摘要： Chinese cabbage, which is a cold season crop, can still be damaged at an overly low temperature. It is crucial to study the mechanism of the resistance to low temperature of Chinese cabbage. In this study, the Chinese cabbage 'XBJ' was used as the material, and nine different low temperatures and control samples were treated. Using RNA-seq and lignin content determination, we analyzed 27 samples, and the stained sections of them were observed. A total of 8845 genes were screened for the WGCNA analysis, yielding 17 modules. The GO and KEGG analyses of the modules was highly associated with a low-temperature treatment. The pathways such as 'starch and sucrose metabolism' and 'plant hormone signal transduction' were enriched in modules related to low temperature. Interestingly, L-15DAT-associated MEcoral2 was found to have 14 genes related to the 'lignin biosynthetic process' in the GO annotation. The combination of the determination of the lignin content and the treatment of the stained sections showed that the lignin content of the low-temperatures samples were indeed higher than that of the control. We further explored the expression changes of the lignin synthesis pathway and various genes and found that low temperature affects the expression changes of most genes in the lignin synthesis pathway, leading to the speculation that the lignin changes at low temperature are a defense mechanism against low temperatures. The 29 BrCOMT gene sequence derived from the RNA-seq was non-conserved, and eight BrCOMT genes were differentially expressed. This study provides a new insight into how lignin is affected by low temperature.
