HSFA1a controls plant heat stress response through its action on the 3D chromatin reorganization of enhancer-promoter interactions [RNA-seq 1]

We investigated the role of HSFA1a, a master regulator of heat stress response, in this reorganization through promotion of the formation of promoter/enhancer chromatin loops. To confirm that the temperature and timing used for the heat stress are relevant, we generated RNA-seq data and analyzed changes in gene expression induced by the heat stress treatment. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for tomato M82 wild type after 0h, 1h and 6h of heat stress. 2 biological replicates for each time point.
