摘要：Suaeda rigida is a lignified, true haplotype that predominantly grows in the Tarim basin, China. It has significant economic and ecological value. Herein, with aim to determine the genes associated with salt tolerance, transcriptome sequencing was performed on its stem, leaves and root over three set NaCl gradients regimens at treatment intervals of 3 h and 5 days. From our findings, we identified 829,095 unigenes, with 331,394 being successfully matched to at least one annotation database. In roots, under 3 h treatment, no up-regulated DEGs were identified in 100 and 500 mM NaCl treated samples. Under 5 days treatment, 97, 60 and 242 up-regulated DEGs were identified in 100, 300, 500 mM NaCl treated samples, respectively. We identified 50, 22 and 255 down-regulated DEGs in 100, 300, 500 mM NaCl treated samples, respectively. GO biological process enrichment analysis established that down-regulated DEGs were associated with nitrogen compound transport, organic substance transport and intracellular protein transport while the up-regulated genes were enriched in cell wall biogenesis, such as plant-type cell wall biogenesis, cell wall assembly, extracellular matrix organization and plant-type cell wall organization. These findings provide valuable knowledge on genes associated with salt tolerance of Suaeda rigida, and can be applied in other downstream haplotype studies.
