Transcript profiles in leaves of the salt-tolerant grapevine rootstock 1616C under salt and ER-stress. Transcript profiles in leaves of the salt-tolerant grapevine rootstock 1616C under salt and ER-stress

Grapevine rootstock 1616C shoots were sterilized and cultured on Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium containing 2% sucrose (w/v). Plantlets were grown in a growth chamber with a 16-h light/8-h dark cycle for 10 weeks at 25 °C. Plantlets with 4–5 leaves were chosen for use in stress treatments. Experiments were conducted with treatment groups: The control (C, without any chemical treatment), TM (treated with 5 μg mL-1 tunicamycin (TM)) and salt (treated with 400 mM NaCl). Microarray analysis was performed and we investigated transcript profiles in leaves of the salt-tolerant grapevine rootstock 1616C under salt- and ER-stress at 6 and 24 hours Overall design: 3 biological replication of each stress application and each control for 6 and 24 hour were performed and total 24 gene chip were used.
