Cold stress Transcriptome of Acer rubrum

The transcriptomic analysis of Acer rubrum (Red Maple) under cold stress, which induces anthocyanin accumulation in the leaves, aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying this physiological response. Anthocyanins, known for their role in stress adaptation and antioxidative properties, accumulate in plant tissues as a protective response to various environmental stresses, including cold temperatures. Understanding the transcriptomic changes in Acer rubrum during cold stress and anthocyanin accumulation can provide insights into the regulatory pathways and key genes involved in this process. This knowledge is valuable for advancing our understanding of plant stress responses and molecular physiology and has practical implications for enhancing the cold tolerance of ornamental and crop plants, contributing to agricultural sustainability and climate resilience.
