Abstract:

Drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting production in the agricultural sector. Due to the need to use smart agriculture adapted to climate change, the use of drought-tolerant alternative plants with high water use efficiency is of great importance. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is one of the important drought tolerant fodder and food grains in semi-arid regions. In this study, drought stress associated QTLs were collected and located on the integrated genetic map of millet chromosomes. From a total of eight studies, 386 QTLs associated with yield controlling traits including plant height, water use efficiency, plant biomass, root length and panicle length were collected in foxtail millet. Under drought stress and normal irrigation conditions, 96 and 287 QTLs were collected and projected on the reference consensus genetic map, respectively. The meta-analysis of QTLs was conducted using BioMercator software V4.2. A total of 32 meta-QTLs (MQTLs) were detected on 9 foxtail millet chromosomes with a confidence interval of 3.4 times lower than the average of the original QTLs. In order to investigate the pattern of gene expression in the MQTL regions, available microarray and RNA-seq data sets in the databases were analyzed. Based on the achieved results, 95 and 2172 differentially expressed genes with at drought conditions were identified in 4 MQTLs with a CI of less than 1 Mbp and in all MQTL regions, respectively. Also, eight key genes were identified by the hub analysis which belonged to transcription factors and regulatory elements. We hope that the results of this study would be useful for marker assisted selection (MAS) and foxtail millet breeding programs with the aim of development of new high yielding drought-tolerant genotypes.

Physiological and molecular characterization of drought responses and identification of candidate tolerance genes in cassava

Cassava is an important root crop to resource-poor farmers in marginal areas, where its production faces drought stress constraints. Given the difficulties associated with cassava breeding, a molecular understanding of drought tolerance in cassava will help in the identification of markers for use in marker-assisted selection and genes for transgenic improvement of drought tolerance. This study...

Identification of Candidate Growth Promoting Genes in Ovarian Cancer through Integrated Copy Number and Expression Analysis

Ovarian cancer is a disease characterised by complex genomic rearrangements but the majority of the genes that are the target of these alterations remain unidentified. Cataloguing these target genes will provide useful insights into the disease etiology and may provide an opportunity to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. High resolution genome wide copy number and matching ...

Identification and evaluation of HvPIP1; 4 and HvnsLTP genes expression for drought tolerance in barley

It is of great significance to understand the tolerance mechanisms by which plants deal with drought stress and application of these mechanisms for improvement of genotypes in response to drought stress. In order to identify and investigate the expression of genes involved in tolerance to drought stress, leaf and root EST were analyzed in Spontaneum (wild barley) and Nimruz (tolernt to drought ...
