Project description:0.5 mM SA plus 0.02% Silwet or 0.02% Silwet (control) was sprayed on leaves of 3.5 week old Arabidopsis plants. Samples were harvested at 0 (prior to treatment) , 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours post treatment. A subset of these samples were processed.
Project description:0.5 mM SA plus 0.02% Silwet or 0.02% Silwet (control) was sprayed on leaves of 3.5 week old Arabidopsis plants. Samples were harvested at 0 (prior to treatment) , 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours post treatment. A subset of these samples were processed. Arabidopsis plants grown in parallel under standardized conditions were treated with SA + Silwet or Silwet alone (control). Only mature leaves of the same developmental age were harvested using leaves from 2-4 plants, totalling ~0.2 grams per sample. Plants were not resampled. In our hands, experimental replicates are highly reproducible. This was an exploratory experiment to look for candidate genes impacted by exogenous SA treatment. We were only able to process a subset of samples and chose to process key time points, sacrificing replicates at each time point.
Project description:Chromatin remodeling factors utilize ATP hydrolysis to modulate chromatin dynamics, and the Fun30-subfamily members in yeast and animals are a class of well-studied remodelers implicated in diverse biological processes. However, the molecular activity of plant Fun30 orthologues and their functions in plant growth still remain obscure yet. Compared with yeast and animal orthologues, Arabidopsis Fun30 possesses conserved ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding activity but loses the CUE domain functioning as protein adapter in evolution. Fun30 gene shows a tissue-specific expression pattern in vegetative meristems and various vascular tissues, and is functionally implicated in transcriptional repression of a large number of responsive genes under uninduced conditions. We focused on the interconnected phytohormones SA/JA pathways, and proved the Fun30 recruitment and changes of local nucleosome occupancy within chromatin regions of several key signaling and effector genes in each pathway. Besides SUVR2 involved in RdDM pathway, Fun30 also interacts with non-catalytic subunits of histone deacetylase complex, and Fun30-binding proteins exert in vitro TSA-inhibited histone deacetylase activity. In fun30 mutant, we detected increased H3 acetylation level within local chromatin regions of Fun30 target genes in vivo. Intriguingly, Fun30 transcription is severely inhibited by SA treatment, which thus releases its repression on SA-induced gene during the activation of the downstream SA pathway. Meanwhile, basal transcription level and JA-induced activation of key transcription factor MYC2 gene, as well as the consequent susceptibility to necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea, are abnormally increased in Fun30-deficient plants.
Project description:The Arabidopsis Pathoarray 464_001 (GPL3638) was used to compare response of Col-0, pad4-1 (Zhou et al., 1998; Jirage et al., 1999) and sid2-2 (Wildermuth et al., 2001) to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 hrcC mutant. SA production is drastically reduced in sid2 mutants. PAD4 is required for SA-mediated responses. The results suggested that the SA increase triggered by MAMPs is one major component in the MAMPs-triggered signaling mechanism.

Project description:Salicylic acid (SA) has long been implicated in plant responses to oxidative stress. A direct assessment of SA effects in planta has been difficult, as SA-overproducing Arabidopsis mutants are compromised in growth or other developmental processes. We now report that transgenic Populus expressing a bacterial bifunctional SA synthase accumulated two to three orders of magnitude more total SA than wild type without affecting growth. Microarray experiments were performed to gauge the transcriptional responses of young source leaves to SA manipulation and/or heat stress. Differentially expressed genes due to SA perturbation or temperature treatment were identified. Co-expression network analysis was performed to identify key driver genes in SA-modulated response.
Project description:Plant hormones involved in environmental stresses, namely abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA), have been shown to interact with each other in a complex manner. To address the network of the hormone interactions, we have investigated the changes in expression under multiple hormone treatments, ABA+SA and ABA+JA. We chose cultured cells to remove the difference in the response to hormones among developmental cells or tissues. The cells were treated for 3hr and 24hr to see the rapid or transient response and steady-state response. The obtained data indicate that ABA and SA affect antagonistically, but these hormones affected many genes collaboratively. Indeed, according to the microarray data, there are many genes that responded only to ABA+SA. In addition, the ABA+SA responsive genes also responded to ABA+JA. These data suggest that hormone crosstalk is more complicated than expected and that more systematic analysis is required to untangle the hormone crosstalk network. To investigate the hormonal interactions, Arabidopsis T87 cultured cells were exposed to ABA, SA, or JA alone, or two hormones simultaneously, ABA+SA or ABA+JA, for 3hr and 24 hr. Comparing the data among those treatments, the relationships among these hormones were deduced.
Project description:Single cell analysis of tumor infiltrating CD8 T cells in wild-type (WT) and Ifnar1-SA (SA) mice identifies differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways.
Project description:Salicylic acid (SA) levels increase in Arabidopsis upon exposure to low temperature for more than a week. This cold-induced SA biosynthesis was found to proceed through the isochorismate synthase (ICS) pathway. The sid2-1 mutant is deficient in ICS1 and does not make SA at low temperature. We used microarray analysis to examine the genes differentially regulated by low temperature that were dependent on SA
