Abscisic acid, stress, ripening proteins (ASR) are a family of plant-specific small hydrophilic proteins. Studies in various plant species have highlighted their role in increased resistance to abiotic stress, including drought, but their specific function remains unknown. As a first step toward ...

Structure and regulation of the Asr gene family in banana
Drought stress is one of the major abiotic factors limiting banana (Musa) production. Even mild-drought conditions are responsible for considerable yield losses. We performed large-scale transcriptome sequencing using Illumina technology on root tissue of three triploid genotypes representing wel...

Transcriptomic profiling in Musa: a look into processes affected by mild osmotic stress in the root tip
To explore the transcriptomic global response to osmotic stress in roots, 18 mRNA-seq libraries were generated from three triploid banana genotypes grown under mild osmotic stress (5% PEG) and control conditions. Illumina sequencing produced 568 million high quality reads, of which 70–84% were ma...

Differential root transcriptomics in a polyploid non-model crop: the importance of respiration during osmotic stress
Drought is a complex phenomenon that is relevant for many crops. Performing high-throughput transcriptomics in non-model crops is challenging. The non-model crop where our workflow has been tested on is banana (Musa spp.), which ranks among the top ten staple foods (total production over 145 mill...
