Comparative physiological and transcriptomic analyses identify computationally predicted key genes and regulatory pathways in non-heading Chinese cabbage under heat stress
Our findings suggest that protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, photosynthesis, and plant hormone signaling are crucial for "SHI"'s response to heat stress and some candidate genes such as MYB-related, HSP20 and DBB were identified. We validated our results with qRT-PCR, reinforcing the reliability of our data. These insights deepen our understanding of the physiological and molecular bases of NHCC heat tolerance and identify key genes for further molecular investigation.
