Transcriptomic responses to phosphate limitation in maize lines with different breeding history

Plants cope with low phosphorus availability by adjusting growth and metabolism through transcriptomic adaptations. We hypothesize that selected genotypes with distinct P use efficiency covering the breeding history of European heterotic pool allow us to reveal general and genotype-specific molecular responses correlated with low phosphate induced traits. Overall design: Nine pre-selected genotypes were cultured under high P and low P conditions. 3 replicates of roots samples were sequenced in each genotype and P treatment. Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for each genotype between high P and low P treatments. Pleaese note that the records have been updated with additional samples on May 4, 2022.
