The invention discloses a key
gene identification method related to tobacco
nitrogen response, which comprises the following steps: S1, setting four
nitrogen fertilizer gradient treatments on the basis of same
phosphorus and
potassium fertilization by adopting a
field experiment of a completely random block; s2, randomly taking the 6th to 8th leaves of the five plants in each area, and dividing a sample into two parts: quickly freezing one part with
liquid nitrogen, and storing at-80 DEG C for
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) extraction and
transcriptome sequencing; one part is used for measuring the
nitrogen content, and after baking and
drying treatment, a KjeltecTM8100 automatic nitrogen analyzer is used for measuring; s3, nitrogen
content determination: determining the nitrogen content in the treated sample by using an automatic nitrogen analyzer KjeltecTM8100; according to the method, high-
throughput transcriptome sequencing and weighted
gene co-expression
network analysis (WGCNA) are combined, so that not only can
gene expression maps of
flue-cured tobacco leaves treated by different nitrogen fertilizers be comprehensively captured, but also gene modules with similar expression
modes can be mined from a global perspective.
