The Use of Microarrays to Study the Anaerobic Response in Arabidopsis

摘要: � Background and Aims The use of microarrays to characterize the transcript profile Arabidopsis under various experimental conditions is rapidly expanding. This technique provides a huge amount expression data, requiring bioinformatics tools allow proposal working hypotheses. aim this study was test usefulness approach examine anaerobic response by evaluating reliability microarray data sets interrogation databases for set anoxia-inducible genes. Methods User-driven software that display large gene datasets onto diagrams metabolic pathways were used. Genevestigator used explore genes throughout life cycle as well relative plant organs. T-DNA tagged mutants selected identified from our analysis searched in theArabidopsis thalianaInsertion Database, looking insertional Salk collection. Key Results results indicate can provide basis new hypotheses field responses anaerobiosis also knowledge targeted screening mutants. Conclusions Research on enormously benefit technology.
