Tomato wild type, vector control and transgenic lines expressing InsP 5-ptase: mature fruits, root tips, and leaves

Experiment description: To reduce the level of major second messenger inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3), we generated transgenic tomato plants (cv. Micro-Tom) that are expressing InsP 5-ptase gene. To understand effects of transgene (InsP 5-ptase) on gene expression we carried out microarray analysis from different parts of transgenic and control (wild type, empty vector control) tomato plants.<br><br>Objectives for this study included the identification of genes that were up or down-regulated at the transcriptional level in transgenic tomato plants expressing InsP 5-ptase gene
