We also found that CS-responsive genes included some biotic stress responsive genes encoding beta-1,3-glucanase precursor, chitinase, PR-1 protein, and leucine-rich repeat domain.
The Stress-Responsive Transcription Factor DataBase (STIFDB) is as well a collection of abiotic and biotic stress responsive genes from Arabidopsis and Oryza sativa (rice) including the possibility to identify putative binding sites in the promoters of these genes (10, 11).
Biotic stress responsive kinase genes heatmap is generated using log2-transformed fold change values under four stress conditions.
The functional classes over-represented in the hyper-variable group included flavonoid metabolism, biotic stress responsive, and MYB transcription factors.
Considering biotic stress responsive genes in common for FW and SMD, no TUS was found common at the threshold of ≥5 fold difference.
Flavonoids protect plants from microbes and insects [ 48] and the hyper-variable biotic stress responsive class contains numerous disease resistance (R) genes.
Validation of identified biotic stress responsive genes should provide candidate genes for allele mining as well as candidate markers for molecular breeding.
Among the hyper-variable biotic stress responsive class of genes, the Toll/interleukin-1 receptors, nucleotide binding sites, and leucine-rich repeat (TIR-NBS-LRR) family of R genes were highly abundant.
This study provides not only an updated annotation and nomenclature of the GST family in rice, but also the identification of several tissue- and/or developmental stage-specific, hormone-responsive and abiotic and biotic stress-responsive GST genes included in various classes.
This study targeted the involvement of salicylic acid in the activation of abiotic stress-responsive genes, methyl jasmonate and ethylene in regulating biotic stress-responsive genes, and abscisic acid in regulating both biotic and abiotic stress-responsive genes [ 20].
