Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana plants are grown for one week in a hydroponic growth system and transferred to new plant medium containing low levels of Caesium-137 (control is transferred to new medium with no radioactivity) and left for further two weeks. Levels of Caesium-137 are chosen according to research and are reflecting occurring levels found in radioactive contaminated soil. The plants are then harvested and the samples divided into shoot and root samples.

Project description:At high concentrations ceasium (Cs) is toxic to plant growth. This toxic effect may occur when Cs blocks potassium (K) uptake mechanisms in plants. Consequently, plants starved of K and plants exposed to toxic concentrations of Cs should have similar gene expression patterns. To test this hypothesis, Arabidopsis will initially be grown on agar containing 1/10 MS salts before being transferred to either 1/10 MS nutrient solution (control plants), 1/10 MS nutrient solution containing 2 mM Cs, or 1/10 MS nutrient solution with no K. Roots and shoot will then be harvested seven days after transfer and used to challenge ATH1 GeneChips.

Project description:This experiment was annotated by TAIR (http://arabidopsis.org). Col-0 suspension cells provided by Dr. C. Koncz and Dr. M. Umeda. 15 ml of Arabidopsis Col-0 suspension cells (Mathur et al. 1998) was transferred to 35 ml of a fresh modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1 ug /ml 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid and 3% sucrose every 7 day, and cultured on a rotary shaker at 120 rpm in the dark at 22 C for subculture. For xylem vessel element induction, a 7.5 ml aliquot of 7-day-old subcultured cells was transferred into 42.5 ml of fresh medium that included 1 uM brassinolide and 10 mM H3BO3, and cultured as described above. The frequency of xylem vessel element formation was calculated as the proportion of xylem vessel elements to the number of living cells and the vessel elements.

Project description:The aim of this study is to study gene expression in Brassica oleracea in shoot tissues of plants grown under contrasting P supplies (see Hammond JP et al., 2003, Plant Physiology, 132, 578-596 for background). Seeds of B. oleracea (var. alboglabra, A12dH) were first washed in 70% (v/v) ethanol/water, rinsed in distilled water and surface sterilised using 50% (v/v) domestic bleach/water. Seeds were rinsed and imbibed for 3 to 5 days in sterile distilled water at 4°C to break dormancy. Following imbibition, B. oleracea seeds were sown in un-vented, polycarbonate culture boxes (Sigma-Aldrich Company Ltd., Dorset UK). Seedlings were grown for 21 days on perforated polycarbonate discs (diameter 91 mm by 5 mm) placed on 75 ml of 0.8% (w/v) agar containing 1% (w/v) sucrose and a basal salt mix. Roots grew into the agar, but shoots remained on the opposite side of the disc. After 21 days, seedlings were transferred, still on polycarbonate discs, to a hydroponics system situated in a Saxcil growth cabinet (16 h daylength, set to 22°C and 80% humidity). Each polycarbonate disc was placed on a light-proof 500 ml beaker over 450 ml of nutrient solution. After 7 days, half the plants were transferred to nutrient solution containing no phosphate and the other half remained on full nutrient solution (control plants). Shoots were harvested 100 h after the withdrawal of P. !Samples were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was extracted using the TRIzol extraction method and cleaned through a Qiagen RNeasy column.

Project description:This experiment was annotated by TAIR (http://www.arabidopsis.org). In this experiment we examined whole genome response to herbicidal levels of 2,4-D application. Arabidopsis plants (14 days) grown in vitro on MS medium in petri dishes were flooded with 1 mL stock of 2,4-D to enable root uptake. Plants were treated with 1.0 mM 2,4-D for a period of 1 hour immediately after which RNA was extracted and used for the microarray based experiments. the goal of this study was to explore the herbicidal mode of action of auxinic herbicide 2,4-D.

Project description:Our aim is to study the circadian expression of genes to aid in our attempt of modelling the Arabidopsis circadian clock. Circadian microarray data have previously been published for plants after white light (WL)-dark cycles, using the 8k chip (Harmer et al. 2000). We intend to repeat this experiment using the 26k chips and are coordinating with Dr. Harmer, who is pursuing complementary experiments in UC Davis. Plants will be transferred to continuous WL after entrainment to 12h:12h light dark cycles. RNAs will be harvested every 4 hours over two days, with the same accession and sampling intervals used previously by Harmer et al. The two days of sampling provide internal replication. Our experience shows that this is the most economical design: it is easier to identify rhythms over a two-day timecourse than in two replicates of a single day. Hence: 13 RNA samples on 13 chips in total. METHOD: Seed was sown on MS agar plates with 3% sucrose, imbibed at 4 C for 96 hours. Seed was then entrained for 7 days at 22C, in cycles of 12 hours white light, 12 hours darkness. After 7 days they were transferred to constant white light at 22 C: this is time 0h. Tissue harvested at the time points shown after time 0.
