Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis thalina seedlings in response to high (140 M-BM-5M) and low (20 M-BM-5M) concentrations of chromate (K2CrO4). Low concentrations of chromate (e.g. 40 M-BM-5M) promoted primary root growth, while high concentrations (e.g. 140 M-BM-5M) repressed growth and increased formation of root hairs, lateral roots and adventitious roots. Three-condition experiment, high (140 M-BM-5M) and low (20 M-BM-5M) concentrations of chromate (K2CrO4) vs non-chromate added (Control). Four biological replicates, one replicate per array.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of three mexican maize landraces under 10, and 17 days stress and recovery irrigation A dye balanced modified loop design was implemented. Two biological replicates (pooling five representative plants) representing each sampling point for each genotype were obtained for purified RNA from 120 randomly chosen seedlings. This experiment involved a total of forty-eight (24 sets) of microarray hybridizations, including direct and dye swap comparisons between treatments as well as across the three landraces. This design allowed us to determine differences in gene expression between the three different landraces under drought stress (10 and 17 days) and at recovery irrigation compared to irrigated controls.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 6 days-old Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 seedlings transfered to alkamide decanamide-containing medium in a 1, 3, 7 and 14 d time course period. Keywords: Pharmacological A dye balanced modified loop design was implemented. Four biological replicates representing each sampling point were obtained by pooling in a 1:1 proportion shoot and root purified RNA from 120 randomly chosen seedlings. This experiment involved a total of sixteen sets of microarray hybridizations, including direct and dye swap comparisons between treatments as well as across time points for the same treatment. This design allowed us to determine differences in gene expression between N-isobutyl decanamide-treated and control seedlings, and whether the differences were time dependent.

Project description:Five members of the Arabidopsis thaliana NF-YA gene family are strongly induced by several stress conditions via transcriptional and miR169-related posttranscriptional mechanisms. These transcription factors participate in gene regulation via two different mechanisms, one depending on binding to the CCAAT-box in the promoter of regulated genes and the other, independent of the CCAAT-box, in which NF-YA prevents the interaction of the NF-YB/YC heterodimer with transcription factors. Three biological and two technical (in swap) replicates for each genotype were obtained for each treatment (DMSO (mock) and estradiol 24h after induction). Mock samples were pooled and used as a reference.

Project description:Deep sequencing of Arabidopsis thaliana small RNAs was conducted to reveal microRNAs (miRNAs) and other small RNAs that were differentially expressed in response to phosphate (Pi) deficiency. About 3.5 million sequence reads corresponding to 0.6-1.2 million unique sequence tags from each Pi-sufficient or -deficient root or shoot sample were mapped to the Arabidopsis genome. We showed that upon Pi deprivation, the expression of miR156, miR399, miR778 and miR827 was induced, whereas the expression of miR169, miR395 and miR398 was repressed. We found crosstalks coordinated by these miRNAs under different nutrient deficiencies. Moreover, we found a new miRNA family upregulated specifically by Pi deficiency. In addition to miRNAs, we identified one Pi starvation-induced DCL1-dependent small RNA derived from the long terminal repeat of a retrotransposon and a group of 19-nucleotide small RNAs corresponding to the 5' end of tRNA and expressed at a high level in Pi-starved roots. Interestingly, we observed an increased abundance of TAS4-derived trans-acting siRNAs (ta-siRNAs) in Pi-deficient shoots and uncovered an autoregulatory mechanism of PAP1/MYB75 via miR828 and TAS4-siR81(-) that regulates the biosynthesis of anthocyanin. This finding sheds light on the regulatory network between miRNA/ta-siRNA and its target gene. Of note, a substantial amount of miR399* accumulated under Pi deficiency. Like miR399, miR399* can move across the graft junction, implying a potential biological role for miR399*. This study represents a comprehensive expression profiling of Pi-responsive small RNAs and advances our understanding of the regulation of Pi homeostasis mediated by small RNAs.

Project description:The objective of this project is to identify genes that are expressed in the Arabidopsis thaliana root tip and that are early induced (or repressed) by phoshate deficiency. Seedlings were germinated and grown (for 6 days) on phosphate rich medium and transfered to either a phosphate poor medium (Pi- = 20uM Pi treatment) or a phosphate rich medium (Pi+ = 500uM, Pi = control). Fifteen and 60 minutes after transfer, the tip (~800um) of the primary root was cut under a dissecting microscope. About 100 root tips per condition were harvested and there mRNA was analysed with the use of microarrays. 6 dye-swap - time course,treated vs untreated comparison

Project description:We performed a transcriptomic analysis of Pi starvation responses in Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-0) wild type plants under phosphate starvation stress and in plants with altered PHR1(-like) activity, comparing mutants of phr1 and phr1-phl1 grown in phosphate-lacking medium. Results show the central role of PHR1 and functionally redundant members of its family in the control of transcriptional responses to Pi starvation. The analysis was performed in wild-type plants grown for seven days in complete (+Pi) and Pi-lacking (-Pi) Johnson solid media and the single phr1 and double phr1-phl1 mutants grown for 7 days in –Pi medium. Three independent biological samples of total RNA from shoot and root were hybridized separately.

Project description:P. syringae pv. phaseolicola, the causal agent of halo blight disease in bean, produces a toxin known as phaseolotoxin, whose synthesis involves the product of some of the genes found within the Pht region. This region, considered a pathogenicity island, comprises 23 genes arranged in five transcriptional units; two single-gene units (argK, phtL) and three arranged as operons (phtA, phtD, phtM), most with unknown function. In P. syringae pv. phaseolicola, maximal expression of most of the genes encoded in the Pht region and the synthesis of phaseolotoxin require the product of the phtL gene, which has been proposed to have a regulatory function. In order to evaluate the role of phtL gene in P. syringae pv. phaseolicola, we performed a comparative transcriptional analysis with the wild type and a phtL- mutant strains using microarrays. The microarray data analysis showed that PhtL regulates the expression not only of genes within the Pht region, but also alters the expression of genomic genes related with the iron-acquisition system, pathogenicity, oxidative stress and virulence. This study suggests the possible relation of the PhtL protein with the iron response genes and with the pathogenicity and or virulence of this bacterium. The microarrays used in this study correspond to an assembled DNA microarray of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 previously reported (GEO accession number GPL7115) (HernM-CM-!ndez-Morales et al., 2009). This microarray consist of 1911 probes, with an average length 2.4 Kbp, representing 1X the genome of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121, as well as several PCR products corresponding to various known genes, which were printed as controls. Each microarray experiment was repeated six times (two technical replicates with the same RNA samples and three biological replicates using RNA isolated from a different culture). cDNA synthesis, labeling, hybridization, washing, and chip scanning were performed at the Microarray Core Facility at Cinvestav-Langebio. Hybridized microarray slides were scanned (GenePix 4000, Axon Instruments, Inc) at a 10 um resolution adjusting the laser and gain parameters to obtain similar levels of fluorescence intensity in both channels. The spot intensities were quantified using Axon GenePrix Pro 6.0 image analysis software. First, an automatic spot finding and quantification option of the software was used. Subsequently, all spots were inspected individually and in some cases, the spot diameters were corrected or the spots were removed from the analysis. The mean of the signals and the median of backgrounds were used for further analysis. Raw data were imported into the R.2.2.1 software. Background signals were subtracted using the Robust Multichip Analysis (RMA) whereas the normalization of the signal intensities within slides was carried out using M-bM-^@M-^\print-tip loessM-bM-^@M-^] method and the LIMMA package. Normalized data were log2 transformed and then fitted into mixed model ANOVAs using the Mixed procedure. The p-values of the phtL effects were adjusted for by the False Discovery Rate Method M-bM-^@M-^\FDRM-bM-^@M-^]. Changes in signal intensity of M-BM-11.5-fold or higher/lower between phtL- mutant and wild type were highly significant (FDR, p-value M-bM-^IM-$0.05), however we focused only in differential expressed genes that fell within the more traditional criteria, which is the cut-off threshold for up-regulated (M-bM-^IM-%1.8) and down-regulated genes (M-bM-^IM-$0.50).

Project description:Plant vacuoles serve as the primary intracellular compartments for inorganic phosphate (Pi) storage. Passage of Pi across vacuolar membranes plays a critical role in buffering the cytoplasmic Pi level against fluctuations of external Pi and metabolic activities. Here we demonstrate that the SPX-MFS proteins, designated as Phosphate Transporter 5 family (PHT5), also named Vacuolar Phosphate Transporter (VPT), function as vacuolar Pi transporters. Based on 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis, Arabidopsis pht5;1 loss-of-function mutants accumulate less Pi and exhibit a lower vacuolar-to-cytoplasmic Pi ratio than controls. Conversely, overexpression of PHT5 leads to massive Pi sequestration into vacuoles and altered regulation of Pi starvation-responsive genes. Furthermore, we show that heterologous expression of OsSPX-MFS1, the rice PHT5 homolog, mediates Pi influx to yeast vacuoles. Our findings uncover a group of Pi transporters in vacuolar membranes that regulate the cytoplasmic Pi homeostasis required for the fitness of plant growth. 10-day seedlings grown on Pi-sufficient medium or followed by 1-day or 3-day Pi starvation, shoot RNA and root RNA were extracted separately

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola is the causal agent of halo blight disease of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), which is characterized by water-soaked lesions surrounded by a chlorotic halo resulting from the action of a non-host-specific toxin known as phaseolotoxin, that inhibits the enzyme ornithine carbamoyltransferase involved in the arginine biosynthesis pathway. It was previously reported that genes within the Pht cluster were involved in the regulation and synthesis of phaseolotoxin. The GacS/GacA two component signal transduction system controls important pathogenicity and virulence mechanisms in several Gram-negative bacteria. In the present study we hybridized a genomic microarray of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 to compare transcriptional profiles from wild type strain and a gacA- null mutant with a Tox- 11 phenotype. Results show that GacA controls expression of genes within the Pht cluster as well as another group of clustered genes located in a 13 different region in the bacterial chromosome that contains at least one gene unambiguously shown to be directly involved in phaseolotoxin biosynthesis. Results suggest that this cluster is a new pathogenicity island containing genes whose regulation is also under GacA regulatory cascade and it will require further investigation to determine gene functions and their relationship to virulence mechanisms Transcriptional profiles of a P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 null gacA mutant were compared to those of the wild-type strain. Cultures were grown in minimal medium at 18°C (which is the temperature at which phaseolotoxin is produced and the bacteria achieves full virulence) and harvested during the late log phase of the exponential growth. RNA from three biological replicates and each with two technical replicates were hybridize to control variation that might affect data interpretation.
