Transcriptional Profiling of Arabidopsis Root Hairs and Pollen Defines an Apical Growth Signature

ABSTRACT: Despite their different origin and function, both pollen tubes and root hairs share the same sort of apical growth mechanism, i.e., the spatially focused cell expansion at the very apex. Ion fluxes, membrane trafficking, the actin cytoskeleton and their interconnection via signaling networks have been identified as fundamental processes underlying this kind of growth. Several molecules involved in apical growth have been identified, but the genetic basis is far from being fully characterized. We have used Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 GeneChips to obtain the expression profiles of isolated Arabidopsis root hairs. A comparison with the expression profile of flow-sorted pollen grains reveals an overlap in the expression of 4989 genes, which corresponds to 42% of the root hair transcriptome and 76% of the pollen transcriptome, respectively. Our comparison with transcriptional profiles of vegetative tissues by principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering shows a clear separation of these samples comprised of cell types with diffuse growth from the two cell types with apical growth. 277 genes are enriched and 49 selectively expressed, respectively, in root hairs and pollen. From this set of genes emerges an apical growth signature containing novel candidate genes for apical growth determination. Root hairs were isolated from Arabidopsis seedlings and total RNA was isolated for expression profiling on Affymetrix ATH1 arrays. The study was performed with biological duplicates.

Genome-wide analysis of PHABULOSA targets in Arabidopsis root meristem

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.

Transcription profiling of Medicago truncatula root meristem cells

Project description:The root apical meristems (RAM) is established during embryogenesis and serves as a source of stem cells for plant growth and organogenesis. Young roots have a simple structure and meristeamtic and non-meristematic cells can be differentiated based on their location. We have used the Affymetrix Medicago Genome Array GeneChip to compare tissue from the root meristem and non-meristematic tissue to identify meristem specific candidate genes based on changes in gene expression before and after differentiation Experiment Overall Design: Roots were sectioned separating meristematic (root-tip) and non-meristematic root tissue; total RNA was extracted and used for hybridization to Affymetrix arrays

Transcriptome of the exo70A1 mutant

Project description:We characterized two independent insertional mutants of the AtEXO70A1 gene, encoding a subunit of the exocyst complex. Homozygous mutants exhibit a suite of phenotypic defects: polar growth of root hairs and stigmatic papillae is disturbed; organs are generally smaller; plants show loss of apical dominance and an indeterminate growth where instead of floral meristems new lateral inflorescences are initiated in a reiterative manner; exo70A1 mutants have dramatically reduced fertility. These results suggest that EXO70A1 is involved in cell and organ morphogenesis. Keywords: Expression profiling by array 4 samples were used in this experiment

Divergent cytosine DNA methylation patterns in single-cell, soybean root hairs (MethylC-seq)

Project description:Chromatin modifications, such as cytosine methylation of DNA, play a significant role in mediating gene expression in plants, which affects growth, development, and cell differentiation. Since root hairs are single cell extensions of the root epidermis and the primary organs for water uptake and nutrients, we sought to use root hairs as a single cell model system to measure the impact of environmental stress. We measured changes in cytosine DNA methylation in single cell root hairs as compared to multi-cellular stripped roots, as well as in response to heat stress. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in each methylation context showed very distinct methylation patterns between cell types and in response to heat stress. Intriguingly, at normal temperature, root hairs were more hypermethylated as compared to stripped roots. However, in response to heat stress, both root hairs and stripped roots showed more hypomethylation in each context, especially in the mCHH context. Moreover, expression analysis of mRNA from similar tissues and treatments identified some associations between DMRs, genes and transposons. Taken together, the data indicate that changes of dynamic DNA methylation directly or indirectly is associated with expression of genes and transposons either within the context of specific tissues/cells or stress (heat).

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana root parts in reaction to fungal (Laccaria bicolor) volatiles

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown from seeds in Petri dishes on MS medium. 4 days old plants were co-incubated with L. bicolor without physical contact. After 2 days of co-incubation, roots were either harvested whole or separated into the root tip (ca. 1/4 of the whole root) and the lateral root zone (= remaining root).

Cellular and gene expression patterns associated with root bifurcation in Selaginella

Project description:To identify possible molecular mechanisms with a role in root branching initiation in S. moellendorffii, we employed the developmental root branching assay for an RNA-seq experiment and sampled root tips on each day from 0 to 5 d after the first branching (time point 0), in which 300 µm apical parts were sampled to enrich for the meristematic region, while non-meristematic root regions were sampled separately
