“…Transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis leaves and roots treated with 1 mM GSNO for 3 h revealed differential expression of 3263 genes involved in many physiological processes, including biotic and abiotic stress tolerance (Begara-Morales et al, 2014 ). Similarly, other Arabidopsis transcriptome analyses have been performed to measure responses to various stimuli such as oxidative stress (Desikan et al, 2001 ), nitrogen limitation (Peng et al, 2007 ), phosphate starvation (Woo et al, 2012 ), nanoparticles (García-Sánchez et al, 2015 ), cold stress (Zou and Yu, 2010 ), salt stress and ABA treatment (Matsui et al, 2008 ), auxin (Paponov et al, 2008 ), insect attack (Kempema et al, 2007 ; Ehlting et al, 2008 ), metal toxicity (Weber et al, 2006 ), and fumigation with sulfur (Zhao and Yi, 2014 ). Similar transcriptome analyses in Arabidopsis have also been performed at a more basal level to understand physiological functions such as plant defense (Eulgem, 2005 ; Ditt et al, 2006 ; Postnikova and Nemchinov, 2012 ; Weeda et al, 2014 ), development (Gandotra et al, 2013 ), and embryogenesis (Li et al, 2007 ), whereas other studies have investigated transcriptomics in relation to various specific tissues or organs, including pollen (Grennan, 2007 ; Zou and Yu, 2010 ), anthers (Feng et al, 2012 ), floral parts (Zhang et al, 2015 ), root hairs (Jones et al, 2006 ), guard cells (Wang et al, 2011 ), and leaves (Gandotra et al, 2013 ).…”
