RNA-Seq uncovers endogenous NO-induced hormone signal transduction and carbon metabolism in response to PEG stress in alfalfa
In summary, our study innovatively proposes a mechanism model of how endogenous NO enhances alfalfa tolerance to water deficiency at the physiological and molecular levels. The novel candidate genes can give genetic resources for the subsequent molecular-assisted breeding of drought-resistant alfalfa crops.
