Abstract

To investigate the abscisic acid and salt stress on Arabidopsis and find the potential response genes, we collected the gene expression profiles of Arabidopsis under abscisic acid (ABA) and salt stress from NCBI, and merge the 2 different datasets by meta-analysis method. Thus, the different expressed genes identified from the merged data presented the responses of Arabidopsis under both abscisic acid and salt stress. We found that the genes ALDH7B4, ATTSPO, ANAC019, AZF2, and ATADH1 are induced upon both abiotic stress and abscisic acid and identified that expansion domain is highly related to both abiotic stress and abscisic acid.
