Project description:Downstream genes of PtVNS genes were explored with inducible expression system using glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Transgenic poplar plants expressing 35S:AtVND7-VP16-GR were treated with dexamethazone (DEX). A number of genes related to the formation of xylem vessels were induced by DEX.

Project description:Direct target genes of VND7 were explored with inducible expression system using glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Transgenic plants expressing 35S:VND7-VP16-GR were treated with dexamethazone (DEX) and/or protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX). A number of genes related to the formation of vascular vessel was induced by DEX even in the presence of CHX. Total RNAs of the transgenic plants expressing 35S:VND7-VP16-GR treated with DEX plus CHX and those treated with CHX only were compared. As a control experiment, transgenic plants harboring empty vector were treated similarly and the total RNAs were compared similarly to identify genes merely induced by DEX treatment itself.

Project description:Plants typically contain two different types of cell walls: a primary wall that is being deposited around all growing cells, and a secondary wall that is produced in cells with specialized functions once they have ceased to grow. In Arabidopsis, VND7 is a transcription factor that is sufficient to activate secondary cell wall synthesis. To artificially turn on the secondary cell wall synthesis, VND7 was fused to the activation domain of the herpes virus VP16 protein and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) domain. Thus, the transgenic plants harbouring the constructs can then be treated with dexamethasone (DEX), a glucocorticoid derivative, to induce the secondary cell wall formation. We used microarrays to investigate the global program of gene expression during the secondary cell wall development and identified up- and down-regulated genes associated with this process. Cultures were harvested at indicated time points after induction (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 30, 48 h) and at time point zero (0). Uninduced cultures (DMSO instead of DEX) served as controls for each time point, and thus, 48 microarray analyses for 8 time points (3 biological reps) for +/- induced VND7-VP16-GR cultures, and 3 arrays for time 0h. To ensure that the DEX did not influence the measurements, an empty vector construct (EV), i.e., without the VND7 gene, VP16-GR, was used at three time points, i.e., VP16-GR +/- DEX at 9h, 12h, and 24h after DEX induction.

Project description:A glucocorticoid-regulated BBM protein (35S:BBM-GR) was used in combination with microarray analysis to identify genes directly activated by BBM. We employed the system described by (Lloyd et al., 1994) in which dexamethasone (DEX) and cycloheximide (CHX) are applied together to respectively, induce nuclear localization of the BBM-GR protein and prevent translation of the primary targets mRNAs. In this way it is possible to identify direct targets of a transcriptional activator by comparing gene expression profiles between DEX+CHX-treated transgenic and wild-type tissues. The ability of the 35S:BBM GR construct to induce somatic embryogenesis in Arabidopsis seedlings was determined by phenotypic observation of 35S:BBM GR seeds germinated and grown in the presence of 10 µM dexamethasone (DEX). As in 35S:BBM seedlings, we observed somatic embryo formation on the cotyledons, first leaves and shoot meristem of DEX-treated 35S:BBM GR seedlings. We identified a set of 20 genes (including BBM itself) and our analysis indicates that BBM directly activates a signaling pathway comprising transcription factors and other signaling molecules, but which does not initially include genes known to induce somatic embryogenesis, such as LEC1, LEC2 or WUS. The functions of the BBM target genes are unknown, however a number of them have recently been identified in microarray screens for meristem-expressed genes. The identification of BBM-interacting partners and downstream targets provides new tools for unraveling pathways related to plant cell growth and organogenesis. Keywords: transcriptional activation To identify candidate BBM targets, we treated 4 day old 35S:BBM-GR seedlings for 8 hours with 10 µM DEX in the presence of 10 µM CHX and compared the mRNA population from these seedlings using Arabidopsis Operon microarrays (http://www.ag.arizona.edu/microarray/) to that of 4 day old wild-type seedlings treated in the same way. The seed batches used in this analysis showed 100% EFS when grown continuously on media with 10 µM DEX. Four day old seedlings were chosen as the experimental material because they are highly responsive to BBM GR activation and provide sufficient RNA for the microarray experiments. The biological reproducibility of the data was monitored using two independent single locus 35S:BBM GR lines. The technical reproducibility of the data was monitored using two independently DEX + CHX-treated samples from each transgenic line. Dye effects were monitored in a dye-swap experiment using one of the four RNA samples from the two biological replicates

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, cytokinin responsive B-type ARR transcription factors and HD-ZIP III transcription factors such as REVOLUTA (REV), act cooperatively as master regulators of shoot regeneration. To identify the downstream targets of ARR-HD-ZIP III transcriptional complex, we used an inducible line of REV, 35S::FLAG-GR-rREV, in which FLAG-tagged miR165/6-non-targetable form of REV (rREV)-GR fusion protein was expressed from 35S promoter. DEX treatment induced activation of REV by translocation of FLAG-GR-rREV fusion protein from cytoplasm to the nucleus. We treated 35S::FLAG-GR-rREV seedlings with 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA, a cytokinin), dexamethasone (DEX), or 6-BA+DEX for 2 hours. Total RNAs were extracted and subjected to Agilent Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray analyses. The differentially expressed genes (>1.5-fold, p<0.05) were identified. 10-day-old 35S::FLAG-GR-rREV plants were treated with 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), dexamethasone (DEX), or 6-BA+DEX for 2 hours. DEX treatment induced activation of REV by translocation of FLAG-GR-rREV fusion protein from cytoplasm to the nucleus. Total RNA was extracted with RNeasy Mini Kit and hybridized to Agilent Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray. Differentially expressed genes were defined by a 1.5-fold expression difference with a P value<0.05. Biological replicates were performed.

Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) is expressed in the boundary between the shoot apical meristem and initiating lateral organs. To identify genes regulated by LOB activity, we used an inducible 35S:LOB-GR line. This analysis identified genes that are differentially expressed in response to ectopic LOB activity. 35S:LOB-GR and Col wild-type seedlings were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) or mock-treated. Three biological replicates were conducted for each treatment.

Project description:Global expression of the Arabidopsis transcriptional regulator SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) in a 35S:STM-GR transgenic line was induced for 3 hours with dexamethasone (DEX) compared to mock-induced (DMSO) control. Additionally,to identify direct targets, plants were treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) together with DEX, compared to CHX treatment alone.
