RNA-seq of Arabidopsis 14 day-old seedlings expressing either mCherry-RAX1-GR or mCherry-GR with 4h mock vs. dexamethasone treatment

In order to identify relevant target genes of RAX1 (AT5G23000) involved in meristem initiation in Arabidopsis we generated dexamethasone inducible lines expressing either a mCherry-RAX1-GR or a mCherry-GR (mock construct) fusion protein. We analysed differential gene regulation after 4 hours of dexamethasone or mock treatment in 14 day-old seedlings. Paired-end sequencing was performed using 3 biological replicate for each genotype and differentially expressed genes were identified for the interaction of genotype and treatment.
