Project description:To gain more insight into cellular responses to mercury, we have undertaken a large-scale analysis of the rice transcriptome during mercury stress.More transcripts were responsive to mercury during short (pooled from 1- and 3-h treatments) , as compared to long (24 h) exposures. After short exposures, these induced genes can be divided into different functional categories, mainly on the basis of cell wall formation, chemical detoxification, secondary metabolism, signal transduction and abiotic stress response. Molecular mechanisms for the mercury toxicity in rice roots. Two-condition experiment, short exposures and long exposures. Comparison of mock control and rice seedlings treated with 25mM Hg during short (pooled from 1- and 3-h treatments), as compared to long (24 h) exposures.; Biological replicates: 3 control replicates (short and long exposures), 3 Hg-treated replicates (short and long exposures).

Project description:The effects of mercury (HgCl2) on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) growth, physiological traits and gene expression profiles were studied. The shoot to root ratio was decreased in the two levels of HgCl2 (500 and 1000 ?M) assayed, which was related primarily with decreases in shoot dry weight. Moreover stomatal conductance was limited and leaf carbon isotope discrimination decreased. Therefore water uptake limitations seem to be an important component of barley responses to HgCl2. Evidences for decreased stomatal conductance and water uptake limitations were further confirmed by the over expression of ABA related transcripts and down regulation of an aquaporin in roots. Root dry weight was only affected at 1000 ?M HgCl2 and root browning was observed, while several transcripts for lignin biosynthesis were up regulated in HgCl2. Microarray analysis further revealed that growth inhibition in HgCl2 was related to increased expression of genes participating in ethylene biosynthesis and down regulation of several genes participating in DNA synthesis, chromatin structure and cell division, cell wall degradation and modification, oxidative pentose phosphate cycle and nitrogen metabolism pathway. Genes involved in detoxification and defence mechanisms were up regulated including several cytochrome P450s, glucosyltransferases and glutathione-s-transferases and amino acid metabolism participatory genes. It is concluded that barley plants survive in the presence of HgCl2 through several mechanisms that include water uptake limitations, shoot and root growth regulation, increased expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis of several plant protection secondary metabolites and finally through detoxification. Six samples were analysed including 3 biological replicates of mercury exposed roots and 3 controls (no mercury added to the growing solution)

Project description:Chromium (Cr) is an important environmental contaminant and also a genotoxic metal ion at high concentration, but its molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways of action in plants is still poorly unraveled. To help characterize the mechanism of molecular and signalling of rice, we present the large-scale, transcriptomic analysis of rice root responses to Cr(VI). We examined the possible involvement of reactive of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium in Cr(VI) signaling transduction pathways, as well as the effect of Cr (VI) on CDPK and MAPK activity. Specially, we used the microarray assay to assess different stage Cr (VI) induced alteration in rice gene expression. This gene discovery effort will help expand our understanding of cellular responses to Cr (VI) treatment, and will identify candidate genes for enhancement of Cr resistance in crop. Two-condition experiment, short exposures and long exposures. Comparison of mock control and rice seedlings treated with 50 μM Cr(VI) during short (pooled from 1- and 3-h treatments), as compared to long (24 h) exposures.; Biological replicates: 3 control replicates (short and long exposures), 3 Cr(VI)-treated replicates (short and long exposures).

Project description:Humans are exposed to both inorganic and organic mercury. While the toxicity of mercury is well established, much remains to be resolved about how different mercurials act at the molecular level. To address this issue, we employed a toxicogenomics approach using the nematode C. elegans. Using sub-, low- or high-toxic exposures of either HgCl2 or CH3HgCl the effects of these mercurials on steady-state mRNA levels for the entire genome were determined. A total of 473 and 2,865 genes were differentially expressed in the HgCl2 and CH3HgCl treatments, respectively. Hierarchical clustering, principal components and pattern analyses indicated that the transcriptional responses of the mercurials were unique.

Mixed-stage C. elegans populations were exposed to 0, 2, 7.5 or 20 uM HgCl2 or 0, 0.75, 2, 7.5 uM CH3HgCl for 24 hours. Three independent experiments were performed for each treatment condition.

Project description:Arsenic (As) is considered as the most common toxic metalloid, but its molecular mode of action is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrated that As(V) induced intracellular ROS production and Ca2+ accumulation in rice roots. To understand the molecular basis of plant cell responses to As better, we have undertaken a large-scale analysis of the rice transcriptome during As(V) stress. Up-regulated genes were enriched in transcripts involved in abiotic stress, chemical detoxification pathways, secondary metabolic process, transcription regulation and protein degradation while down-regulated genes were enriched in transcripts involved in secondary cell wall biogenesis, cell cycle and oligopeptide transporter.
