Impact of the sickle mutant and temperature on the structure of transcripts and RNAs from Arabidopsis thaliana.

The data set is RNAseq profiling of Arabidopsis (Col-0 ecotype) wild type and sic-3 seedlings under 16 °C or 28 °C. A comprehensive view of global mRNA sequences and their content was captured by deep sequencing of RNA pools made from sets of seedlings sampled every 4 h over 20 h. This data set contains sequences representing the spectrum of mRNA splice variants from individual genes, as well as from mRNA-related sequences like spliced introns. This data set enables detection of significant changes in gene-level expression and relative levels of mRNA splice variants caused by the different growth temperatures, the sic-3 mutation or both factors. This data set is useful to study production of mRNA splice variants and other mRNA-related RNAs in a range of plant species because Arabidopsis is a model plant.
