Project description:Transcriptome expression analysis in peanut to date has been limited to a relatively small set of genes and only recently have moderately significant number of ESTs has been released into the public domain. Utilization of these ESTs for the oligonucleotide microarrays provides a means to investigate large-scale transcript responses to a variety of developmental and environmental signals, ultimately improving our understanding of plant biology. We have developed a high-density oligonucleotide microarray for peanut using approximately 47,767 publicly available ESTs and tested the utility of this array for expression profiling in a variety of peanut tissues. To identify putatively tissue-specific genes and investigate the utility of this array, we compared transcript levels in pod to peg, leaf, stem, and root tissues. Results from this experiment showed a number of putatively pod-specific/abundant genes, as well as transcripts whose expression was low or undetected in pod compared to either peg, leaf, or stem. Keywords: Peanut tissue-specific gene expression We used Agilent peanut gene chips (017430) to identify putative tissue-specific genes and investigate the utility of the array for expression profiling of various peanut tissues. Pod, leaf, stem, peg and root tissues of the peanut genotype Flavrunner 458 were used in the study. Field grown plants under normal irrigation were used for sample collection. Three replications of microarray experiments were carried out by hybridizing the cRNA from pod tissue and cRNA from leaf, stem, peg and root tissues on the same dual color oligonucleotide arrays.

Project description:'Systems-wide' approaches such as microarray RNA-profiling are ideally suited to the study of the complex, overlapping responses of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, commercial microarrays are only available for a limited number of plant species and development costs are so substantial as to be prohibitive for most research groups. Here, we evaluate the use of cross-hybridisation to Affymetrix oligonucleotide GeneChip microarrays to profile the response of the banana (Musa sp.) leaf transcriptome to drought stress using a genomic DNA (gDNA)-based probe-selection strategy to improve the efficiency of detection of differentially expressed Musa transcripts. GeneChip analyses were performed to profile the response of the banana (Musa sp.) leaf transcriptome to drought stress using a genomic DNA (gDNA)-based probe-selection strategy to improve the efficiency of detection of differentially expressed Musa transcripts.

Project description:SHORT-ROOT (SHR) and SCARECROW (SCR) are required for stem cell maintenance in the Arabidopsis thaliana root meristem, ensuring its indeterminate growth. Mutation of SHR and SCR genes results in disorganization of the quiescent center and loss of stem cell activity, resulting in the cessation of root growth. This manuscript reports on the role of SHR and SCR in the development of leaves, which, in contrast to the root, have a determinate growth pattern and lack a persistent stem-cell niche. Our results demonstrate that inhibition of leaf growth in shr and scr mutants is not a secondary effect of the compromised root development, but is caused by a direct effect on cell division in the leaves: a reduced cell division rate and early exit of proliferation phase. Consistent with the observed cell division phenotype, the expression of SHR and SCR genes in leaves is closely associated with cell division activity in most cell types. The increased cell cycle duration is due to a prolonged S-phase duration, which is mediated by up-regulation of cell cycle inhibitors known to restrain the activity of the transcription factor, E2Fa. Therefore, we conclude that, in contrast to their specific role in cortex/endodermis differentiation and stem cell maintenance in the root, SHR and SCR primarily function as general regulators of cell proliferation in leaves. Total RNAs were extracted using RNeasy plant mini kit (Qiagen) from vegetative part of seedlings at stage 1.04 grown in vitro. RNAs from three biological repeats of wild type (wt, control) and scr and shr mutants were submitted to ATH1 array hybridization.

Project description:We report the discovery of a root growth program in Arabidopsis that is independent of a functional quiescent center (QC). In this regulatory program, PHABULOSA (PHB), posttranscriptionally regulated by SHR and SCR, plays a central role. In phb shr and phb scr mutants, root meristem/growth activity recovers significantly. Interestingly, this recovery does not accompany the resurgence of QC cells. PHB regulates apical root growth in stele cells of the root meristem, located proximal to the QC. Our genome-wide investigation suggests that PHB exerts its influence on root growth by regulating auxin-cytokinin homeostasis. Apical root growth was restored when cytokinin levels were genetically reduced in the shr mutant. Conversely, when miRNA-resistant PHB was expressed in the root stele cells, apical root growth and meristem functions were significantly inhibited without blocking the QC identity. Taken together, our investigation reveals two mechanisms through which SHR regulates root growth and stem cell activities: one is to specify and maintain the QC and the other is to regulate the proximal meristem activity through PHB and cytokinin. In this regulation, QC seems to be more involved in maintaining the M-bM-^@M-^\growth signalM-bM-^@M-^] and thus ensure the indeterminate root growth. Total 7 samples (2 replicates of shr-2 mutant (high PHABULOSA expression) vs. 2 replicates of shr-2 phb-6 (low/absent PHABULOSA expression). 3 replicates of Wild type used as reference sample.

Project description:Leaf rate elongation is extremely sensitive to soil water status. Global gene expression of the leaf elongation zone was profiled at three different levels of soil moisture in two genotypes. Leaf elongation in IR64 is more sensitive to decreased soil moisture than in moroberekan. 2 genotypes: IR64, Moroberekan; 3 treatments: FTSW 1, FTSW 0.5, FTSW 0.2

Project description:Leaf explants of the superembryogenic Medicago truncatula line 2HA were treated with auxin (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) for one week to induce the formation of roots (Imin et al J Exp Bot 58:439-451). Gene expression in the leaves and the NAA treated tissue cultures was compared to identify transcripts expressed during the commitment to root formation in tissue culture. We have used the Affymetrix Medicago Genome Array GeneChip to compared gene expression in Medicago truncatula leaves and leaf explants that have been cultured for one week on NAA, to identify genes expressed during the commitment to root formation in tissue culture. Experiment Overall Design: Medicago truncatula 2HA leaves and leaf explants treated with NAA for one week were collected; total RNA was extracted and used for hybridization to Affymetrix arrays

Project description:The molecular responses of Grey poplar (Populus x canescens) following root hypoxia were studied in roots and leaves using transcript profiling. Grey poplar is a flooding tolerant tree species and analysis of the molecular response to hypoxia may indicate possible adaptation mechanisms to this stress. Experiment Overall Design: The root system of the poplar trees were flooded for up to 168 h. At three time-points (5 h, 24 h, 168 h) plants were collected and leaf and root tissue analysed separately. At each time-point non-flooded controls were collected and analysed as well.
