Physiological, Biochemical and Transcriptomic Analysis of the Aerial Parts (Leaf-Blade and Petiole) of Asarum sieboldii Responding to Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: Asarum sieboldii Miq. is a leading economic crop and a traditional medicinal herb in China. Leaf-blade and petiole are the only aerial tissues of A. sieboldii during the vegetative growth, playing a vital role in the accumulation and transportation of biomass energy. They also act as critical indicators of drought in agricultural management, especially for crops having underground stems. During drought, variations in the morphology and gene expression of the leaves and petioles are used to control agricultural irrigation and production. Besides, such stress can also alter the differential gene expression in these tissues. However, little is known about the drought-tolerant character of the aerial parts of A. sieboldii. In this study, we examined the physiological, biochemical and transcrip
