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).
