Biotic stress-induced priming and de-priming of transcriptional memory in Arabidopsis

In order to identify primed (and memorized) genes resulting from BTH and/ or flg22 application, we performed a series of microarray-based transcription profiles. 7 days after germination Arabidopsis plants were treated the first time with the indicated treatment and second time 10 days after germination with the indicated treatment. Plants were harvested and RNA was extracted 21 days after germination. BTH was applied as formulated compound Bion. The sample name reflects the treatment order. Samples with the name water_water are control treatments which were treated 7 and 10 days after germination with water. The sample with the name Bion_flg22 was treated 7 days after germination with BTH and 10 days after germination flg22. With this microarrays we investigate the long term memory effect of treatments with the SA analouge BTH (1mM) and/ or flg22 (1µM) in two biological replicates
