Identification of differentially expressed genes in common bean involved in drought stress resistance
Brazil is the second biggest producer of common bean, being Phaseolus vulgaris L. the most cultivated species. Among the three possible harvests exploited in Brazil, drought is the one which generates the greatest production. On the other hand, as the majority of the households employees low technology, one of the problems of this culture is drought stress that leads to a reduction in the productivity. So, the identification of gene that controls the mechanisms of defense and adaptation of common bean to the lack of water would be very useful. In the past years, many omics information of common bean have been generated, creating an integrated view of this organism and providing a complex network between genes and its products. The main goal of this work was the identification of differentially expressed genes in a genotype of common bean resistant to drought stress (BAT 477), when submitted to a interruption of irrigation during its development. It was build a cDNA suppression subtractive hybridization library (SSH), which represented the differentially expressed genes, on the resistant genotype, having as driver the genotype Carioca 80SH (susceptible to drought). It was obtained 1572 valid reads, being 931 singletons and 189 contigs, with the average of 6 reads per cluster. The sequences annotation was conducted via BLAST X, considering only the best similarity results with E value '
