3.7 DEGs involved in vesicular trafficking
DEGs identified and annotated as group of genes related to SNARE-domain family of transporter proteins, such as Stx 5,6,7(syntaxin), Sec 20,22 and Ykt6 , were highly up-regulated in response towards the red light treatment (Figure 7). The syntaxin genes (Stx1-4 ), usually found in apical plasma membrane, were up-regulated in red light and down-regulated in blue light treatment. We also identified two unigenes from DEGs annotated asABC family of transporter proteins (ATP-binding cassette sub-family B), which showed same expression trend to syntaxin genes suggesting the involvement of ABCs in vesicular transport, possibly together with SNARE’s (Figure 7).
