Abstract:

High-throughput sequencing technique was used to study gene expression in potato metabolic pathway to clarify the damage of potato under drought stress and the protective effects of rehydration on potato. The experiment was carried out by pot method, in which drought treatment (40% soil relative water content, DT) and drought control (keep soil relative water content 70% for 14 days, CK) were set up, and in which rehydration treatment (the relative soil water content was 40% after being maintained for 14 days and then recovered to 70% of soil relative water content, RT) and rehydration control (relative soil water content was maintained at 70% for 21 days, RCK) were set up, and the effects of drought stress and rehydration treatment on starch and sugar metabolism pathways of potato were studied. The DT and CK treatments showed significant changes in the expression of 655 genes, of which 13 genes related to starch and sucrose metabolism pathways, including nine up-regulated genes and four down-regulated genes, and there were 11 enzymes involved. There were 644 differentially expressed genes between RT and RCK treatments, of which five genes related to starch and sucrose metabolism pathways, including three up-regulated genes and two down-regulated genes, and there were four enzymes involved. Changes in the expression of 13 genes in starch and sucrose metabolic pathways were occurred after drought stress, involving 11 enzymes in metabolic pathways, their functions were related to glycosyl hydrolase, sucrose synthase, glycosyl transferase, starch synthase and pectin esterase. After rehydration, the expression of five genes was still significantly different, affecting four enzymes. The number of genes with differential expression was reduced by eight, and the number of enzymes involved was reduced by seven, the decline was more obvious. Although it was not completely repaired, the overall repair effects was better and the compensation effect was significant.
