Description
Genome-wide transcriptome analysis was carried out in root tissue of Arabidopsis seedlings treated with gold (Au) as Chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). This study demonstrated remarkable changes in root transcriptome within the 12 h exposure. Most of the genes differentially expressed were related to glutathione binding, methylations, secondary metabolism, sugar metabolism, ABA, ethylene, auxin related signalling, transport and signal-transduction pathways.
