Transcriptional changes of rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) in response to cold stress during ripening stage

Cold stress induces reduction in yield and quality of rice. Although many studies have investigate the impact of cold stress on rice, researches on physiological changes of rice plants under low temperature during ripening stage are insufficient. Transcriptomic information about the impact of cold stress on rice plant during ripening stage could help us understand the biological mechanism of rice plant. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine transcriptional changes in rice plant in response to cold stress during ripening stage using RNA-Seq
