Integrating Early Transcriptomic Responses to Rhizotoxins in Rice ( L.) Reveals Key Regulators and a Potential Early Biomarker of Cadmium Toxicity.

As sessile organisms, plants were constantly challenged with biotic and abiotic stresses. Transcriptional activation of stress-responsive genes is a crucial part of the plant adaptation to environmental changes. Here, early response of rice root to eight rhizotoxic stressors: arsenate, copper, cadmium, mercury, chromate, vanadate, ferulic acid and juglone, was analyzed using published microarray data.
