Transcriptomic and Co-expression Network Analyses on Diverse Wheat Landraces Identifies Candidate Master Regulators of the Response to Early Drought

Fourteen landraces where used to assess the wheat transcriptomic response to drought. The experiment was performed by growing the plant until GS13 (Zadok’s growth scale) and applying the drought stress during 10 days (withholding water) and three days of recovery (normal watering) after that. Four replicates, per treatment, per landrace accession were used in this experiment. mRNA-Seq analysis was performed on RNA material collected at GS13, and after 10 days of drought stress.
