The ability of date palm tree to survive under adverse abiotic conditions renders it as a valuable genomic resource for identifying tolerance genes. While mechanisms for salt tolerance have been heavily investigated in model as well as in some agronomic crops, no such studies have been undertaken in date palm. The aim of this study is to identify stress tolerance-related genes through transcriptomic analysis to support further functional studies. Young roots of Deglet Beida cultivar have been subjected to salt stress treatment, and used for RNA-Seq expression profiling and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. A total of 1939 genes are found to be differentially expressed between mock-treated roots and salt-stressed roots using log2FC >= 15
