transcriptomic assay on embryos after barley seeds gamma_irradiation-Molecular mechanisms of growth stimulation after low-dose irradiation of barley seeds

4plex_barley_2017_01 - transcriptomic assay on embryos after barley seeds gamma_irradiation - Why radiation exposure on seeds at low doses causes stimulation of plant growth after germination? - Barley dry seeds of variety “Nur” were irradiated by gamma-rays (Co-60) at doses 20 Gy (stimulatory) and 100 Gy (inhibitory). Immediately after irradiation we put seeds for germination to Petri dishes containing water filter paper; embryos were taken 2h after irradiation, embryos with embrionic roots were taken 24 and 48h after irradiation. The following comparisons have been made: non-irradiated (0 Gy), 2h vs. 20 Gy, 2h; 0 Gy, 24h vs. 20 Gy, 24h; 0 Gy, 48h vs. 20 Gy, 48h; 0 Gy, 24h vs. 100 Gy, 24h. Three independent biological replicates were used. 12 dye-swap - dose response,treated vs untreated comparison
