    　View Summary

    Isoprene emitted from terrestrial vegetation plays an important role in tropospheric chemistry. In order to clarify the temperature dependent molecular regulation of isoprene emission, we carried out a comprehensive analysis of the RNA-seq data set by using correlation analysis, network constructions and co-expression analysis. Results revealed a very close association of isoprene emission and IspS gene to genes in the plant hormone signal transduction pathway and circadian clock elements. Transcript levels of 29 genes in these pathways were validated by qRT-PCR. The upstream promoter region of IspS was also cloned and several putative cis-regulatory elements identified were consistent with transcriptional regulation in response to light, heat, temperature, plant hormones and circadian rhythmicity
