Gravitropic Signal Transduction: A Systems Approach to Gene Discovery Kaiyu Shen Gravity is an important stimulus for plants. Gravitropism, the plants’ response to gravity, can be divided into three phases: gravity perception, signal transduction and response. Various theories have been proposed to explain the process of gravitropism, yet more genes are needed to elucidate the mechanism of gravitropic signal transduction. A transcriptome analysis, in combination with the Gravity Persistent Signal treatment, was performed to specifically study the genes involved in signal transduction. A list of differentially expressed genes was discovered, and five selected for further physiological validation. In addition to the standard analysis of differentially expressed genes, a systematic approach was adopted to uncover more gravity related genes. semi-supervised learning method was applied to find novel gravity genes. A This learning method took a set of known gravity genes as well as a collection of heterogeneous annotation features as input and generated a list of genes that are functionally related to gravity signal transduction. Based on the list of gravity related genes, a potential interaction network was predicted based two approaches: a dynamic Bayesian network and a time-lagged correlation coefficient. The intersection of these networks was further investigated for hub and bottleneck genes. Such an approach provides a framework to extend current research in a more comprehensive manner.
