Description
Plant seedlings undergo distinct developmental processes in the dark and in the light. Using an activation-tagging approach, we identified SRS5ox, which overexpresses SHI-RELATED SEQUENCE 5 (SRS5) following induction with estradiol in Arabidopsis thaliana. SRS5 overexpression in SRS5ox seedlings results in a constitutive photomorphogenesis phenotype in the dark. To investigate potential downstream genes of SRS5, the expression levels of genes assayed by RNA-seq in 5-day-old SRS5ox seedlings grown under white light treated with or without estradiol for 2 hours, respectively.
