Abstract

Drought being a major challenge for crop productivity and yield affects multigenic and quantitative traits. It is also well documented that water stress shows a cross talk with other abiotic stresses such as high temperature and high light intensities (Tripathi et al., 2013) [1]. In this report, we documented the details of the methods and quality controls used and considered in our time course-based transcriptome profile of soybean plants under water deficit conditions using microarray technology. The findings of this study are recently published by the Rushton lab in BMC Genomics for a comparative study of tobacco and Soybean (Rabara et al., 2015) [2]. The raw microarray data set is deposited in GEO database with accession number GSE49537.
