摘要： High temperature around flowering has a serious impact on the growth and development of maize. However, few maize genes related to flowering under heat stress have been confirmed, and the regulatory mechanism is unclear. To reveal the molecular mechanism of heat tolerance in maize, two maize hybrids, ZD309 and XY335, with different heat resistance, were selected to perform transcriptome and metabolomics analysis at the flowering stage under heat stress. In ZD309, 314 up-regulated and 463 down-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected, while 168 up-regulated and 119 down-regulated DEGs were identified in XY335. By comparing the differential gene expression patterns of ZD309 and XY335, we found the "frontloaded" genes which were less up-regulated in heat-tolerant maize during high temperature stress. They included heat tolerance genes, which may react faster at the protein level to provide resilience to instantaneous heat stress. A total of 1062 metabolites were identified via metabolomics analysis. Lipids, saccharides, and flavonoids were found to be differentially expressed under heat stress, indicating these metabolites' response to high temperature. Our study will contribute to the identification of heat tolerance genes in maize, therefore contributing to the breeding of heat-tolerant maize varieties.
