Comparative analysis of microarray data in Arabidopsis transcriptome during compatible interactions with plant viruses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At the moment, there are a number of publications describing gene expression profiling in virus-infected plants. Most of the data are limited to specific host-pathogen interactions involving a given virus and a model host plant - usually Arabidopsis thaliana. Even though several summarizing attempts have been made, a general picture of gene expression changes in susceptible virus-host interactions is lacking.

Methods

To analyze transcriptome response to virus infection, we have assembled currently available microarray data on changes in gene expression levels in compatible Arabidopsis-virus interactions. We used the mean r (Pearson's correlation coefficient) for neighboring pairs to estimate pairwise local similarity in expression in the Arabidopsis genome.
