Analysis of genes regulated by blue light receptor cry1 in the inflorescense stem of Arabidopsis

To analyze genes regulated by cry1 in the inflorescence stem of Arabidopsis, WT and cry1 were grown in white light until bolting and then transferred to continuous blue light for inflorescence stem elongation. Total RNA was extracted from the inflorescence stem which length reached 10 cm and subjected to high throughput sequencing. Three repeat were done for each genotype. This study reveals that most of the secondary cell wall related genes which mainly located in the inflorescence stem were regulated by cry1 in blue light.
