The finding of numerous transcripts for serpins and cystatins in the D. variabilis midgut suggests an important role for those proteins in innate immune defense.
Differences in the abundance of numerous transcripts, for example Kif5b, Cap1, Pam, Gas5, Pttg1 [ 20], are in agreement with the results presented in this report.
Results of this study indicate that the expression of the PVX-derived P25 VSRS in transgenic tobacco plants leads to enhanced accumulation of numerous transcripts (total of 1354) in the leaves, but changes the levels of only a few transcripts in the flowers of these plants.
Further on, numerous transcripts (total of 79) for different transcription factors, some of them known to be regulated by ERF1 or by JA [ 47], were enhanced in the P25-expressing plants.
More interestingly, resistance in V. riparia also involves the specific modulation of numerous transcripts encoding components of signal transduction cascades, hypersensitive reaction markers and genes involved in jasmonate biosynthesis.
Hence, while a loss of Esrp expression is likely to play a major role in splicing of numerous transcripts, alterations in expression of some of these other candidate regulators may also contribute to splicing shifts in some targets.
There were also marked changes in the expression of numerous transcripts involved in antioxidative defence, most of which were downregulated.
This approach is capable of analyzing for the presence of numerous transcripts when polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is subsequently employed for individual gene-specific sequence amplification (HD-MRT-PCR).
Water deficit activated the expression of numerous transcripts associated with glutamate and proline biosynthesis and some committed steps of the phenylpropanoid pathway that increased anthocyanin concentrations in Cabernet Sauvignon.
While several miRNAs may regulate just one mRNA, these results demonstrate another type of regulation where a single miRNA can regulate numerous transcripts, elevating the complexity of cellular processes.
