Comparative transcriptome analysis of two contrasting pigeon pea genotypes provides new insights into the drought response mechanism

The present study was conducted to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying drought tolerance mechanism in pigeon pea through a comparative transcriptome analysis under drought stress. For this, Cajanus cajan cultivars, CO1 and CO5 were selected to obtain a comprehensive idea about the dynamics of gene regulation and expression during drought in different species of pigeon pea and their innate adaptive features to tackle drought stress.

本研究旨在通过干旱胁迫下的比较转录组分析，解析木豆（pigeon pea）的耐旱性分子机制。为此，本研究选取了木豆（Cajanus cajan）的两个品种CO1与CO5，以期全面阐明干旱胁迫下不同木豆品种的基因调控与表达动态，以及其应对干旱胁迫的固有适应性特征。
