چکیده

مقدمه: امنیت غذایی جهانی با چالش‌های متعددی نظیر رشد سریع جمعیت، تغییرات اقلیمی، تخریب محیط زیست، خشکسالی، ظهور بیماری‌های جدید و شوری خاک‌ها تهدید می‌شود. در محیط طبیعی، گیاهان به طور مکرر با عوامل محیطی نامطلوبی مواجه می‌شوند که بر بقا و رشد آن‌ها تأثیرات قابل توجهی می‌گذارد و این عوامل به طور کلی تحت عنوان ناملایمات شناخته می‌شوند. تنش‌های گیاهی به طور کلی شامل تنش‌های غیر زیستی و تنش‌های زیستی هستند. تنش‌های غیرزیستی عمدتاً ناشی از شرایط فیزیکی یا شیمیایی مانند دماهای بالا، خشکی، آسیب‌های ناشی از سرما، غلظت بالای نمک، وجود فلزات سنگین و آسیب‌های مکانیکی هستند. از سوی دیگر، تنش‌های زیستی به واسطه عوامل بیولوژیکی مختلفی نظیر قارچ‌ها، باکتری‌ها، ویروس‌ها، نماتدها و گیاهان انگلی ایجاد می‌شوند. بهبود عملکرد گیاهان و افزایش مقاومت آن‌ها در برابر تنش‌های غیرزیستی، از اهداف کلیدی در برنامه‌های به­نژادی مدرن محسوب می‌شود. پیشرفت فناوری‌های اُمیکس در دهه‌های اخیر، چشم‌انداز جدیدی برای درک مکانیسم‌های مولکولی پاسخ گیاهان به تنش‌های محیطی فراهم کرده است. در این میان، ترنسکریپتومیکس به عنوان یکی از رویکردهای کلیدی، امکان تحلیل جامع الگوهای بیان ژن را در شرایط مختلف تنش فراهم می‌آورد و می‌تواند در شناسایی ژن‌های مسئول تحمل تنش، مسیرهای تنظیمی و مکانیسم‌های سازگاری گیاه نقشی مؤثر ایفا کند.
مواد و روش‌ها: مقاله حاضر یک مقاله مروری می­باشد که به شیوه تحلیل محتوا با جستجوی کلید واژه‌های ترنسکریپتومیکس، تنش­های غیر زیستی، بیان ژن در مقاله‌های مرتبط در پایگاه­های اینترنتی PubMed،Web of Science ،Google Scholar و Scopus تهیه شده است.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که ترنسکریپتومیکس، با تمرکز بر بررسی کل مجموعه رونوشت‌های RNA، ابزار مؤثری برای شناسایی ژن‌ها و مسیرهای مولکولی دخیل در پاسخ به تنش‌های محیطی است. فناوری‌های مختلف مورد استفاده در این حوزه شامل ریزآرایه (Microarray)، توالی­یابی آر ان ای (RNA Sequencing; RNA- Seq) و توالی‌یابی نسل سوم (Third-Generation Sequencing) می‌باشند که هر یک دارای مزایا و محدودیت‌های خاصی هستند. مطالعات نشان می‌دهد که RNA-Seq نسبت به روش‌های مبتنی بر ریزآرایه، دقت و گستره‌ی دینامیکی بیشتری دارد و قادر است رونوشت‌های نادر، ایزوفرم‌های متفاوت و RNAهای غیرکُدکننده را شناسایی کند. در مقابل، توالی‌یابی نسل سوم با توانایی خواندن (خوانش) طولانی‌تر و پوشش کامل‌تر، به شناسایی ساختارهای پیچیده‌تر ژن‌ها کمک می‌کند. بررسی‌های موردی در غلات نشان می‌دهند که تحلیل‌های ترنسکریپتومی به‌طور موفقیت‌آمیز عوامل مهمی مانند فاکتورهای رونویسی، مسیرهای تنظیم ROS، انتقال‌دهنده‌های یونی، اجزای سیگنالینگ هورمونی و ژن‌های مرتبط با سازگاری به خشکی، شوری، دماهای شدید و تنش اکسیداتیو را شناسایی کرده‌اند. ترکیب داده‌های ترنسکریپتومی با ابزارهای پیشرفته بیوانفورماتیکی، دقت تحلیل را افزایش داده و فهم عمیق‌تری از سازوکارهای مولکولی تحمل تنش فراهم می‌سازد.
نتیجه‌گیری: ترنسکریپتومیکس به‌عنوان یکی از ارکان اصلی زیست‌فناوری مدرن، نقشی اساسی در شناسایی ژن‌ها و مسیرهای مولکولی مرتبط با تحمل به تنش‌های غیرزیستی ایفا می‌کند. تلفیق این فناوری با سایر رویکردهای اُمیکس نظیر ژنومیکس، پروتئومیکس و متابولومیکس، درک جامع‌تری از تعاملات مولکولی در گیاهان فراهم کرده و مسیر جدیدی برای توسعه‌ی گیاهان مقاوم به تنش و کشاورزی پایدار هموار می‌سازد.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Global food security is threatened by numerous challenges such as rapid population growth, climate change, environmental degradation, drought, the emergence of new diseases, and soil salinity. In natural environments, plants frequently encounter unfavorable environmental factors that significantly impact their survival and growth; these factors are collectively referred to as adversities. Plant stresses are generally categorized into abiotic stresses and biotic stresses. Abiotic stresses primarily arise from physical or chemical conditions such as high temperatures, drought, cold damage, high salt concentrations, the presence of heavy metals, and mechanical injuries. On the other hand, biotic stresses are caused by various biological agents such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and parasitic plants. Enhancing plant performance and improving tolerance to abiotic stresses remain central aims in modern breeding programs. Recent advances in omics technologies have enabled deeper exploration of the molecular mechanisms that govern plant stress responses. Among these, transcriptomics has emerged as a core analytical platform, offering genome-wide insights into gene expression dynamics and facilitating the identification of stress-responsive genes, regulatory mechanisms, and adaptive physiological pathways.
Materials and methods: This review synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed studies retrieved from major scientific databases including, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar using targeted keywords related to transcriptomics, abiotic stress, and gene expression. Content analysis was used to evaluate transcriptomic technologies, their applications in cereal breeding, and their integration with other omics approaches.
Results: Transcriptomics, through comprehensive profiling of RNA transcripts, provides a powerful tool for uncovering molecular pathways associated with plant adaptation to environmental stresses. Key platforms include Microarray, RNA-Seq, and Third-Generation Sequencing (TGS). RNA-Seq offers high sensitivity, broad dynamic range, and the ability to detect rare transcripts, alternative isoforms, and non-coding RNAs, while TGS improves reconstruction of full-length transcripts and complex gene architectures. Case studies in cereals demonstrate that transcriptomic analyses have successfully identified transcription factors, ROS-regulatory pathways, ion transporters, hormone-mediated signaling components, and multiple candidate genes underlying tolerance to drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and oxidative stress. Integrating transcriptomic datasets with advanced bioinformatics pipelines further enhances predictive accuracy and supports more robust functional interpretations.
Conclusion: Transcriptomics represents a key component of modern molecular breeding by enabling precise characterization of gene regulatory networks involved in tolerance to abiotic stresses. Its integration with complementary omics approaches such as, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics provides a systems-level framework for identifying key molecular targets and accelerating the development of stress-resilient crop varieties. Continued advances in sequencing technologies and computational analytics are expected to further expand the utility of transcriptomics in sustainable crop improvement.
