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:Background: Release of the caesium radioisotope 137Cs during weapons testing and industrial activity has contaminated thousands of hectares of agricultural land. Ingesting 137Cs has damaging and, sometimes, fatal effects. Most Cs enters the food chain through plants. The generation of _safe_ crops that exclude Cs and can be cultivated on contaminated land requires knowledge about the mechanisms for Cs uptake. Caesium is chemically similar to potassium (K) and might enter plants through K+ transporters in the plasma membrane of root cells. To determine which transporters mediate Cs entry to plants, we have compared the accumulation of Cs and K by wildtype Arabidopsis with mutants lacking specific K+ transporters. Preliminary results showed that Cs concentration in the shoots of akt1-1, cngc1 and cngc4 (obtained from the Wisconsin T-DNA knockout facility) differed significantly from the Wassilewskija wildtype (Ws-2). A cursory investigation of their transcriptome, using the Affymetrix Arabidopsis 8K GeneChip, showed that the expression of several genes encoding K+ transporters differed between mutants and wildtype plants. The aim of this GarNet project is to confirm the previous observations and to identify further genes that are differentially expressed in mutant and wildtype plants and which might impact on Cs accumulation. Methods: Arabidopsis mutants akt1-1 (N3762), cngc1 and cngc4 and their parental ecotype Wassilewskija -2 (N1601) will be sown on MS agar and transferred to hydroponics 21 days after germination. Seedlings will be grown for a further 7 days on full nutrient solution under continuous light in a Saxcil growth cabinet. RNA will be extracted from roots of mutant and parent (control) plants at the same growth stage and twelve complete-genome Affymetrix GeneChips (3 biological replicates of material from wildtype and 3 mutants) are requested to determine the differences in their transcriptome under comparable environmental conditions.

Project description:Rooted sugarcane plantlets, originated from in vitro meristem culture (genotype SP80-3280, CTC, Brazil), were greenhouse acclimatized by initial cultivation on 1/20th strength Hoagland and Arnon (1950) nutrient solution. Nutrient solutions were aired from an oil-less compressor and replaced every 7 days, increasing nutrient concentration to ¼ strength in 3 weeks. Plants were then individually transferred to 2.8 L pots filled with fresh ¼ strength nutrient solution. After one week, half of the plants were transferred to fresh solution containing 250 µM Pi, while the other half was transferred to nutrient solution deprived of phosphate (Pi), with H2PO4 being replaced by H2SO4 (Muchhal et al., 1996). Roots from six plants from each treatment (0 and 250 µM Pi) were harvested 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after exposure to phosphate starvation and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. For each time point and each treatment, root samples were aggregated in three pools of two samples each. Extraction of total RNA was performed separately on each sample pool.

Project description:Plants live in soils that vary considerably, both spatially and over time, in terms of nutrient composition and pH. Consistently, plants have to recognize and adapt to these changes by altering their structure and metabolism. The goal of this array analysis is to characterize the global transcriptional response to external pH changes in roots, which to date is almost unexplored. Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-0) were grown in hydroponic cultures in basic nutrient solution. Two days before treatment the media was shifted to nutrient solution containing 5mM MES, pH 6. At the time of the treatment start (4 hours after light on) the plants were shifted to nutrient solutions of pH 4.5 and 6.0 (control). Root RNA samples from time point 1 and 8 hour after treatment start is used for array analyzes. Keywords: Expression profilling by array

Project description:We used Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 for all experiments. The plants were grown hydroponically on nutrient solution as described previously [Plant J 1999, 18(5):509-519]. Briefly, plants were grown on sand, placed in custom-designed styrofoam rafts, in a growth chamber (EGC, Chagrin Falls, OH, USA) at 22°C with 60 mmol photons m-2s-1 light intensity and 8 h/16 h light/dark cycles. The seeds were initially germinated in tap water. After one week, the water was replaced with a complete nutrient solution [Plant J 1999, 18(5):509-519]. All the experiments were performed with 6 week old plants. Nutrient solutions were renewed weekly and on the day before the experiments. For treatments, individual rafts were transferred to containers with 300mL of nutrient solution supplemented with various concentrations of nitrate (as a mix of 2/1 KNO3/Ca(NO3)2) and/or sucrose. The N-free nutrient solutions contained 0.25 mM K2SO4 and 0.25 mM CaCl2 instead of KNO3 and Ca(NO3)2. Plants were transferred to treatments media at the beginning of the light period and were harvested 8h afterwards. Roots and leaves were harvested separately and quickly frozen in liquid N2.
