Noncoding RNAs responsive to nitric oxide and their protein-coding gene targets shed light on root hair formation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: An overview of the total Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome, described previously by our research group, pointed some noncoding RNA (ncRNA) as participants in the restoration of hair-root phenotype in A. thaliana rhd6 mutants, leading us to a deeper investigation. A transcriptional gene expression profiling of seedling roots was performed aiming to identify ncRNA responsive to nitric oxide (GSNO) and auxin (IAA), and their involvement in root hair formation in the rhd6 null mutant. We identified 3,631 ncRNAs, including new ones, in A. thaliana and differential expression (DE) analysis between the following: 1) GSNO-treated rhd6 vs. untreated rhd6, 2) IAA-treated rhd6 vs. untreated rhd6, 3) GSNO-treated rhd6 vs. IAA-treated r
