Transcriptomic response of banana roots to iron deficiency and iron excess

This study aims to elucidate the transcriptome profile of banana roots challenged with both iron deficiency and excess under hydroponic conditions for three days. The data would provide insight into: 1) The genes differentially regulated under the above-mentioned iron stresses at a 3 day time point. 2) The strategy followed by banana, a non-graminaceous monocot, for iron acquisition from the rhizosphere. The work would aid in selecting the most appropriate candidate genes towards implementation in future studies concerning iron biofortification of this economically important food crop.本研究旨在阐明水培条件下经3天缺铁与铁过量双重胁迫的香蕉根系转录组谱（transcriptome profile）。该数据将为以下方向提供研究洞见：1）3天时间节点下上述铁胁迫条件下的差异调控基因；2）作为非禾本科单子叶植物的香蕉从根际获取铁元素的策略。本研究将助力筛选适宜的候选基因，为后续针对这一具有重要经济价值的粮食作物的铁生物强化相关研究提供支撑。
