Time course profiles in salt shock roots of Ceriops tagal

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional differentiation in response to environmental stresses plays critical roles in adaptation. Mangroves are dominant in intertidal zones and form dense forest at the sea-land interface, but little is known about the impact of transcriptional phenotype on their adaptation to the saline environments. To address this issue, we prepared customized chips containing cDNA from the root cDNA library of a mangrove species, Ceriops tagal, and then monitored the time-course transcript profiles in the roots by conducting a series of microarray experiments. Five durations of salt shock with 500 mM NaCl, namely 2, 5, 10, 24 and 192 hours, were included. A total of 88 unigenes that were recognized to be up- or down-regulated by salt shock and both gene categories in relation to stresses-induc
