Identification of cis-regulatory elements associated with salinity and drought stress tolerance in rice from co-expressed gene interaction networks.

ABSTRACT: Rice, a staple food crop, is often subjected to drought and salinity stresses thereby limiting its yield potential. Since there is a cross talk between these abiotic stresses, identification of common and/or overlapping regulatory elements is pivotal for generating rice cultivars that showed tolerance towards them. Analysis of the gene interaction network (GIN) facilitates identifying the role of individual genes and their interactions with others that constitute important molecular determinants in sensing and signaling cascade governing drought and/or salinity stresses. Identification of the various cis-regulatory elements of the genes constituting GIN is equally important. Here, in this study graphical Gaussian model (GGM) was used for generating GIN for an array of genes that were diffe
