G-protein signaling components have been attributed many biological roles in plants, but the extent of involvement of G-protein coupled receptor 1 ( GCR1 ) with the Gα ( GPA1 ) remained unknown. To address this, we have performed transcriptomic analyses on  Arabidopsis gpa1-5gcr1-5  double mutant and identified 656 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). MapMan and Gene Ontology analyses revealed global transcriptional changes associated with external stimulus, cell wall organization/biogenesis and secondary metabolite process among others. Comparative transcriptomic analyses using the single and double mutants of  gcr1-5  and  gpa1-5  identified 194, 139 and 391 exclusive DEGs respectively, whereas 64 DEGs were common to all three mutants. Further, pair wise comparison of DEGs of double mutant with single mutants of  gcr1-5  or  gpa1-5  showed about one-third and over half common DEGs, respectively. Further analysis of the DEGs exclusive to the double mutant using protein-protein interaction networks revealed molecular complexes associated with nitrate and light signaling and plant-pathogen interactions among others. Physiological and molecular validation of nitrate-response revealed the sensitivity of germination to low N in the double mutant and differential expression of nitrate transporter (and nitrate reductase in all three mutants). Taken together,  GCR1  and  GPA1  work in partnership as well as independently to regulate different pathways.
