Zea mays Transcriptome or Gene expression

ABSTRACT: In this study a transcriptomic approach (RNA-sequencing) was utilized to elucidate molecular responses of maize (Zea mays L.) primary roots of the inbred line B73 to water deficit to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying drought tolerance. Kernels of the maize inbred line B73 were germinated in paper rolls soaked with distilled water until seedlings had a primary root length of 2 to 4 cm. For mild and severe water deficit conditions, seedlings were transferred to PEG8000 solution with water potentials of -0.2 MPa and -0.8 MPa, respectively. Water deficit treatment was applied for 6 h and 24 h. Each treatment was performed in four biological replicates each consisting of 10 roots.
