OsJMJ705 preferentially activates stress-responsive genes. Oryza sativa Japonica Group

Histone methylation is important epigenomic information for gene regulation and genome activity To evaluate genome-wide effect of OsJMJ705 on gene expression, we used the Affymetrix microarray technologies to analyze the transcriptomes of the wild type, over-expression plants and the T-DNA mutant. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that up-regulated genes were significantly enriched for the categories of stress-responsive genes. Overall design: To evaluate genome-wide effect of OsJMJ705 on gene expression, we used the Affymetrix microarray technologies to analyze the transcriptomes of the wild type, over-expression plants and the T-DNA mutant 14 days after germination under normal growth conditions. Two biological repeats were performed. Gene expression changes between the samples were analyzed by AffylmGUI package from the R software.
