Identification of transcriptional networks controlling leaf sheath growth in Sorghum bicolor.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this data set was to identify transcriptional networks that control elongation of seedling leaf sheaths in the C4 grass Sorghum bicolor. One motivation was that leaf sheaths are a primary constituent of stems in grass seedlings; therefore, genes that control growth of this organ are important contributors to successful transition from the seedling stage to the mature plant stage and, ultimately, crop success. Since diurnal rhythms contribute to regulation of signaling networks responsible for growth, a time course representing the late afternoon and early evening was anticipated to pinpoint important control genes for stem growth. Ultimately, the expected outcome was discovery of transcript networks that integrate internal and external signals to fine tu
