Transcriptome analyses in Arabidopsis seedlings ectopically expressing pea apyrase

The ectopic expression of pea apyrase encoded by psNTP9 and psNTP9-DM induces major changes in root system architecture, drought tolerance, nutrient uptake, and seed yield in Arabidopsis. The goal of the project is to evaluate to what extent these phenotypic and physiological changes are attributable to changes in gene expression induced by the transgenes.

由psNTP9和psNTP9-DM编码的豌豆腺苷三磷酸酶（apyrase）的异位表达，可显著改变拟南芥的根系构型、抗旱性、养分吸收能力与种子产量。本研究旨在评估这些表型与生理变化在多大程度上可归因于转基因所诱导的基因表达改变。
