Transcription profiling of wheat cultivars after cold treatment

ABSTRACT: Different wheat cultivars may be classified as either winter or spring varieties depending on whether they require exposure to an extended period of cold in order to become competent to flower. Using a growth regime that mimics the conditions that occur during a typical winter in Britain, we wished to survey the genes that are involved in phase transition as well as those involved in cold-acclimation. Experiment Overall Design: We wished to study the profiles of expression of genes involved in both phase transition (vegetative to reproductive growth transition) and cold-acclimation. To that end we we exposed plants to a gradual, stepped decline in both temperature and light. We sampled plants at three time points (3 weeks post-germination, 5 weeks post germination and 9 weeks post germi
