Expression analysis of gene silenced barley to identify the function of a novel LRR-RLK (leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase)

VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) was used to silence a putative LRR-RLK, Affy ID Rbaal9i05_at, in barley. Expression patterns in leaves were compared between untreated control leaves, virus treated leaves, VIGS-Rbaal knockdown leaves and VIGS-Rbaal/PDS (phytoene desaturase) co-silenced leaves. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, David L Parrott.
