Meta-Analysis of Microarray Data and Their Utility in Dissecting the Mapped QTLs for Heat Acclimation in Rice.

ABSTRACT: In the current global warming scenario, it is imperative to develop crops with improved heat tolerance or acclimation, for which knowledge of major heat stress-tolerant genes or genomic regions is a prerequisite. Though several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for heat tolerance have been mapped in rice, candidate genes from these QTLs have not been reported yet. The meta-analysis of microarray datasets for heat stress in rice can give us a better genomic resource for the dissection of QTLs and the identification of major candidate genes for heat stress tolerance. In the present study, a database, RiceMetaSys-H, comprising 4227 heat stress-responsive genes (HRGs), was created using seven publicly available microarray datasets. This included in-house-generated microarray datasets of Nagina 22
