Expression data from root of sir1-1 and serat tko Arabidopsis mutants.. Arabidopsis thaliana

Cysteine is one essential amino acid for plants and its limitation is known to have a significant impact on plant growth and yield. In this study we performed global transcriptome analyses to investigate the responses to cysteine precursor limitation. Overall design: Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown hydroponically under short-day conditions (8h light / 16h dark cycles) under full nutrient supply of Hoagland medium. Arabidopsis root material was harvested when the plants reached the age of 7 weeks (from sowing) and used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Three biological replicates from each condition were analyzed.
