  Abstract

By adopting two distinct types of comprehensive transcriptome datasets, which are available for public, we asked the critical question as to whether or not there is any significant correlation between the diurnally oscillating genes during the light/dark daily cycle and the hormone-responsive genes. The hormones, concerned in this study, were abscisic acid, ethylene, brassinosteroid, cytokinin, gibberellin, auxin, and jasmonate. Here, it was revealed that the expressions of a significantly large number of abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive and/or methyl jasmonate (MJ)-responsive genes oscillate diurnally and robustly during the light/dark cycle. The results of this study implied that some aspects of plant stress responses, basically mediated by ABA and/or MJ, might be regulated daily thought the clock function at the level of transcription in order to prepare properly against common ambient stresses by anticipating the diurnal day/night cycle.
