Meta-analysis of transcriptomic responses to biotic and abiotic stress in tomato.

ABSTRACT: A wide range of biotic stresses (BS) and abiotic stresses (AS) adversely affect plant growth and productivity worldwide. The study of individual genes cannot be considered as an effective approach for the understanding of tolerance mechanisms, since these stresses are frequent and often in combination with each other, and a large number of genes are involved in these mechanisms. The availability of high-throughput genomic data has enabled the discovery of the role of transcription factors (TFs) in regulatory networks. A meta-analysis of BS and AS responses was performed by analyzing a total of 391 microarray samples from 23 different experiments and 2,336 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in multiple stresses were identified. We identified 1,862 genes differentially regulated
