Establishment of genetic transformation system in Lilium pumilum and functional analysis of LpNAC6 on abiotic stress.

Lilium pumilum is widely distributed in northeast Asia. It exhibits strong resistance and possesses high ornamental value. However, it currently lacks an efficient and stable transformation system.

Transcriptome profiling revealed salt stress-responsive genes in bulbs.

is an important ornamental, culinary and medicinal bulbous plants with salt tolerance. However, salt tolerance of lily, particularly the bulb, has been studied relatively little, which brings challenges to the cultivation of lily varieties with high salt tolerance. Here, we performed transcriptome sequencing on the bulb organs of under salt stress treatment, analyzed differential gene expressed levels and then identified several key genes associated with salt stress tolerance at genome-wide scale.
