A subset of group S1 bZIP transcription factors controls resource management during starvation and recovery in Arabidopsis

To unravel the individual functions of group S1 bZIP transcription factors during dark induced senescence, we made use of Arabidopsis wildtype (WT) as well as single (bzip1 and bzip53) and higher-order S1 bzip mutants (bzip1/53, bzip2/11/44, bzip1/2/11/44/53) and performed RNAseq analysis during the day (Zeitgeber time 6) and extended night conditions (6h, 30h and 78h). Overall design: We performed RNAseq from 3 biological replicates per genotype (whole rosettes of 4 weeks old wild type (WT, Arabidopsis ecotype Col-0), single (bzip1, bzip53), double (bzip1/bzip53), triple (bzip2/11/44) and quintuple (bzip1/2/11/44/53) bZIP mutants) and conditions (light (ZT6) or extended night (6, 30 or 78 hours)
