Abstract:Molecular responses to drought stress have been mainly studied in deciduous tree species although conifers dominate boreal forests. Here, we analysed the transcriptional response of Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. needles after exposure to severe drought by quantitative RNA-sequencing. In total, 2,402 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, of which 1,186 were up- and 1,216 downregulated. The upregulated DEGs are mainly involved in responses to stress, nitrogen compound, water deprivation, and abscis… Show more
