Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis in the presence of sucrose to assess tolerance to the herbicide atrazine

ABSTRACT: Growth in the presence of sucrose was shown to confer to Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings, under conditions of in vitro culture, a very high level of tolerance to the herbicide atrazine and to other photosynthesis inhibitors (Sulmon et al., 2004). The CATMA investigation will be useful to reveal the gene networks implicated in the mechanisms of xenobiotics tolerance. Seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia) were surface-sterilized inbayrochlore/ethanol (1:1, v/v), rinsed in absolute ethanol and dried overnight. Germination and growth were carried out under axenic conditions in square Petri dishes. After seeds were sowed, Petri dishes were placed at 4 C for 48 h in order to break dormancy and homogenize germination, and then transferred to a control growth chamber at 22°C under a 16-h
