Physiological and Transcriptional Responses of Industrial Rapeseed () Seedlings to Drought and Salinity Stress.

Abiotic stress greatly inhibits crop growth and reduces yields. However, little is known about the transcriptomic changes that occur in the industrial oilseed crop, rapeseed (), in response to abiotic stress. In this study, we examined the physiological and transcriptional responses of rapeseed to drought (simulated by treatment with 15% (/) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000) and salinity (150 mM NaCl) stress.
