Intervention effect Severe stress triggered programmed cell death.
Intervention effect Malondialdehyde content peaked at 17.16 μmol g −1 FW under 10% PEG, 68.55% above control.
Intervention effect Soluble sugar content rose progressively with stress intensity, by 45.64% at 20% PEG.
Intervention effect Soluble protein content fell significantly by 82.9% at 20% PEG.
Observation Antioxidant enzyme activities responded differentially to stress.
Observation Transcriptome profiling found 9,923 differentially expressed genes.
Observation PPI analysis identified 21 core candidate genes or proteins.
Observation APX1 was up-regulated 6.22-fold.
Method / resource qRT-PCR validation of nine candidate genes supported the transcriptomic data.
