Wheat, as a major staple crop, adapts to climate change by tuning its inherent molecular mechanism, which is not well understood. The present study employed the RNA-Seq method to generate transcriptome profiles of the wheat Norin 10 in response to elevated CO_2 in comparison with ambient CO_2. The 10 895 787 high-quality clean reads of Norin 10 were assembled de novo using Trinity(without a reference genome) resulting in a total of 18 206 candidate transcripts with significant BLAST matches. GO enrichment analysis of Norin 10 at different CO_2 concentrations showed that some functional genes related to plastids, precursor metabolites, and energy, thylakoid and photosynthesis were apparently enriched at elevated CO_2(550 μmol mol^–1) in contrast to that at ambient CO_2(400 μmol mol^–1); these findings were further confirmed by RT-PCR analysis. The findings demonstrated the specific effects of elevated CO_2 during long-term period in free air CO_2 enrichment(FACE) on transcriptome response of the high yielding wheat variety, Norin 10, which has a large spike.展开更多
