Project description:To investigate global changes in gene expression during B. emersonii germination process, we constructed cDNA microarrays containing 3,563 putative unique genes. Analyses were carried out during germination induced under various environmental conditions. Microarray data revealed that 26% of them are differentially expressed during germination in nutrient medium, in at least one of the time points investigated. Over 500 genes are up regulated during the time course of germination under these conditions, most of them being related to cell growth, including genes involved in protein biosynthesis, DNA transcription, energetic metabolism, carbohydrate and oligopeptide transport, and cell cycle control. On the other hand, several transcripts stored in the zoospores are down regulated during germination in nutrient medium, such as genes involved in signal transduction, amino acid transport and chromosome organization. We also compared germination induced in the presence of nutrients with that triggered either by adenine or potassium ions in inorganic salt solution. Several genes involved in cell growth that are induced during germination in nutrient medium do not show increased expression when B. emersonii zoospores germinate in inorganic solution, indicating that nutrients exert a positive regulatory effect on the transcription of these genes. Differentially expressed genes during germination were investigated in a time-course experiment, using RNA samples isolated from cells collected 30, 60 and 90 min after inoculation of zoospores in nutrient medium DM3. The reference sample was zoospore RNA, which was considered the time zero of germination. We also compared germination in nutrient medium with germination induced in inorganic salt solution, triggered either by adenine or potassium ions. In these experiments we considered germination in nutrient medium as the reference sample. There are at least 3 biological replicates (independent harvest) and 2 technical replicates for each array (L-left and R-right).

Project description:Background: Since chemical assays of soil nutrients are unreliable the UK horticultural and agricultural industries routinely apply large amounts of inorganic fertiliser to maintain crop yields and quality. Excessive fertiliser applications are both costly and can lead to unnecessary pollution. A possible solution to this problem is to use sensor (GM or non-GM) technologies that exploit the changes in plant gene expression profiles under incipient nutrient deficiency. The aim of this project is to identify genes upregulated in the early stages of nutrient depletion. Methods: Arabidopsis ecotype Col-5 (N1644) will be grown hydroponically using established techniques. In parallel experiments NP and K will be withdrawn individually after 21 d growth. RNA will be extracted from shoots of nutrient replete (control) and nutrient depleted plants 24 h after the removal of nutrients. Shoot nutrient content will be assayed by ICP-EMS as a reference. By comparing expression profiles we will be able to differentiate between genes that are upregulated by lack of specific nutrients and those upregulated by a universal stress-response system. Promoters and transcripts of these genes will underpin the development of novel sensor technologies and knowledge of the gene expression profiles will improve our understanding of the physiology of plant mineral nutrition.

Project description:Depletion of essential nutrients triggers regulatory programs that prolong cell growth and survival. Starvation-induced processes increase nutrient transport, mobilize nutrient storage, and recycle nutrients between cellular components. This leads to an effective increase in intracellular nutrients, which may act as a negative feedback that down-regulates the starvation program. To examine how cells overcome this potential instability, we followed the transcription response of budding yeast transferred to medium lacking phosphate. Genes were induced in two temporal waves. The first wave was stably maintained and persisted even upon phosphate replenishment, indicating a positive feedback loop. This commitment was abolished after two hours with the induction of the second expression wave, coinciding with the reduction in cell growth rate. We identify genes that mediate this loss of commitment, and show that the overall temporal stability of the expression response depends on the sequential pattern of gene induction. Our results emphasize the key role of gene expression dynamics in optimizing cellular adaptation. pho90_OX cells were grown at high Phosphate medium, washed and transferred to no phosphate medium.
