Background Amorpha fruticosa L. is a deciduous shrub that is native to North America and has been introduced to China as an ornamental plant. In order to clarify the drought resistance characteristics of Amorpha fruticosa L. and excavate the related genes involved in drought resistance regulation pathway, the mechanism of drought resistance stress of Amorpha fruticosa L. was revealed by the changes of transcriptome of Amorpha fruticosa L. under drought stress.Through the changes of the transcriptome of Amorpha fruticosa L. under drought stress, the mechanism of anti-stress of Amorpha fruticosa L. could be revealed. Methods Different concentrations of polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG-6000) was used to simulate drought stress, and transcriptomic analysis was used to reveal the changes of gene expression patterns in Amorpha fruticosa L. seedlings. Results Results showed that Amorpha fruticosa L. seedlings were seriously affected by PEG-6000. As for the differently expressed genes (DEGs), most of them were up-regulated. The additional Go and KEGG analysis results showed that DEGs were functionally enriched in cell wall, signal transduction and hormonal regulation related pathways. DEGs like AfSOD, AfHSP, AfTGA, AfbZIP and AfGRX play roles in response to drought stress. Conclusion In conclusion, Amorpha fruticosa L. seedlings were sensitive to drought, which was different from Amorpha fruticosa L. tree, and the genes functions in drought stress responses via ABA-independent pathways. The up-regulation of Salicylic acid signal related DEGs (AfTGA and AfPR-1) indicated that Salicylic acid play a key role in response to drought stress in Amorpha fruticosa L.

The up-regulation of Salicylic acid signal related DEGs (AfTGA and AfPR-1) indicated that Amorpha fruticosa can resist drought stress through Salicylic acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
