Expression profling of Arabidopsis sto2 mutant. Arabidopsis thaliana

STO2 is a novel MYB like protein which belongs to one of the most important transcription factors in planta. Microarray analysis of sto2 null mutant compared to Columbia with three-week-old soil-grown plants revealed that STO2 function in ABA and salt stress response. Overall design: To find the potantial downstream target of STO2 protein, microarray was performed and samples from expanding rosette leaves (from 3th to 6th leaves) of three-week-old soil-grown sto2 mutant plants with those of wild-type were collected. Both Wild-type (Col-0) and sto2 null mutant have three biological replicates, respectively.
