Transcriptomic profiling of Linolenic Acid-responsive genes in ROS signalling from RNA-seq data in Arabidopsis. Arabidopsis thaliana

We describe the transcriptional profiles upon 1 mM linolienic acid (Ln) treatment in Arabidopsis cell suspension cultures. Ln is an important fatty acid in plant. We found that Ln treatment induced the expression of 533 genes and repressed the expression of 2501 gene. GO analysis indicated that most of those genes related to Reactive Oxygen Species signaling, abiotic and biotic stress responses, and/or Jasmonic Acid biosynthesis and signaling. This study provides basic information on how Ln regulates the gene expression and fulfils its role in abiotic and biotic stresses.
