Transcriptomic landscape of seedstick in Arabidopsis thaliana funiculus after fertilisation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Angiosperms, the continuation of plant species is intricately dependent on the funiculus multifaceted role in nutrient transport, mechanical support, and dehiscence of seeds. SEEDSTICK (STK) is a MADS-box transcription factor involved in seed size and abscission, and one of the few genes identified as affecting funiculus growth. Given the importance of the funiculus to a correct seed development, allied with previous phenotypic observations of stk mutants, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of stk funiculi from floral stage 17, using RNA-sequencing, to infer on the deregulated networks of genes.

Results

The generated dataset of differentially expressed genes was enriched with cell wall biogenesis, cell cycle, sugar metabolism and transport terms, all in acc
