A comparison of heat-stress transcriptome changes between wild-type Arabidopsis pollen and a heat-sensitive mutant harboring a knockout of cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel 16 (cngc16)
Abstract Background In flowering plants, the male gametophyte (pollen) is one of the most vulnerable cells to temperature stress. In Arabidopsis thaliana, a pollen-specific C yclic N ucleotide- G ated cation C hannel 16 (cngc16), is required for plant reproduction under temperature-stress conditions...

To understand the underlying cause, RNA-Seq was used to compare the pollen transcriptomes of wild type (WT) and cngc16 under normal and heat stress (HS) conditions. Results Here we show that a heat-stress response (HSR) in WT pollen resulted in 2102 statistically significant transcriptome changes (≥ 2-fold changes with adjusted p-value ≤0.01), representing approximately 15% of 14,226 quantified transcripts.
