Transcriptome analysis of Atasf1 mutants in comparison with wild type.

ASF1 is a conserved histone chaperone with affinity to histone H3-H4. Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes two ASF1 homologues, which play redundant roles in S-phase progression and cell proliferation in plant development. Here, in an attempt to obtain the knowledge of ASF1 role in transcriptional regulation, we perform the transcriptome analysis of each asf1 single mutant (Atasf1a and Atasf1b) as well as Atasf1ab double mutant in comparison with wild type (WT). 12-day-old seedlings of wild-type (WT), each single mutants and double mutant grown in normal growth condition were used for RNA extraction and microarray. Duplicate samples were analyzed.
