Wheat cold and light stress analysis based on the Arabidopsis homology protein-protein interaction (PPI) network

Light and cold temperature are as two pivotal factors for wheat flowering. To investigate the mechanisms of wheat equipped to reduce cold temperature and light stress, we take advantage of the developed microarray technology. Our analysis revealed that 74 wheat homology genes significantly response to the stress. These genes included; FTSH10, AtCHR12, NF-YB2, HAP3b, GLT1, VHA-A and MPK6, most of which were proved to be involved in the response to cold or light stress. In addition, we identified that DNA replication, spliceosome and mismatch repair pathways were associated with cold and light stress in wheat.
