Transcriptional profile analysis of E3 ligase and hormone-related genes expressed during wheat grain development.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Wheat grains are an important source of food, stock feed and raw materials for industry, but current production levels cannot meet world needs. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying wheat grain development will contribute valuable information to improving wheat cultivation. One of the most important mechanisms implicated in plant developmental processes is the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Among the different roles of the UPS, it is clear that it is essential to hormone signaling. In particular, E3 ubiquitin ligases of the UPS have been shown to play critical roles in hormone perception and signal transduction.

Results

A NimbleGen microarray containing 39,179 UniGenes was used to study the kinetics of gene expression during wheat grain developmen
