Fine kinetic transcriptome analysis during jasmonate signaling

To study the role of the plant hormone jasmonate in regulating stress-induced allocation of photosynthetic products between growth- and defense-related processes, we used RNA-sequencing to query the Arabidopsis transcriptome at high temporal resolution over 24 h after treatment with the bacterial toxin coronatine (COR), a high-affinity agonist of the JA receptor, or with a mock solution to account for diurnal changes in gene expression. These data establish a fine-scale view of the kinetics of jasmonate signaling, as well as of the diurnal patterns of gene expression.
