Project description:Transcriptional profiling of sugarcane leaf (+1) was collected from drought-prone areas at 42 and 117 days after the last rainfall when plants were 6- and 9-month-old, respectively. Sample hybridization (non-irrigated treatment against irrigated control) was performed to monitor gene expression in a two-color Agilent custom microarray. Our goal was to investigate the effect of mild and severe water stress on the transcriptomes of drought-sensitive (IACSP97-7065) and -tolerant (IACSP94-2094) sugarcane genotypes.
