Gene expression in hemera mutants in red light condition
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The hemera (hmr) mutant was identified as the first photomorphogenetic mutant with the combination of long hypocotyl and albino phenotypes in the light. Phytochrome-Interacting bHLH transcription Factors (PIFs), which are repressors of photomorphogenesis accumulate in darkness and are degraded in the light in a phytochrome-dependent manner. Two PIFs, PIF1 and PIF3 accumulated in the light in hmr mutants. In order to determine the gene expression of PIF-dependent genes in hmr mutants in the light, we have performed whole-genome expression analysis on two hmr mutants: a null allele, hmr-5; and a weak allele, hmr-22. Wild-type (Col-0) and hmr mutant seeds were surface-sterilized and plated on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) growth medium without sucrose. The seeds were stratified in the dark at 4ºC for 4d. Seedlings were grown in constant red light (Rc, 10?mol/m2/s) at 21°C for 4d.
