“…Those red cells showed dramatically different transcriptional profiles from wild-type cells (Shi and Xie 2011) and these global gene expression alterations were not observed in Tohge's experiments either. Particularly, in red cells, expression levels of a large number of genes involved in glycolysis, amino metabolisms, photosynthesis and other metabolic pathways were significantly decreased (Shi and Xie 2011). In addition, the discrepancy might result from the speciesspecific responses to the over-expressed PAP1 protein.…”
