Project description:Root branching in response to changes in nitrogen status in the soil, is a dramatic example of the plant’s remarkable developmental plasticity. In recent work we investigated the genetic architecture of developmental plasticity, combining phenoclustering and genome-wide association studies in 96 Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes with expression profiling in 7 ecotypes, to characterise natural variation in root architectural plasticity at the phenotypic, genetic, and transcriptional levels. This series contains the microarray expression data for 7 ecotypes that represent a range of root branching strategies. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression involved in the plants response to nitrogen in the root and identified distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes in the seven different Arabidopsis ecotypes during this process. The whole experiment was carried out in triplicate with 42 chips in total (14 experiments). The nitrogen response in seven Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype (Col0, Kas2, NFA8, SQ8, TAMM27, Ts5, Var2-1) whole roots was assayed using Affymetrix microarrays. Seedlings were grown hydroponically in low nitrogen for 12 days, then 5mM KNO3 was used as a nitrogen treatment for 2 hours with 5mM KCl used as a control treatment for the same length of time. At the end of the treatment time roots were harvested and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent RNA extraction.

Project description:To optimize access to nitrogen under limiting conditions, root systems must continuously sense and respond to local or temporal fluctuations in nitrogen availability. In Arabidopsis thaliana and several other species, external N levels that induce only mild deficiency stimulate the emergence of lateral roots and especially the elongation of primary and lateral roots. However, the identity of the genes involved in this coordination remains still largely elusive. In order to identify novel genes and mechanisms underlying nitrogen-dependent root morphological changes, we investigated time-dependent changes in the root transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown under sufficient nitrogen or under conditions that induced mild nitrogen deficiency.

Project description:The organs of multicellular species are comprised of cell types that must function together to perform specific tasks. One critical organ function is responding to internal or external change but little is known about how responses are tailored to specific cell types or coordinated among them on a global level. Here we use cellular profiling of five Arabidopsis root cell types in response to a limiting resource, nitrogen, to uncover a vast and predominantly cell-specific response that was largely undetectable using traditional methods. These methods reveal a new class of cell-specific nitrogen responses. As a proof-of-principle, we dissected one cell-specific response circuit that mediates nitrogen-induced changes in root branching from pericycle cells. Thus, cellular response profiling links gene modules to discrete functions in specific cell types. Keywords: cell type comparison, comparative genomic hybridization, genetic modification

Project description:We study the effect of nitrogen limitation on the growth and development of poplar roots. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying morphological and developmental changes driven by low nitrogen in the growth media. We report the effect of nitrogen limitation on the growth and development of poplar roots. Low nitrogen concentration led to increased root elongation followed by lateral root proliferation and finally increased root biomass. These morphological responses correlated with high and specific activation of genes encoding regulators of cell cycle and enzymes involved in cell wall biogenesis, growth and remodeling. Comparative analysis of poplar and Arabidopsis root transcriptomes under nitrogen deficiency indicated many similarities and diversification in the response in the two species. A reconstruction of genetic regulatory network (GRN) analysis revealed a sub-network centered on a PtaNAC1-like transcription factor. Consistent with the GRN predictions, root-specific upregulation of PtaNAC1 in transgenic poplar plants increased root biomass and led to significant changes in the expression of the connected genes specifically under low nitrogen. PtaNAC1 and its regulatory miR164 showed inverse expression profiles during response to LN, suggesting of a micro RNA mediated attenuation of PtaNAC1 transcript abundance in response to nitrogen deprivation.

Poplar roots from low nitrogen treated and untreated from in vitro condition was selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Roots were sampled at 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 504h after transfer to control and low nitrogen media and RNA was extacted.

Experiment Overall Design: The whole experiment was carried out in triplicate with 84 chips in total (28 experiments). The nitrogen response in 5 FACS-sorted root cell types (LRC, lateral root cap; EpiC, epidermis and cortex; EndoP, endodermis and pericycle; Peri, pericycle; Stele, stele), protoplasts and Col-0 whole roots was assayed using microarrays. 5mM KNO3 was used as a nitrogen treatment for 2 hours. 5mM KCl was used as a control treatment for the same length of time. 1mM MSX in combination with 5mM KNO3 (or with 5mM KCl as a control) was used to block the assimilation of KNO3, and 5mM Gln added to restore it in order to separate KNO3 effects from assimilated-nitrogen effects. 5mM KNO3 was either maintained in the protoplast-generating solution (continuous treat) or not (transitory treat) to test how to best preserve the cellular nitrogen-response during the 1 hr protoplast generating procedure. As controls we used protoplasts, whole roots frozen directly after the 2hr treatment or 3.5hr treatment, or whole roots incubated in protoplast-generating solution (minus enzymes; transitory or continuous treated) and then frozen. After FACS-sorting or mock FACS-sorting cells were frozen.

Project description:affy_nitrogen_medicago - affy_nitrogen_medicago - Experiment has been designed to characterize the molecular expression patterns associated to a contrasted modification of the nitrogen status of the whole plant. The systemic effects of nitrogen status modifications are investigated and compared on non nodulated plant supplied with NO3, NH4 or nodulated plants (Sinorhizobium meliloti 2011) supplied with air. The root systems were separated in two compartments of unequal sizes (split root system). Two treatments were applied on the larger compartment in order to modulate the nitrogen status of the plant: for the S treatment, roots are supplied with nutrient solution containing 10 mM NH4NO3,, whereas for the C treatment, roots are supplied with nitrogen free medium. In the case of N2 fixing plants, N limitation was obtained by replacing air by a mixture of Ar and O2 80 per cent and 20 per cent. The effects of these treatments were investigated on roots of the minor compartment supplied continuously with either NO3 1 mM, NH4 1 mM or air (N2) and on the shoots. We were also interested in the molecular expression patterns associated to the roots deprived of N.-The root system of non-nodulated (NO3- and NH4+) or nodulated (N2) plants is split into two unequal parts and each one is installed in a separate compartment. For the S treatement, the major root part is supplied with NH4NO3 10 mM whereas the minor part is supplied with either NO3- 1mM, NH4+ 1mM or N2. For the C treatement, the major root part is supplied with nitrogen-free nutrient solution whereas the minor part is supplied with either NO3- 1mM, NH4plus 1mM or N2. Each treatement is four days long. Samples of roots of six biological types (NO3S, NO3C, NH4S, NH4C, N2S and N2C) were collected. Two biological repeats per biological types have been analyzed. The effect of the S and C treatments were investigated for each N sources by comparing Affymetrix transcriptomes (NO3C vs NO3S, NH4C vs NH4S, N2C vs N2S).

Project description:The effects of nitrogen and cycloheximide treatments on nitrogen response and TF-target identification was tested in the cell-based TARGET assay. For protoplast experiments, Arabidopsis plants were grown on low nitrogen (1mM KNO3) and after 10 days protoplasts were generated from root tissue. Cells were transfected with a vector containing the GR-TGA4 fusion or GR-only empty vector and incubated overnight. In the morning, samples were pre-treated with nitrogen as specified for 2 hours, and +/-cycloheximide for 20 minutes, before TF entry into the nucleus was induced with dexamethasone. 3 hours after dex treatment samples were FACS sorted into RNA extraction buffer. For whole roots, Arabidopsis were grown in liquid media with low nitrogen (1 mM KNO3) in Phytatrays for 11 days. In the morning and at the same time as the protoplasts, the plants were transferred to fresh media containing either 20 mM KCL or 20mM KNO3 + 20mM NH4NO3 for 5 hours. Roots were harvested and immediately frozen in liquid N2.
