TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used mRNA profiles generated from microarray experiments to deduce the functions of genes encoding known and putative Arabidopsis transcription factors, showing that transcription factors are important in regulating plant responses to environmental stress.

TL;DR: Despite high similarity between responses mediated by the R genes R PS2 and RPM1 in wild-type plants, RPS2-mediated responses were strongly suppressed by the ndr1 mutation and the NahG transgene, whereas RPM1- mediated responses were not, which is consistent with the resistance phenotypes of these plants.

TL;DR: In this article, methods to identify genes, the expression of which are altered in response to pathogen infection, as well as the genes identified thereby and their corresponding promoters are provided.

TL;DR: Most genes in the starch biosynthetic pathway show multiple distinct spatial and temporal expression patterns, suggesting that different isoforms of a given enzyme are expressed in different tissues and at different developmental stages.

TL;DR: The designed and used a high-density oligonucleotide probe array (GeneChip) to profile global gene expression patterns of Arabidopsis thaliana, providing insight into the coordinated transcriptional regulation of the genes during plant growth and development.
