Comparative transcriptome analysis in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under drought stress

The aim of this study was to identify drought stress-related genes in Triticum aestivum in their responses to different drought stress conditions. The most promising drought stress tolerant and non-tolerant wheat varieties were selected based on the physiological data from our screening. In this research Atay, Gerek and Mufitbey varieties were used. RNA-Seq was performed using tolerant and non-tolerant wheat cultivars to identify differentially expressed transcripts under different drought stress conditions.
