Gene expression analysis comparing between dormant and released leaf bud from Japanese pear 'Kosui'

ABSTRACT: Dormancy of buds is a critical developmental process that allows plants to survive extreme seasonal variations in climate. Dormancy transition in leaf buds of Japanese pear leading cultivar M-bM-^@M-^XKosuiM-bM-^@M-^Y were investigated using 10 K cDNA microarray. Leaf buds collected on October (early endodormancy) and February (breaking stage) were used to monitor the changes in the transcriptome. Over 1000 genes were differentially expressed (p value < 0.05 and 2 fold change) when the early endodormant stage and breaking one were compared to each other. Functional classification revealed that the majority of genes were involved in response to abiotic/biotic stimulus and stress, signal transduction, and transcription. Among them, 76 and 22 genes were significantly (over 10 fold change) hig
