Analysis for Stimuli to Shoot Genes of Arabidopsis Thaliana Based on Logical Relationships

The reverse construction and analysis of the networks of molecular interactions are essential for understanding their functions within cells. In this paper, a logic network model is constructed to investigate the complicated regulation mechanism of shoot genes of Arabidopsis Thaliana in response to stimuli. The dynamics of the complicated logic network is analyzed, discussed and simulated. The simulating results show that the logic network of the active genes of shoot eventually evolves into eleven attractors under the stimuli, where including five 1periodic and six 2-periodic attractors. Our work provides valuable reference and guidance for biologists to understand and explain Arabidopsis’ response to outside stimuli by experiments.
