Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal early coordination between redox homeostasis and phenylpropanoid metabolism associated with oat resistance to Drechslera avenae

Oat ( Avena sativa L.) is an important grain and forage crop, but oat leaf spot caused by Drechslera avenae ( D. avenae ) severely limits its production. However, the dynamic defense mechanisms underlying genotype-dependent resistance to this disease remain unclear. We characteri...

Molecular mechanism of drought resistance in oat roots revealed using integrated physiological and multi-omics analyses

Oat ( Avena sativa L.), a key forage crop, is highly susceptible to water deficit. Many studies have elucidated the mechanisms through which oat leaves respond to drought; however, little is known about these mechanisms in roots. We compared the physiological, transcriptomic, and...
