Identification of root transcriptional responses to shoot illumination in Arabidopsis thaliana

This experiment aimed to investigate which genes are involved in the early photomorphogenic root development of dark grown roots when only the shoot was exposed to light. Overall design: The samples consist of two biological replicates of total RNA extracted from primary roots from Arabidopsis Col-0 WT plants grown for 4 and 7 days in total darkness (4D and 7D samples) and grown roots in darkness and shoots in light (4LD and 7LD samples) to mimick the natural root growth environment.
