摘要: Drought severely affects the growth and development of maize, but there is a certain degree of compensation effect after rewatering. This study intends to elaborate the response mechanism of maize at the physiological and molecular level as well as excavating potential genes with strong drought resistance and recovery ability. Physiological indexes analysis demonstrated that stomata conductance, transpiration rate, photosynthesis rate, antioxidant enzymes, and proline levels in maize were significantly altered in response to drought for 60 and 96 h and rewatering for 3 days. At 60 h, 96 h, and R3d, we detected 3095, 1941, and 5966 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 221, 226, and 215 differentially expressed miRNAs. Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) showed that DEGs responded to maize drought and rewatering through participating in photosynthesis, proline metabolism, ABA signaling, and oxidative stress. Joint analysis of DEGs, miRNA, and target genes showed that zma-miR529, miR5072, zma-miR167e, zma-miR167f, zma-miR167j, miR397, and miR6214 were involved to regulate SBPs, MYBs, ARFs, laccases, and antioxidant enzymes, respectively. Hundreds of differentially expressed DNA methylation-related 24-nt siRNA clusters overlap with DEGs, indicating that DNA methylation is involved in responses under drought stress. These results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance, and may identify new targets for breeding drought-tolerant maize lines.
