Hormones exert pleiotropic effects on plant growth and development throughout the life cycle. many of these effects are mediated at molecular level via altering gene expression. in this study, we investigated the exogenous effect of plant hormones, including auxin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid, on the transcription of rice genes at whole genome level using microarray. our analysis identified a total of 4171 genes involved in several biological processes, whose expression was altered significantly in the presence of different hormones. Further, 28% of these genes exhibited overlapping transcriptional responses in the presence of any two hormones, indicating crosstalk among plant hormones. in addition, we identified genes showing only a particular hormone-specific response, which can be used as hormone-specific markers. the results of this study will facilitate further studies in hormone biology in rice.
