Cytokinins (CKs) play an important role in plant growth and development. Also, several studies highlight the modulatory implications of CKs for plant-pathogen interaction. However, the underlying mechanisms of CK mediating immune networks in plants are still not fully understood. A detailed analysis of high-throughput transcriptome (RNA-Seq and microarrays) datasets under modulated conditions of plant CKs and its mergence with cellular interactome (large-scale protein-protein interaction data) has the potential to unlock the contribution of CKs to plant defense. Here, we specifically describe a detailed systems biology methodology pertinent to the acquisition and analysis of various omics datasets that delineate the role of plant CKs in impacting immune pathways in Arabidopsis.
细胞分裂素(CKs)在植物生长发育过程中发挥着重要作用。此外,多项研究强调了CKs对植物与病原体相互作用的调节作用。然而,CK介导植物免疫网络的潜在机制仍未完全明晰。在植物CKs调控条件下对高通量转录组(RNA测序和微阵列)数据集进行详细分析,并将其与细胞相互作用组(大规模蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用数据)相结合,有可能揭示CKs对植物防御的贡献。在此,我们具体描述一种详细的系统生物学方法,该方法与各种组学数据集的获取和分析相关,这些数据集描绘了植物CKs在影响拟南芥免疫途径中的作用。
