Project description:GR24, a synthetic strigolactone, and KAR1, the main bioactive compound in smoke water, both share a common α,β unsaturated furanone moiety which promotes biomass accumulation in three week old N. benthamiana seedlings. In order to investigate whether this D ring is responsible for the biomass accumulation, gene expression profiles were evaluated for co-expression on the Agilent 44k N. tabacum microarray. GR24, smoke and KAR1 induced different transcripts, and suggests that they trigger independent growth responses. Control (untreated), GR24 (10-7M), smoke water (1:1000 dilution) and butenolide (10-7M) gene expression profiles were evaluated on three week old seedlings, in two independent experimental trials.
Project description:Strigolactones have been defined as a new group of phytohormones that regulate shoot branching. The phenotypes of strigolacton-related rice (Oryza sativa) dwarf (d) mutants demonstrated that SLs inhibit mesocotyl elongation by controlling cell division. Moreover, the trans-zeatin, one of active cytokinins, content of mesocotyls was increased in the SL-deficient d10-1 and SL-insensitive d14-1 mutants. To examine if there are genes related to cytokinin-biosynthesis or -degradation among the strigolactone-responsive genes expressed in the mesocotyl, we carried out microarray analyses using d10-1, d14-1 and the wild-type grown under dark conditions, with or without pretreatment of a synthetic strigolactone analog, GR24. Gene expression profiles in 4-day-old mesocotyls of dwarf (d) mutants (d10-1 and d14-1) and wild-type germinated under dark conditions with or without treatment of 1 μM GR24 were analyzed. Three biological replicates were prepared for each conditions, and a total of eighteen samples were analyzed.
Project description:This dataset provides deep-profiling of the Arabidopsis transcriptome of mRNA of 7-day whole seedling on treatment with strigolactone (SL) isomer GR24-5DS. To understand the transcriptome response and genes regulated by SL, we used Columbia (Col0) ecotype. 7-day old seedlings are treated with 2.5uM GR24-5DS for 3hrs and samples are frozen immediately after treatment. 6 samples: 3 biological replicates Control untreated; 3 biological replicates treated with GR24-5DS.
Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that is important in responding to various environmental stresses. Using an ABA auxotroph in Arabidopsis (aba2-2) as the plant material, we would like to identify early downstream targets of transcription in response to a small dose of ABA, 1 uM. We also added cycloheximide to preferentially obtain immediate targets of ABA addition. We believe that using a sensitized background of an ABA auxotroph would yield a set of genes that are very closely regulated by ABA at the transcriptional level. This data set will be used for network analysis of ABA signaling.
Project description:4plex_physco_2014-05 - ppmax2 response to gr24 - How does the Ppmax2 moss mutant respond to Strigolactone (GR24)? - Two moss genotypes are used: WT and the Ppmax2 mutant. Moss tissues are fragmented, then plated on medium (Petri dish with cellophane disks) and cultivated for 3 weeks. Moss tissues are then transfered for 6 hours on acetone-containing medium (control treatment, for WT and Ppmax2) or GR24 (1 microM, in acetone)-containing medium (for Ppmax2). After 6 hours, the moss tissues are collected, quickly forzen in liquid nitrogen. RNA are isolated using the Quiagen RNeasy Plant mini kit (including a RNase-free DNase treatment on column). Two similar experiments (T1 and T2) have been led.
