Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) Transcriptomic Responses to Jasmonic Acid
An RNA-Seq experiment was conducted on switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) seedlings to analyze transcriptomic responses resulting from the application of jasmonic acid (JA). Briefly, seedlings at the four-leaf stage were sprayed with water containing 0.05% DMSO, 0.02% Tween 20, and either no JA (control), 50 micro-molar JA, or 500 micro-molar JA. Aerial tissues were sampled at 6, 24, and 72 hours post application for transcriptomic analysis.
