Transcriptomic response of in vitro potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to piezoelectric ultrasound

As part of a wider project to assess the impact of ultrasound on in vitro plant growth, this paper aimed to determine whether the application of piezoelectric ultrasound (PE-US) would induce changes to the transcriptome of in vitro potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). After exposing explants (single-node segments with a single leaf) to PE-US (35 kHz; 70 W) for 20 min, the effect of this stressor was determined at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, 1 w and 4 w to assess the possible immediate and residual effects of PE-US on the potato transcriptome.

本研究作为评估超声对离体植物生长影响的整体项目的一部分，旨在探究压电超声（piezoelectric ultrasound, PE-US）处理是否会诱导离体马铃薯（Solanum tuberosum L.）的转录组发生变化。将带单叶的单节段外植体置于35 kHz、70 W的压电超声环境中处理20分钟后，分别在0小时、24小时、48小时、1周及4周时检测该胁迫因子的作用效果，以评估压电超声对马铃薯转录组可能产生的即时效应与残留效应。
