Three treatments (3 samples each) were applied to Arabidopsis plants.
RNA-Seq technology was used to determine messenger RNA (mRNA) counts.
These were processed to remove counts for sequences that could not be
identified as corresponding to a gene.
Usage
data("plantStressCounts")
Arguments
Format
The matrix plantStressCounts has 28775 rows,
and 9 columns. Rows have the nondescript names
"Gene1" "Gene2" "Gene3" "Gene4" ... . Columns are
named "CTL1", "CTL2", "CTL3", "Light1", "Light2", "Light3",
"Drought1", "Drought2", "Drought3"
Details
The treatments were:
Control
Plants were grown under normal light and
watering conditions
Light stress
One hour of continuous exposure to light
at ten times the level that the plants are normally grown under
Drought stress
Nine days without water, causing wilting
of the leaves
The interest is in how light and drought stress affect gene
expression to produce proteins.
