Circadian clock-mediated transcriptional regulation in maize
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The goal of the experiment was to perform a large scale study of circadian regulation of gene expression in maize. To identify maize genes with expression regulated by the circadian clock, transcript levels in the aerial tissues of young maize seedlings were determined by transcriptional profiling with the Affymetrix GeneChip Maize Genome Array. Maize inbred B73 seedlings were grown inside Conviron growth chamber. B73 seedlings were grown for 7 days under 12 h light:12 h dark (LD) photocycles, 26° C temperature and 70% humidity. At the 8th day, seedlings were transferred to continuous light (LL) and were allowed to entrain completely for 24 h prior to tissue harvest following which tissue was harvested every 4 hours under LL conditions for a period of 48h. Therefore, for the circadian LL time course 12 time points were collected as follows (also defined as factors in the treatment section): ZT0 - 8:00 am/ subjective dawn/ Day1 ZT4 - 12:00 pm/ subjective mid-day/ Day1 ZT8 - 4:00 pm/ subjective late-day/ Day1 ZT12 - 8:00 pm/ subjective dusk/ Day1 ZT16 - 12:00 am/ subjective mid-night/ Day1 ZT20 - 4:00 am/ subjective pre-dawn/ Day1 ZT24- 8:00 am/ subjective dawn/ Day2 ZT28 - 12:00 pm/ subjective mid-day/ Day2 ZT32 - 4:00 pm/ subjective late-day/ Day2 ZT36 - 8:00 pm/ subjective dusk/ Day2 ZT40 - 12:00 am/ subjective mid-night/ Day2 ZT44 - 4:00 am/ subjective pre-dawn/ Day2 Tissue comprised of aerial portion of the seedlings (corresponding to tissue from the prop roots and up) for RNA isolation. Total RNA was isolated from the entire aerial portion of 7 day-old seedlings (corresponding to tissue from the prop roots and up) by Trizol extraction followed by Qiagen RNeasy columns and treatment with RNase-free DNase I (Qiagen; qiagen.com). RNA was isolated from 3 independent biological replicates was pooled. cRNA was generated from pooled total RNA from 3 biological replicates with the GeneChip One-Cycle Target Labeling kit according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (Affymetrix, affymetrix.com). The University of California, Berkeley Functional Genomics Laboratory hybridized samples to Affymetrix GeneChip Maize Genome Arrays and scanned the washed arrays as suggested by manufacturer. Probe sets called “Not Present” or “Marginal” on one or more microarrays were removed from the downstream analysis, as is common practice with circadian studies. Raw hybridization intensities were normalized across all twelve arrays using RMA express in Perfect Match mode. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Frank G.

Project description:Caryopses of barley (Hordeum vulgare), like all other cereal seeds, are complex sink organs optimized for storage starch accumulation and embryo development. Their development from early stages after pollination to late stages of seed ripening has been studied in great detail. However, information on the caryopsesâ?? diurnal adaptation to changes in light, temperature and alterations in phloem-supplied carbon and nitrogen remained unknown. In this study, we applied the 22K Barley1 GeneChip microarray to investigate diurnal gene regulation events of barley caryopses at 11 to 12 days post anthesis. Developing barley caryopses were harvested at different time-points of a day (at 7:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM) including dark samples (6:00 AM and 10:00 PM). Pooled caryopses (form 3 Plants) from the respective time points were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays (Barley1 GeneChip; GEO accsession GPL1340). Biological replicates were performed.
Project description:The circadian rhythm is the most general and important rhythm in biological organisms. In this study, continuous 24 h video recordings showed that the cumulative movement distance and duration of the abalone, Haliotis discus hannai reached their maximum values between 20:00–00:00, but both were significantly lower between 08:00–12:00 than at any other time of day or night (P < 0.05). To investigate the causes of these diel differences in abalone movement behavior, their cerebral ganglia were harvested at 00:00 (group D) and 12:00 (group L) to screen for differentially expressed proteins using tandem mass tagging (TMT) quantitative proteomics. Seventy-five significantly different proteins were identified in group D vs. group L. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was found three times, and its expression levels differed significantly between day and night (P < 0.05). A cosine rhythm analysis found that the concentration of acetylcholine (Ach) and the expression levels of AchE tended to be low during the day and high at night, and high during the day and low at night, respectively.
Project description:High temperature stress, like any abiotic stress, impairs the physiology and development of plants, including the stages of seed setting and ripening. In this study we used the 22K Barley1 GeneChip microarray to investigate the response of developing barley (Hordeum vulgare) caryopses at 12 days post anthesis to 0.5h, 3h and 6h of heat stress exposure. Developing barley caryopses were harvested at different time-points of a day during heat stress (42M-BM-0C) (2:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM). Heat stress started at 1:30PM. Pooled caryopses (form 3 plants) from the respective time points were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays (Barley1 GeneChip; GEO accsession GPL1340). Biological replicates were performed.
Project description:We have characterized the transcriptional response in Maize under limiting and sufficient nitrogen conditions, and have identified a set of genes whose expression profiles can quantitatively assess the response of plants to those conditions. Four lines, three timepoints, multiple treatments, and three biological replicates for a total of 90 samples. Genotypes : Four Monsanto proprietary Zea mays lines were used, designated Line1, Line2, Line3 and Line4 N02: (Limiting Nitrogen) grown for 28 days to V6 stage with 2mM ammonium nitrate N20: (Sufficient Nitrogen) grown for 21 days to V6 stage with 20mM ammonium nitrate N02T20: (Limiting Nitrogen Supplemented) grown for 28 days to V6 with 2mM ammonium nitrate followed by application of 20mM ammonium nitrate applied at 8AM (and sampled at 10AM, 11PM on the same day, and 10AM the following day) Sampling Times: Day1@10AM, Day1@11PM. Another sample was taken at Day2@10AM (the following day) for Line4 and for all the Nitrogen Supplemented (N02T20) samples of all lines. Development Stage: V6 stage (21 days for sufficient nitrogen treatment and 28 days for limiting nitrogen treatment. Planting was staggered so all sampling was done on the same days.) Plants were grown in green house. Leaf tissue from 4 plants were combined to form each replicate.
Project description:Background: Plant diurnal rhythms are vital environmental adaptations to coordinate internal physiological responses to alternating day-night cycles. A comprehensive view of diurnal biology has been lacking for maize (Zea mays), a major world crop. Methodology: A photosynthetic tissue, the leaf, and a non-photosynthetic tissue, the developing ear, were sampled under natural field conditions. Genome-wide transcript profiling was conducted on a high-density 105K Agilent microarray to investigate diurnal rhythms. The top-most fully expanded leaf from each plant collected. Plants were sampled every 4 hours over 3 days. Our sampling times were: 6 am (dawn), 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm, 10 pm and 2 am. Tissues were collected from three field reps and within each field rep we collected samples from three individual plants
