Project description:Global warming seriously threats world food supply. However, very few approaches have succeeded in genetically enhancing crop heat tolerance without growth penalty. To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of Erecta action in response to thermal stress, we performed transcriptional profiling of Col-0 and mutant er-105 plants with or without 40℃ heat treatment on a global scale using the Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 GeneChip.
Project description:Analysis of transcriptional changes upon persistent heat stress with emphasis on epigenetically regulated genes 3 week old seedling grown in vitro were exposed to 37oC for 30 h (LHS). After heat stress, plants were analyzed immediately (R0) or allowed to recover at ambient temperature for 2 days (R2).
