OBJECTIVE To excavate the key genes of drought stress response of A.sinensis, and carry out the comparative analysis with the transcriptome data of the main cultivars ‘Mingui 1’ and ‘Mingui 2’ of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels. METHODS With the fresh leaf and root tissues of two cultivars of A.sinensis as materials, a cDNA library was constructed. The Illumina HiSeqTM 4000, a second-generation high-throughput sequencing platform, was used for sequencing analysis, and key enzyme genes in response to drought stress were screened from differentially expressed genes(DEGs). RESULTS A total of 584 423 236 clean reads were obtained from transcriptome sequencing, in which the percentage of Q20 (base amount ≥20%) and Q30 (base amount ≥30%) were above 97.47% and 92.64%, and the GC content ranged from 42.78% to 43.15%. A total of 1 894 DEGs were screened from the leaves and roots of two cultivars of A.sinensis, the numbers of which were 674 and 1 220, respectively, and they had 338 shared DEGs. The GO enrichment results showed that the annotation classification of DEGs of two cultivars of A.sinensis in the same tissue part mainly included cellular process, metabolic process and catalytic activity. KEGG analysis found that the DEGs were significantly enriched in plant-pathogen interaction, MAPK signaling pathway-plant, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and plant hormone signal transduction pathways. The detailed classification annotation results were consistent with the trends of GO and KEGG analysis. Based on the functional annotation results, 60 drought resistance genes were excavated. HVA22C, KRP1, PUB23, DREB1B and Bp10 were selected to verify their expression levels by qRT-PCR. and the results showed their genes expression level were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing gene expression trends. CONCLUSION The two cultivars of A.sinensis have some differences in drought resistance pathways such as abscisic acid regulation, osmoregulation, scavenging of reactive oxygen species and regulation of other functional proteins, and the screened drought resistance genes can provide data references for further research on the molecular mechanisms of A.sinensis in response to drought stress.
