Physiological and transcriptomic analysis of the effect of overexpression of the NTPIP2;4 gene on drought tolerance in tobacco by Xu Luo, Yuanshuai Shi, Jie Tan, Tao Long, Juntao Song, Yang Liu

“…The DEGs were enriched mainly in the plant MAPK signaling pathway, the plant hormone signal transduction pathway, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism and plant-pathogen interaction pathways. We also investigated the drought pathway of MAPK pathway and the auxin pathway mechanism of plant hormone signal transduction pathway, and found that the transcript levels of the genes of the relevant pathways changed, and hypothesized that NtPIP2;4 might regulate the drought resistance of plants through the expression of the relevant genes induced by auxin. …”
