Exogenous superoxide dismutase mitigates cell damage in drought-sensitive peanuts
“Exogenous superoxide dismutase mitigates cell damage in drought-sensitive peanuts”, Genetics and Molecular Research, vol. 22, no. 3, 2023.
, Gene expression related to drought response in the leaf tissues of two Brazilian upland cultivars, the drought-tolerant Douradão and the drought-sensitive Primavera, was analyzed. RNA-seq identified 27,618 transcripts in the Douradão cultivar, with 24,090 (87.2%) homologous to the rice database, and 27,221 transcripts in the Primavera cultivar, with 23,663 (86.9%) homologous to the rice database. Gene-expression analysis between control and water-deficient treatments revealed 493 and 1154 differentially expressed genes in Douradão and Primavera cultivars, respectively.
