Comparative transcriptomics of atrazine-tolerant and sensitive alfalfa varieties under atrazine stress
The tolerant variety JN5010 shows improved tolerance to atrazine stress by maintaining stable gene expression and precise regulation in various pathways, such as antioxidant processes, signaling, photosynthesis, and toxin removal. This differential gene expression helps JN5010 maintain stability in its functions under stress, demonstrating better adaptability. These findings enhance our understanding of how alfalfa tolerates atrazine stress and provide important insights for developing atrazine-tolerant varieties.
