Physiological and transcriptome analysis of sex-specific responses to cadmium stress in poplars by Meihua Liu, Sumei Wu, Yigang Song, Mengjiao Shi, Lita Yi

“…Under Cd stress, the genes related to oxidation-reduction processes, antioxidant enzyme activity and defense mechanisms, cell wall synthesis, and glutathione metabolism were mainly enriched and upregulated in females, whereas in males, genes related to photosynthesis and photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis were mainly enriched and downregulated, indicating greater damage to the photosynthetic system than in females. Our study provides novel insights into the mechanisms responding to Cd tolerance in poplars. …”
