TL;DR: Together results from all three stresses identified 2,409 genes with a greater than 2-fold change over control, suggesting that about 30% of the transcriptome is sensitive to regulation by common stress conditions, and supporting the hypothesis that an important function of the circadian clock is to “anticipate” predictable stresses such as cold nights.

TL;DR: Although a number of genes involved in ethylene, jasmonic acid, and abscisic acid pathways were activated, many in auxin responses were suppressed by wounding and the nature of mechanical wounding as a stress signal was dissected.

TL;DR: Interestingly, these inhibitor-mediated changes were not reflected in altered gene expression levels of the genes involved in sterol, chlorophyll, and carotenoid metabolism, indicating that posttranscriptional processes may play an important role in regulating flux through isoprenoid metabolic pathways.

TL;DR: Microarray hybridization revealed co-ordinated changes in gene expression in response to infection by diverse viruses, which suggest that diverse RNA viruses elicit common responses in susceptible plant hosts through signaling pathways that have not been previously characterized.
