Autotoxicity plays an important mechanism in regulating plant productivity. Ferulic acid (FA) is phytotoxic and was identified in extracts and residues of rice plants as a candidate for rice allelochemicals. To help characterize the autotoxicity mechanism of rice, we present the first large-scale, transcriptomic analysis of rice root responses to ferulic acid. Overall design: Two-condition experiment, short exposures and long exposures. Comparison of mock control and rice seedlings treated with 50 ppm ferulic acid (FA) during short (pooled from 1- and 3-h treatments), as compared to long (24 h) exposures.; Biological replicates: 3 control replicates (short and long exposures), 3 FA-treated replicates (short and long exposures).
