Maize transcriptome profiling reveals low temperatures affect photosynthesis during the emergence stage by Manja Božić, Dragana Ignjatović Micić, Violeta Anđelković, Nenad Delić, Ana Nikolić

“…IntroductionEarlier sowing is a promising strategy of ensuring sufficiently high maize yields in the face of negative environmental factors caused by climate change. However, it leads to the low temperature exposure of maize plants during emergence, warranting a better understanding of their response and acclimation to suboptimal temperatures.Materials and MethodsTo achieve this goal, whole transcriptome sequencing was performed on two maize inbred lines – tolerant/susceptible to low temperatures, at the 5-day-old seedling stage. …”
