Project description:Arabidopsis, when grown under short day conditions (16 hours dark, 8 hours light, 22oC) develop extensive secondary thickened hypocotyls with both a vascular and cork cambium (Chaffey et al, 2002, Phys. Plant., 114:594-600). It has been found that once secondary xylem development is completed within the Arabidopsis hypocotyls, it closely resembles the structure of the wood of angiosperm trees (Chaffey et al, 2002, Phys. Plant., 114:594-600). We can utilise this model Arabidopsis tree to identify genes that are important for secondary cell wall formation in xylem cells and therefore important for wood development. Columbia plants were grown for 3 months under short day conditions and secondary thickened hypocotyls were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was isolated from these hypocotyls and submitted to NASC for probing against the ATH1-121501 full GeneChip. Experiment Overall Design: 2 samples

Project description:The formation of vascular tissue occurs when cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and other wall components are deposited within the primary cell wall. These secondary thickened cells then undergo programmed cell death producing a network of empty cells with which water and ions can be transported throughout the plant. The hormones auxin and cytokinin are the principle signals for vascular tissue initiation. As a consequence cells cultured in-vitro can be converted into vascular tissue with the addition of exogenous auxin and cytokinin. We have created an in-vitro cell system, using callus produced from leaves that can be induced to form vascular tissue. Leaves are callused on induction media for two weeks. The callus is then transferred to liquid media and incubated under optimum conditions resulting in an increase in vascular tissue formation. Approximately 20% of cells will differentiate during the incubation period. The alteration of cytokinin concentration affects the ability of the cultured cells to undergo differentiation. Consequently callus incubated in liquid media, containing lower cytokinin concentrations, will undertake relatively little differentiation. Samples have been isolated from cell cultures at different time points and different hormone concentrations during incubation. Quantitative PCR using the marker AtCesA7, which encodes a cellulose synthase subunit specific to secondary wall deposition, was used as a guide to determine periods of high and low vascular differentiation. This system provides an opportunity to compare gene expression between differentiating and non differentiating cells and allow the identification of genes up regulated during vascular tissue formation.

Project description:In recent years our group has been constructing an activation tag library based on the En-I transposon system which resulted in the identification of novel Arabidopsis mutants (Marsch Martinez et al 2002; manuscript accepted for publication in Plant Phys). Among them the bountiful (bou) mutant showed dominant alterations in leaf size and morphology, delayed flowering, vertically oriented siliques and higher yield. Sequence analysis of the genomic region flanking the transposon insertion in combination with expression analysis indicated that the mutant phenotype observed was presumably caused by over-expression of a gene encoding a yet uncharacterised DNA binding protein. In particular over-expression in the activation tagged mutant seems to cause ectopic expression of the BOU gene in all vegetative and reproductive tissues while the endogenous pattern of expression appeared to be restricted only to root tissue. Over-expression lines in which the BOU ORF was driven by the 35S promoter displayed the bountiful phenotype confirming that the activation tagged phenotype was indeed caused by activation of the BOU gene. Protein sequence analysis indicates a putative role for BOU as a chromatin remodelling factor which in association with the expression pattern suggests a possible involvement of BOU in high-hierarchy order of regulation of gene expression. Hence microarrays could be very useful for the identification of downstream interacting factors or target geneswhich will help us to gain insights towards unravelling the biological role of the BOU gene. The specific interaction to flowering time genes will be studied independently using RT-PCR to reveal the relationship to other genes in the regulatory pathway. As experimental setup we intend to compare gene expression between bountiful mutant and wild-type arabidopsis plants using rosette leaf tissue as source for RNA. Though the BOU gene is endogenously expressed in a root-specific mannerits ectopic expression in the bountiful mutant phenotipically affects the whole plant including leaves.

Project description:Plants that exhibit secondary growth, such as trees, are a prominent feature of terrestrial ecosystems. Furthermore, secondary growth itself, particularly wood, has huge economic value. Despite the importance of secondary growth from both basic and applied science perspectives, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that underpin this facet of plant development. The proposed microarray experiments are designed to expand our knowledge of the regulation of secondary growth by combining the power of Arabidopsis genetics with complete transcriptome analysis. It is now well established that Arabidopsis can be grown under conditions that induce secondary growth in the hypocotyl, albeit small, wood. We have grown 8500 Arabidopsis plants of different genotypes under these conditions and will extract RNA from the developing vascular cambia of these plants to subject them to complete transcriptome analysis.The mutants that we have chosen for these analyses are all related to each other on the basis of the fact that they impact dormancy in either seeds or shoots (abi1, aba1, max4, axr1, AtMYB61 knockout, AtMYB50 knockout). The mutants themselves are the core group of mutants that are the focus of a three laboratory consortium, funded under the BBSRC Exploiting Genomics Initiative, to investigate the molecular basis of meristem dormancy in Arabidopsis. The other partners in the consortium are Dr. Ottoline Leyser (York) and Dr. Michael Holdsworth (IACR). While the Leyser and Holdsworth groups have investigated the impact of these mutations on transcriptome activity in shoot meristems and seeds respectively, our work focuses on the vascular cambium. Thus, this work will not only provide insights into the regulation of cambial function, but, when compared with the existing datasets from the Leyser and Holdworth labs, the work should also provide insights into the relationship between dormancy-impacted phenomena in different meristematic regions. Beyond this, the specific work on the cambium-specific regulation of genes in the MYB61KO will provide even greater insights into the functioning of this important resource allocation regulator, as it will build on a significant complete transcriptome dataset that is already available through GARNet. In total, the proposed analyses will generate important new data that builds on existing datasets, to provide an even more comprehensive understanding of gene function, and genetic networks, in an important biological and applied context. Please note that the sample numbers that we have provided below are meant to be the 'base' number for each biological condition (mutant, etc.), and that there will be independent TRIPLICATE biological replicates produced for each condition. (ie. A-1 to A-12). Experiment Overall Design: Number of plants pooled:200-400 per RNA sample

Project description:Expression of the OX1 gene coding for a putative protein kinase was shown to be induced in Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes Col-0, WS and RLD seedlings by treatment with H2O2 superoxidecolddroughtsalt and cellulase (elicitor). All of these treatments will ultimately lead to production of H2O2 either as a secondary effect of the applied stress through disturbance of electron transport processes or as a direct product of the plant NADPH oxidases (oxidative burst). However the sets of protective genes switched on (end-responses) will differ depending on the original stress. The induction characteristics of OX1 point to a role of this kinase in signal transduction downstream of H2O2; however it is not clear which primary signal is relayed. OX1 may function in the perception of oxidative stress caused by all/any one of the environmental stresses and/or it may be important in signalling downstream of the oxidative burst triggered by pathogen infection and wounding. An OX1 knock-out was isolated from the Wisconsin T-DNA lines with an insertion between the first and second conserved kinase domains rendering the protein product non-functional. Aim of the microarray experiment is to compare gene induction in the homozygous knock-out line to that in the wild-type (ecotype WS) following H2O2 treatment. To this end 7 day-old seedlings will be immersed in 10 mM solution for 1 h. Analysis of differences in expression of genes belonging to a certain end-response will disclose the signalling pathway which OX1 functions in. This is necessary for further planned experiments e.g. analysis of inducible OX1 antisense and constitutive lines as well as kinase activity assays.

Project description:Fungal secondary metabolites can not only cause toxic effects in animals and humans, but also serve as virulence factors of the producing fungi for causing plant diseases.Thus, the severity of plant diseases associated with mycotoxins depend on the sensitivity towards the toxin. In previous experiments, we have evaluated the phytotoxic effect ofa mycotoxin on root growth of Arabidopsis wild-type and mutant seedlings. Mycotoxin treatment of a new conditional root expansion mutant partially restores the expansion phenotype (JE100; Werner et al., unpublished). AIM: This experiment aims to identify genes, in early and later phases after mycotoxin treatment in wild-type and mutant seedlings. EXPERIMENTAL PLAN: Eight Affymetrix chips are needed for this experiment. RNA preparation will be provided from wild-type, accession Columbia, and mutant seedlings after different time points of mycotoxin treatment. As control, separate seedlings will be treated with the same concentration of solvent (DMSO). Briefly, seeds will be sterilized, stratified for 48 hours and germinated on MS agar plates containing 4.5% sucrose at 22°C and 16h/8h light/dark cycles. 10 days after germination, seedlings will be transferred to liquid MS medium and shaken for another 3 days for acclimatization. Seedlings will be harvested after 2 and 24 hours of treatment with a single concentration (50 µM) of mycotoxin. To account for experimental variations (i.e. time needed for freezing the tissues, circadian clock,...), the experiment will be repeated three times and RNA samples will be pooled. EXPECTED RESULTS: The experiment should identify genes differentially expressed: 1) between wild-type and mutant seedlings, 2) upon mycotoxin treatment in wild-type, 3) upon mycotoxin treatment of mutant seedlings and 4) upon solvent treatment. The results will allow us to pinpoint the mode of action of this mycotoxin. They will also allow us to better understand the function of the mutated gene which affects the sensitivity towards the mycotoxin. Furthermore, we expect to identify the signaling pathway by which the plant responses towards the mycotoxinis triggered.

Project description:Plastids communicate with the nucleus by means of retrograde plastid signals. The far-red (FR) light insensitive Arabidopsis mutant laf6 disrupted in a plastid-localised ABC-like protein (atABC1) accumulates the plastid signal protoporphyrin IX (proto IX) and has attenuated nuclear gene expression (Moller et al.2001 Genes Dev. 15:90-103). Our data suggests that proto IX accumulation results in hypocotyl elongation in response to FR light and we have demonstrated that by inhibiting the plastid localised protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO) using flumioxazin wild-type plants phenocopy laf6 by accumulating proto IX with a concomitant loss of hypocotyl growth inhibition in a dose-dependent manner. It is at present unclear what effect increased proto IX has on nuclear gene expression and how this is integrated with photomorphogenic responses such as hypocotyl elongation.
