Effective concentrations of potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) to rice seedlings were experimentally determined using relative growth rate as a sensitive endpoint. Agilent 44-K rice microarray was used to profile the molecular responses of rice seedlings exposed to thiocyanate ion (SCN⁻) at three different effective concentrations (EC₁₀, EC₂₀, and EC₅₀). A total of 18,498 known genes were collected from SCN-treated rice microarray analysis. Out of all, 1603, 1882, and 5085 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed at EC₁₀, EC₂₀, and EC₅₀ concentrations, respectively. More upregulated/downregulated DEGs were detected in shoots than in roots after SCN⁻ exposure. Gene functions and pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs indicated that different effective concentrations of SCN⁻ resulted in multiple enriched GO categories and KEGG pathways and outcomes were quite tissue-specific. Different regulations and adaptations of gene expression in molecular function (MF), biological process (BP), and cellular components (CC) were observed in rice tissues at different effective concentrations of SCN⁻, suggesting their different responsive and adaptive strategies. Information collected here presents a detailed description of SCN-induced alternations of gene expression in rice seedlings and provide valuable information for further searching specific genes participating in transportation, phytotoxic responses, and detoxification of SCN⁻ in rice seedlings.
