Dynamic enhancer transcription associates with reprogramming of immune genes during pattern triggered immunity in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enhancers are cis-regulatory elements present in eukaryote genomes, which constitute indispensable determinants of gene regulation by governing the spatiotemporal and quantitative expression dynamics of target genes, and are involved in multiple life processes, for instance during development and disease states. The importance of enhancer activity has additionally been highlighted for immune responses in animals and plants; however, the dynamics of enhancer activities and molecular functions in plant innate immunity are largely unknown. Here, we investigated the involvement of distal enhancers in early innate immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Results

A group of putative distal enhancers producing low-abundance transcripts either unidirectionally or bidirectionally
