional regulation, histones, ubiquitin protease, protein binding, and chlorophyll biosynthesis and play an important role in maize deep-sowing tolerance. Our research findings may provide a theoretical basis for determining the tolerance of maize to deep-sowing stress and the mechanism of exogenous hormone regulation of deep-sowing stress.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
