ABSTRACT: We reported the temperature responses in roots affect the gene expression. To identify the transcriptome profiles response to temperature, we performed an mRNA-seq experiments in Col-0, hy5-215 and chl1.5 with 2 different temperature conditions (21 and 28C). The differential expressed genes in response to temperature were analyzed. It has 36 samples in total, with 3 biogical replicates for each condition.
Project description:We performed RNA sequencing of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000-infected A. thaliana Col-0 and 35S::CBP60g plants at normal (23C) and elevated (28C) temperatures. 4-week-old plants were pre-incubated at 23C and 28C for 48h and then leaves were syringe-infiltrated with DC3000 bacterial inoculum. Plants were incubated at their respective temperatures (23C or 28C) for another 24h post-inoculation before tissue collection for RNA extraction. RNA samples for submitted for RNA sequencing and we found different clusters of DC3000-regulated genes that were similarly or differentially regulated between Col-0 and 35S::CBP60g at elevated temperature. Temperature-downregulated DC3000-induced genes in Col-0 plants that were restored in 35S::CBP60g plants were enriched for immunity/defense-related genes, including those essential for host salicylic acid (defense hormone) biosynthesis and accumulation.
Project description:Temperature is one of the most impactful environmental factors in response to which plants adjust their growth and development. While the regulation of temperature signaling has been extensively investigated for the aerial part of plants, much less is known and understood about how roots sense and modulate their growth in response to fluctuating temperatures. Here we found that shoot and root growth responses to high ambient temperature are negatively correlated during early seedling development. A shoot signaling module that includes HY5, the phytochromes and the PIFs exerts a central function in coupling these responses and triggers long-distance signaling to control root growth and auxin levels in the root. In addition to the HY5/PIF dependent shoot module, a local regulatory axis composed of auxin biosynthesis and auxin perception factors mediates root responses to high ambient temperature. Together, our findings uncover that roots integrate long-distance signals with local hormonal inputs during thermomorphogenesis.

Project description:ngs2015_05_high_temperature_root-high temp wt - characterize changes in root gene expression associated with plant growth at higher temperature - plants were grown at 21°C or 26°C, 16h light (90µE)/8h dark for 10 days before harveting roots.
Project description:Plant roots located in the upper soil layers are prone to experience high temperatures. To gain insight into the effect of high temperature on root development and functioning, we exposed five-day-old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings grown on agar plates to 30 °C for 48 hours, and compared the gene expression profile in the root tip with that from seedlings that remained at 22 °C.

Project description:Plants have evolved mechanisms to improve utilization efficiency or acquisition of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in response to Pi deficiency, such as altering root architecture, secreting acid phosphatases, and activating the expression of genes related to Pi uptake and recycling. Although many genes responsive to Pi starvation have been identified, transcription factors that affect tolerance to Pi deficiency have not been well characterized. We show here that the ectopic expression of B-BOX32 (BBX32) and the mutation of ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), whose transcriptional activity is negatively regulated by BBX32, resulted in the tolerance to Pi deficiency in Arabidopsis. The primary root lengths of 35S:BBX32 and hy5 plants were only slightly inhibited under Pi deficient condition and the fresh weights were significantly higher than those of wild type. The Pi deficiency-tolerant root phenotype of hy5 was similarly observed when grown on the medium without Pi. In addition, a double mutant, hy5 slr1, without lateral roots also showed a long primary root phenotype under phosphate deficiency, indicating that the root phenotype of hy5 does not result from increase of external Pi uptake. Moreover, we found that blue light may regulate Pi deficiency-dependent primary root growth inhibition through activating peroxidase gene expression, suggesting the Pi-deficiency tolerant root phenotype of hy5 may be due to blockage of blue-light responses. Altogether, this study points out light quality may play an important role in the regulation of Pi deficiency responses. It may contribute to regulate plant growth under Pi deficiency through a proper illumination.
Project description:The casparian strip serves as a crucial diffusion barrier in the endodermis, playing a vital role in controlling the flow of substances between the root and its external environment. Here, we observed that when the casparian strip is absent, bacteria can accumulate abundantly on the roots. To investigate the impact of this bacterial accumulation on the root indued by casparian strip deficiency , we inoculated Col-0 and sgn3 myb36 roots with CHA0 in a hydroponic system. Ultimately, we found that the bacterial accumulation on the roots, resulting from the absence of the Casparian strip, strongly induces the immune response of the roots. This indicates that the casparian strip plays an important role in regulating the interaction between the root and microorganisms.
Project description:We report that CBP20 phosphorylation can regulate root growth in ethylene. We examined the gene expression in roots and shoots of wild type (Col) and cbp20 mutant (in Col background). Ethylene is one of the most essential hormones for plant developmental processes and stress responses. EIN2 is a key factor in ethylene signaling pathway and its function is regulated by phosphorylation. However, the phosphorylation regulation in the ethylene signaling pathway is largely unknown. Here we report the phosphorylation of CBP20 is regulated by ethylene, and the phosphorylation is involved in root elongation. The constitutive phosphorylation format of CBP20 rescues the cbp20 root ethylene hyposensitive phenotype, while the constitutive de-phosphorylation format of CBP20 is unable to rescue the root phenotype of cbp20 in response to ethylene. Genome wide study on ethylene regulated gene expression and microRNA expression in the roots and shoots of both Col and cbp20, together with the result of genetics validation suggest that ethylene induced phosphorylation of CBP20 is involved in root growth and one pathway is through the regulation of microRNAs and their target genes in roots.
