Workflow for mining and characterization of drought transcriptional modules. (1a) Reconstruction and clustering of the rice environmental coexpression network from publicly available gene expression datasets. (1b) Identification of drought-responsive genes in the three developmental stages. (2) Determination of ‘drought’ clusters based on the combination of results from the steps 1a and 1b, and extraction of whole cluster and specific drought gene sets (3) Functional enrichment analysis and cis-regulatory motif discovery. (4) Presentation of these data to the user where (s)he explores the results to identify candidate genes for functional validation. (5) Availability of mutants in genes of interest that can be used to study gene function.
