Transcriptional analysis of Rhazya stricta in response to jasmonic acid

Jasmonic acid (JA) is a signal transducer molecule that plays an important role in plant development and stress response; it can also efficiently stimulate secondary metabolism cells. RNA-Seq technology was applied to identify differentially expressed genes study the time course of gene expression Rhazya stricta response JA. Of more than 288 million total reads, approximately 27% were mapped reference genome. Genes involved during metabolite pathways up- or downregulated when treated with JA R. stricta. Functional annotation pathway analysis all identified many biological processes molecular functions. biosynthetic, cell wall organization, chlorophyll metabolic upregulated at days 2, 6, 12, respectively. Similarly, functions calcium-transporting ATPase activity, ADP binding, protein kinase activity Time-dependent transcriptional showed induce signaling phenylpropanoid aromatic pathways. These are responsible for production metabolites, which essential environmental defense mechanism conditions. Our results suggested flavonoid biosynthesis synthesis stress. However, monoterpenoid indole alkaloid (MIA) unaffected by treatment. Hence, we postulate How cite: Hajrah, NH, Rabah SO, Alghamdi MK, et al. Transcriptional jasmonic acid.
