Title	Identification of Drought-Related Regulatory Elements in Tomato: A Bioinformatics Approach
Author(s)	Carlisle, Gabriel
Co-author(s)	Matzner, Steven L.; Vitiello, Seasson P.
Abstract	With the threat of climate change and increasing demands for water resources, agricultural produc6on may be more susceptible to drought-related crop losses. Understanding the mechanisms by which plants respond to drought stress is essential. A recent DNA microarray study (Gong et al 2010) identified over 600 differentially expressed genes in tomatoes. A bioinformatics approach for gene analysis was designed with the goal of identifying regulatory elements associated with these differentially expressed genes. In addition, we hope to determine whether these elements work as enhancers or silencers of expression and whether combinatorial gene regulation is occurring within this system. Identification of potential transcription factor binding motifs may provide a clearer understanding of the mechanisms regulating these systems in the differential expression of genes in response to drought.
