Integrative systems biology analysis of barley transcriptome ─ hormonal signaling against biotic stress.

ABSTRACT: Biotic stresses are pests and pathogens that cause a variety of crop diseases and damages. In response to these agents, crops trigger specific defense signal transduction pathways in which hormones play a central role. To recognize hormonal signaling, we integrated barley transcriptome datasets related to hormonal treatments and biotic stresses. In the meta-analysis of each dataset, 308 hormonal and 1232 biotic DEGs were identified respectively. According to the results, 24 biotic TFs belonging to 15 conserved families and 6 hormonal TFs belonging to 6 conserved families were identified, with the NF-YC, GNAT, and WHIRLY families being the most prevalent. Additionally, gene enrichment and pathway analyses revealed that over-represented cis-acting elements were recognized in response to path
