Description
We tracked the gene expression events following treatment of maize seedlings with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress agent tunicamycin. ER stress elicits the unfolded protein response (UPR) and when plants are faced with persistent stress, the UPR transitions from an adaptive or cell survival phase to programmed cell death. Overall design: Each sample was collected in 3 biological replicates and two technical replicates.
