Gene expression characteristics of growth-inhibited rice seedlings induced by low-energy N⁺-beam implantation

Using the RNA sequencing, transcriptomes of growth-inhibited rice seedlings induced by low-energy N+-beam implantation were analyzed. The results showed that rice genes related to binding, electron carrier activity, transcription factor, auxin signal transduction, photosynthesis, and oxidoreductase activity were involved in the response to ion-beam implantation. Moreover, low-energy N+-beam implantation can induce the reactivation of the repressed rice transposable elements. These data are a useful resource for plant ion-beam implantation research.
