Comparative Transcriptome Profiling of Two Tomato Genotypes in Response to Potassium-Deficiency Stress.

Abstract excerpt

Tomato is a crop that requires a sufficient supply of potassium (K) for optimal productivity and quality. K⁺-deficiency stress decreases tomato yield and quality. To further delve into the mechanism of the response to K⁺-deficiency and to screen out low-K⁺ tolerant genes in tomatoes, BGISEQ-500-based RNA sequencing was performed using two tomato genotypes (low-K⁺ tolerant JZ34 and low-K⁺ sensitive JZ18). We...
