Transcriptomic divergence between upland and lowland ecotypes contributes to rice adaptation to a drought-prone agroecosystem.

Many key genes, which promote transcriptomic adaptation to drought in upland rice, have great prospective in breeding water-saving and drought-resistant rice. Meanwhile, appropriate strategies are required in breeding to overcome the potential transcriptomic trade-off.
