Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals significant differences in the regulation of gene expression between hydrogen cyanide- and ethylene-treated Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a small gaseous molecule that is predominantly produced as an equimolar co-product of ethylene (ET) biosynthesis in plants. The function of ET is of great concern and is well studied; however, the function of HCN is largely unknown. Similar to ET, HCN is a simple and diffusible molecule that has been shown to play a regulatory role in the control of some metabolic processes in plants. Nevertheless, it is still controversial whether HCN should be regarded as a signalling molecule, and the cross-talk between HCN and ET in gene expression regulation remains unclear. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to compare the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between HCN and ET in Arabidopsis. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia o
