Abstract
Drought is one of the main adverse factors affecting the growth and development of wheat. The molecular regulation pathway of Strigolactone (SLs or SL),which induces drought resistance in wheat, needs to be further clarified. In this study, SL and Tis (Strigolactone inhibitor) were sprayed on leaves to clarify the changes in wheat drought resistance and their effect on antioxidant enzyme activity, photosynthesis and other metabolic processes. However, 20 kinds of DOF transcription factors were identified by transcriptome metabolome association analysis, and they were highly enriched on chromosome 2. Moreover, the proline, glycosides, indoleacetic acid, betaine, etc., in wheat are the key factors affecting the change in the drought resistance of wheat. The study initially revealed the mechanism of the involvement of DOF in the SL regulation pathway and revealed its impact on different metabolites of wheat, thus providing a theoretical reference for the subsequent molecular verification and breeding of excellent drought-resistant varieties.
