Comparative transcriptome analysis of rice roots treated with the resistance inducers piperonylic acid, acibenzolar-S-methyl and beta-aminobutyric acid

We used mRNA sequencing to study the effects of foliar treatment with piperonylic acid, acibenzolar-S-methyl or beta-aminobutyric acid on the root transcriptome of rice plants (cv. Kitaake) in order to find conserved systemic responses to distinct resistance-inducing stimuli Overall design: mRNA sequencing of the root systems of rice seedlings treated with piperonylic acid, beta-aminobutyric acid, acibenzolar-S-methyl or a mock treatment
