This is a conclusion drawn on the strong correlation between LEA transcript accumulation and water loss, rapid decline in transcript levels upon rehydration, and especially as LEA gene expression relates to the programmed desiccation stage of seed maturation.
The patterns of expression were consistent among samples of the same treatment, with considerable decline in transcript accumulation in MFSV treatment after feeding on virus infected maize for 4 h.
Microarray studies of shoot tissues of Vitis vines exposed to water-deficit stress also showed a decline in transcript abundance for cell wall metabolism genes [ 24], and similar processes appear to occur in berries.
Conversely, Klf2 and Tiparp displayed pulse-like rapid upregulation within 1 3 h followed by a decline in transcript level, which in the case of Klf2 reaches baseline; a similar biphasic pattern of expression was observed for Tgfb3, Il15ra and Mt2.
S100A10 by exception declined in transcript abundance (exC8).
Two genes showed increased expression (AQP3 and RPL37) while three genes declined in transcript counts in the CIN III libraries (ANXA2, GJA1 and LGALS7).
The decrease in HspX protein levels in Comp5 bacteria paralleled the decline in hspX transcripts on day 5 (Fig. 4C).
This correlated well with a marked decline in luciferase transcripts in the pancreas (Fig. 2b).
The role of peroxynitrite is supported by the fact that exposing cells to this anion causes a decline in mtRNA transcripts (Ballinger et al., 2000).
