High-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling reveals the regulatory mechanism underlying salt tolerance in maize

Our study provides the first high-resolution transcriptomic and metabolomic dataset for crop salt response, uncovering novel maize salt-responsive genes and metabolites. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of high-resolution multi-omics in deciphering the mechanisms underlying complex crop traits. Furthermore, we develop a systematic analytical framework for mining time-series multi-omics data, which can be broadly applied to other species or traits.
