Heat stress responsive genes in wheat
Transcriptome sequencing reveals how wheat responds to elevated temperatures, helping researchers understand yield loss under climate stress.
Study overview
Researchers compared transcriptomes of wheat plants exposed to control temperature (22°C) and heat stress (42°C for 2 hours) during the flowering stage.
Key findings
- 716 transcripts upregulated under heat stress
- 809 transcripts downregulated
- Changes in metabolic and photosynthetic pathways
- Cell wall biosynthesis genes suppressed
Why RNA sequencing matters
