Expression data from wildtype and spy-3 roots. Arabidopsis thaliana

SPY is an O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase involved in many signaling and developmental processes in Arabidopsis. SPY also has a role in root development. In the spy mutant, a middle cortex is produced prematurely. To understand how SPY regulates root cortex proliferation, we sought to identify the genes affected by the spy mutation in the root. Overall design: The transciptomes from the root of one-week-old seedlings, Col or spy-3 mutant, were compared. The seedlings were grown on a nylon membrane placed on 1X MS agar medium and the plates are positionally vertically in a Pecival growth chamber with 16 hr light and 8 hr dark. Three biological replicates were performed.
