Transcriptome analyses in Arabidopsis seedlings ectopically expressing pea apyrase

The ectopic expression of pea apyrase encoded by psNTP9 and psNTP9-DM induces major changes in root system architecture, drought tolerance, nutrient uptake, and seed yield in Arabidopsis. The goal of the project is to evaluate to what extent these phenotypic and physiological changes are attributable to changes in gene expression induced by the transgenes.
