Transcriptomic response of rice leaves to 30% CO2 concentration

Analysis of rice leaves (V2 stage) in response to a short treatment with very high CO2 concentration in the dark, using standard atmosphere as control. Results provide insight into molecular mechanisms occurring in response to these extreme conditions, which are often used in the food industry. V2 rice plants were either treated with 30% [CO2] or kept under normal atmosphere (control) for 6 h at 27ºC in the dark. Two biological replicates per treatment (30% [CO2] and control), each encompassing the leaves of ten plants, were analyzed.
