Microarray-based screening of jasmonate-responsive genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Jasmonates comprise a family of plant hormones that regulate gene expression to modulate diverse developmental and defensive processes. To screen a set of jasmonate-responsive Arabidopsis genes, we performed a microarray analysis using an Affymetrix GeneChip® containing about 8,300 gene probes synthesized in situ. External treatment with 100 μM methyl jasmonate resulted in significant changes (more than twofold increases or decreases) in the...
