Biological process
In the Heze genotype, the upregulated DEGs in the Heze L vs Heze C group were mostly involved in biological processes such as intracellular water homeostasis, response to salicylic acid, cell surface receptor signaling pathway, cell volume homeostasis, biological process involved in interspecies interaction between organisms and response to external biotic stimulus (Fig. 4c ). For theHeze H vs Heze C group, upregulated DEGs were mainly associated with cell surface receptor signaling pathways and intracellular water homeostasis. For the Panjin genotypes, upregulated DEGs in thePanjin L vs Panjin C comparison were enriched in several GO terms related to responses to various light conditions (including light intensity, red/far-red light, UV-A, UV-B, and blue light), as well as developmental process, chlorophyll biosynthesis and metabolic processes (Supplementary Table S8 ). In contrast, downregulated DEGs in the Panjin H vs Panjin C comparison were associated with response to endogenous stimulus, organic substances, and hormones.
