Transcriptional and metabolic profiling of sulfur starvation response in two monocots.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sulfur (S) is a mineral nutrient essential for plant growth and development, which is incorporated into diverse molecules fundamental for primary and secondary metabolism, plant defense, signaling, and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Although, S starvation response is well documented in the dicot model Arabidopsis thaliana, it is not clear if the same transcriptional networks control the response also in the monocots.

Results

We performed series of physiological, expression, and metabolite analyses in two model monocot species, one representing the C₃ plants, Oryza sativa cv. kitaake, and second representing the C₄ plants, Setaria viridis. Our comprehensive transcriptomic analysis revealed twice as many differentially expressed genes (DEGs)
