Studies on jasmonates signaling in Arabidopsis under sulfur deficiency by integration of transcriptome and metabolome

Abstract

We have investigated transcriptome and metabolome of Arabidopsis under sulfur deficiency stress to elucidate a holistic response of sulfur deficiency. In our studies, the genes involved in jasmonates(JAs) biosynthesis and those induced by JAs treatment were up-regulated. These results suggest that there is a relationship between sulfur deficiency response and JAs signaling. Arabidopsis mutants which produce less JAs were grown under sulfur deficient condition and their transcriptome and metabolome were analyzed. Involvement of JAs signaling in response to sulfur deficiency is discussed.
