Although DNA methylation is known to play an important role in the silencing of transposable elements (TEs) and introduced transgenes, the mechanisms that generate DNA methylation-independent transcriptional silencing are poorly understood. Previous studies suggest that RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is required for the silencing of the RD29A-LUC transgene in the Arabidopsis ros1 mutant background with defective DNA demethylase. Loss of function of ARGONAUTE 4 (AGO4) gene, which encodes a c ...[more]

Project description:The correlation coefficient (R) for the expression profile of all transcripts between WT and asr3-1, and between WT and OX9 without flg22 treatment is close to linear, suggesting that ASR3 does not affect general gene transcription. Hierarchical clustering analysis flg22-induced genes in any of the three genotypes suggested that the asr3-1 mutant displayed overall enhanced flg22 response whereas OX9 displayed overall reduced responses compared to WT plants. RNA-seq analysis was performed with 10-day-old seedlings of WT, asr3-1 and 35S:ASR3-HA transgenic line OX9 with or without 100 nM flg22 treatment for 30 min. Two independent repeats were performed for RNA-seq analysis. For each repeat, equal amount of RNA from two biological replicates was pooled for RNA-seq library construction. RNA-seq library preparation and sequencing were carried out on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform with 100 nt single end reads.

Project description:F1 hybrids can outperform their parents in yield and vegetative biomass, features of hybrid vigor which form the basis of the hybrid seed industry. The yield advantage of the F1 is lost in the F2 and subsequent generations. In Arabidopsis, from F2 plants which have a F1 âlike phenotype, we have by recurrent selection produced pure breeding F5/F6 lines âHybrid Mimicsâ, in which the characteristics of the F1 Hybrid are stabilized. These Hybrid Mimic lines, like the F1 Hybrid, have larger leaves than the parent plant, the leaves having increased photosynthetic cell numbers, and in some lines increased size of cells, suggesting an increased supply of photosynthate. A comparison of the differentially expressed genes in the F1 Hybrid with those of eight Hybrid Mimic lines has identified metabolic pathways altered in both; these pathways include down regulation of defense response pathways and altered abiotic response pathways. F6 Hybrid Mimic lines are mostly homozygous at each locus in the genome yet retain the large F1-like phenotype. Many alleles in the F6 plants, when they are homozygous, have expression levels different to the level in the parent. We consider this altered expression to be a consequence of trans-regulation of genes from one parent by genes from the other parent. Transregulation could also arise from epigenetic modifications in the F1. The pure breeding Hybrid Mimics have been valuable in probing the mechanisms of hybrid vigor and may also prove to be useful hybrid vigor equivalents in agriculture. Plant Materials: Seeds were sterilized and sown onto plates containing MSN medium (MS salts supplemented with 1% (w/v) sucrose, pH7 with KOH, 0.6% wt/vol Noble agar). After 2 days at 4°C, the plates were transferred to a growth room with conditions of 22 °C/18 °C (day/night) and 16h light/8h dark cycle under Philips Cool Daylight TLD 58W/840 fluorescent tubes providing a photosynthetic photon flux density of 130 - 150μmol photons m-2·s-1 as measured using a quantum meter (Model MQ-200 calibrated for electric light source, Apogee). At 18 days after sowing (DAS), the plants were transferred to soil and grown to the reproductive stage in a growth room with controlled light conditions (OSRAM L 36W/865 LumLux Daylight, 130 - 150μmol photons m-2·s-1). To minimize the edge effects, the positioning of both plates and trays on the shelves was rotated every two days. All the plants were grown under the condition described above unless specified. Plant sample preparation and RNA extraction: For the transcriptomes of 15 DAS plants, the aerial tissues of 15 day seedlings were sampled. For the transcriptomes of plants at 28 DAS, the four largest leaves of 28 day plants from the parental lines (C24, Ler), the reciprocal Hybrids and eight F4 Hybrid Mimic lines were harvested. Each sample comprised a pool of five plants. Two biological replicates of each sample were sequenced. Total RNA was isolated using QIAGEN RNeasy MiniKitTM following the product instructions. To eliminate variation in experimental conditions in different positions in the growth room, nine F4 plant lines were divided into two batches to ensure plants were grown on the same shelves in each experiment. Parental lines C24 and Ler and the F1 Hybrid from which the F4 lines derived from were grown under the same conditions in each experiment as controls. The first batch including samples C24 (RepA and RepB), Ler (RepA and RepB), C24 x Ler F1, F4-L1-1, F4-L1-2, F4-L2-1, F4-L2-2 and F4-S-1 were grown under the condition describe above, we also sampled the five smallest C24 seedlings and five smallest Ler seedlings among the population (n = 50); the mRNA sequencing was performed by the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF). The second batch including C24 (RepC and RepD), Ler (RepC and RepD), Ler x C24 F1 Hybrid, F4-L3-1, F4-L3-2, F4-L4-1 and F4-L4-2 were grown in the same light intensity as above but under different light tubes (SYLVANIA PREMIUM extra FL36W/865 Super Daylight deluxe light tube). For the transcriptome of the two F6 Hybrid Mimic lines at 15 DAS, C24, Ler, Ler x C24 F1 Hybrids and three siblings from each F6 line (L3-1-1-2 and L4-2-1-2) were grown on MS medium (MS salts supplemented with 1% (w/v) sucrose, pH 5.7 with KOH, add 0.6% wt/vol agar) with controlled light conditions (SYLVANIA PREMIUM extra FL36W/865 Super Daylight deluxe, 130 - 150μmol photons m-2·s-1). The mRNA sequencing service was provided by AGRF on the Illumina platform, 100bp paired ends.

Project description:Active DNA demethylation is an important epigenetic phenomenon in many eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, ROS1, a 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase, is responsible for active DNA demethylation via a base excision repair process. Here, we found that Bromodomain and ATPase domain-containing protein 1 (BRAT1) associates with BRP1 (BRAT1 Partner 1) and forms a tight BRAT1–BRP1 complex required for DNA demethylation. To identify hypermethylated loci at the whole-genome level in brat1, brp1, and ros1, we performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Compare the DNA methylation profiles of 10-day old seedlings materials of mutants (brat1, brp1, and ros1) to wild type by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.

Project description:Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, has been exploited in agriculture to deliver increases in crop yields for over a century, yet the molecular basis is not well understood We have studied the transcriptomes of 15 day old seedlings from intraspecific Arabidopsis hybrids with varying levels of heterosis and their parental lines in order to identify drivers of heterosis. The patterns of altered gene expression in the hybrids point to a reduction in basal defense levels that could reflect the antagonism between plant immunity and plant growth. Associated with this theme are changes to the salicylic acid and auxin regulated networks which are known to control abiotic and biotic defense responses as well as being important regulators of plant growth. Increased auxin response correlates with the heterotic phenotype of greater leaf cell numbers, whereas reduced salicylic acid levels and response promotes increased leaf cell size in hybrids involving C24. By manipulating salicylic acid levels in each of our hybrid systems, we can alter levels of heterosis, promote additional growth in the hybrids, and generate increased growth in the parents, especially C24. Aerial tissues of 15 days after sowing seedlings from C24, Ler, Col and their reciprocal hybrid offspring. In total 7 biological replicates for both the C24 and Ler parents, 2 biological replicates for Col, 10 biological replicates for C24/Ler and 4 biological replicates for both C24/Col and Col/Ler were sequenced and analysed. Each replicated consisted of a pools of 5-15 seedlings (see publication for more details)

Project description:Liquid grown, seven day old wild type Arabidopsis seedlings and seedlings carrying a cDNA encoding the Abscisic Acid Insensitive Growth (AIG1) gene under the control of an estrogen inducible promoter were treated with estrogen for 0, 60 and 120 minutes at which point seedlings were flash frozen and mRNA was extracted. Wild-type and ESTAIG1 Col samples were treated with estrogen and flash frozen 0, 60 and 120 minutes later. Each sample type has three biological reps, except ESTHAT22.120, which has two. There are therefore 17 total samples. mRNA samples were sequenced by Otogenetics and then analyzed using the Tuxedo suite of applications.
