Popis: Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has a significant effect on plant growth and development. To explore the elevated-CO2 response, we generated transcriptional profiles over a time course (2 h–14 days) of exposure to elevated CO2 in Arabidopsis thaliana. Genes related to photosynthesis were down-regulated and circadian rhythm-related genes were abnormally regulated in the early to middle phase of elevated CO2 exposure. To understand the novel mechanism of elevated CO2 signaling, we focused on 42 unknown small coding genes that showed differential expression patterns under elevated CO2 conditions. Four transgenic plants overexpressing the small coding gene exhibited a growth-defective phenotype under elevated CO2 but not under current CO2. Transcriptome analysis showed that circadian rhythm-related genes were commonly regulated in four transgenic plants. These circadian rhythm-related genes were transcribed in the dark when CO2 concentrations in the leaf was high. Taken together, our identified four small coding genes are likely to participate in elevated CO2 signaling to the circadian rhythm. Transcriptome analysis was performed under elevated CO2 condition in Arabidopsis thaliana. We identified small coding genes associated with signal molecules from elevated CO2 to circadian rhythm genes.
