Plants respond and adapt to drought, cold, and high-salinity stresses. Stress-inducible gene products function in the stress response and tolerance in plants. Using cDNA microarrays and oligonucleotide microarrays, stress-inducible genes have been identified in various plant species so far. Recently, tiling array technology has become a powerful tool for the whole-genome transcriptome analysis. We applied the Arabidopsis Affymetrix tiling arrays to study the whole-genome transcriptome under drought, cold, and high-salinity stresses and identified a large number of drought, cold, and high-salinity stress-inducible genes and transcriptional units (TUs).
