High transcriptome plasticity drives phosphate starvation responses in tomato

Abstract Tomato is an important vegetable crop and fluctuating available soil phosphate (Pi) level elicits several morpho-physiological responses driven by underlying molecular responses. Therefore, understanding these at the gene isoform levels has become critical in quest for developing crops with improved Pi use efficiency. A quantitative time-series RNA-seq analysis was performed to decipher global transcriptomic changes that accompany starvation tomato. Apart from expression of genes, there were also alterations alternatively-spliced transcripts. Physiological such as anthocyanin accumulation, reactive oxygen species generation cell death are obvious 7 days after deprivation accompanied maximum amount transcriptional change genome making it stage in-depth study while studying stress (PSR). Our demonstrates under deficiency dynamic complex Overall, our dwells on dynamism transcriptome eliciting a response adapt low lays bare. Findings this will prove be invaluable resource researchers using tomato model nutrient deficiency.
