Expression data of Defensin-like genes (DEFLs) from different parts and treatments of Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: Since most of the DEFLs were recently discovered and many are not well represented on standard microarrays, little is known about their expression pattterns. To address this gap, we have designed a custom Affymetrix microarray (AtMtDEFL array) with known and predicted Arabidopsis and Medicago DEFL genes and the closely related maternally expressed gene family. The custom array was utilized for hybridizations of mRNAs from a wide range of conditions and tissues from both plant species, enabling a comparative analysis in the two model plant species. The custom chip transcript analysis provided the first expression evidence for many of the computationally identified DEFLs previously lacking gene expression evidence, and indicated both common and unique patterns of DEFL gene expression between the two model plant species. The custom designed Affymetrix chip consisting of nearly all DEFLs from Arabidopsis thaliana was used for transcript profiling study in a variety of plant organs, developmental stages, and pathogenic associations totalling 16 different treatments. Each treatment was supported by three biological replicates giving a grand total of 48 samples.

Project description:Salt tolerance in grapevine is associated with the exclusion of chloride ions (ClM-bM-^@M-^S) from the shoot. The rate-limiting step for this process has been identified as the passage of ClM-bM-^@M-^S between the root symplast and the xylem apoplast through membrane integral proteins. To identify candidate genes for these proteins we used a custom microarray to compare the root transcriptomes of three grapevine varieties (Vitis spp.) that differ in their capacity to exclude ClM-bM-^@M-^S from shoots. When challenged with 50 mM ClM-bM-^@M-^S there were transcriptional responses that differed across the rootstocks 140 Ruggeri (a good ClM-bM-^@M-^S excluder) and K51-40 (a poor ClM-bM-^@M-^S excluder), and Cabernet Sauvignon (an intermediate ClM-bM-^@M-^S excluder and Vitis vinifera control). The magnitude of these salt-induced changes correlated with the amount of ClM-bM-^@M-^S accumulated in shoots. Abiotic-stress responsive transcripts (e.g. heat shock proteins) were induced in 140 Ruggeri. Respiratory transcripts were repressed in Cabernet Sauvignon. Expression of hypersensitive response and ROS scavenging transcripts were altered in the sensitive K51-40. Despite these differences, no obvious candidate ClM-bM-^@M-^S transporters were identified from the salt treatment. In contrast, under control conditions where differences in shoot ClM-bM-^@M-^S exclusion between rootstocks were still significant, we identified a number of genes encoding putative ion channels including VvSLAH3, VvALMT1, and possible regulators of these proteins such as VvSnRK2.6 and calcium dependent protein kinases (CDPK) as being differentially expressed between rootstocks. Members of the low affinity nitrate transporter (NRT1), and chloride channel (CLC) families were also identified. We propose these as useful candidates for further study within breeding programs aimed at improving plant salt tolerance in grapevine and other crops. Comparative: genotype versus genotype (control); and control (0 mM Cl) versus salt (50 mM Cl). Rooted leaves were grown as described by Gong et. al. (2010) (Journal of Experimental Botany). After 2 weeks of hydroponic growth, plants were exposed to 0 mM or 50 mM chloride stress for 4 days. Three biological replicates were used for 140 Ruggeri. Four biological replicates were used for Cabernet Sauvignon. Four biological replicates were used for K51-40. Each biological replicate consisted of total roots from four individual plants pooled together.
