Expression data from rice varieties IRAT109 and ZS97 for drought stress treatment in flag leaves. Expression data from rice varieties IRAT109 and ZS97 for drought stress treatment in flag leaves

Comparative transcriptional profiling of two contrasting rice genotypes,IRAT109 (drought-resistant japonica cultivar) and ZS97 (drought-sensitive indica cultivar), under drought stress during the reproductive stage Overall design: Four samples with RWC in the range of 94–95% (no stress, D0), 83–88% (slight drought in which leaves were slightly rolled, D1), 74–78% (moderate drought in which about half of each leaf was rolled, D2), and 65–69% (severe drought in which all leaves were completely rolled, D3) were collected for expression profiling analysis using an Affymetrix GeneChip.
