Time-course transcriptome analyses identify salt stress responding mechanisms in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain GY-D55

It is highly necessary to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the salt stress response in green algae, which may contribute to finding the evolutionary cues of abiotic stress response in plants.In the present study, we examined the gene expression pattern in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii GY-D55 cells at different time points, from early stage (2-24 h) to late stage (up to 96 h). mRNA profiles of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii GY-D55 cells at control and NaCl treated different time points: 2,4,8,12,24,48,72 and 96 h.
