Project description:We studied early events of flower formation with a temporal resolution by employing a floral induction system to drive synchronised flower development from inflorescence meristem-like tissue (Wellmer et al. (2006)). We generated a developmental time series including vegetative leaf tissue, young developing flowers at zero (t0) and two days after induction of flower development (t2), and fully expanded inflorescences. We analysed histone mark dynamics at those time points and the transcriptomics data presented here served to compare histone mark dynamics to transcriptome dynamics.

Project description:Flower maturation consists of several events that contribute to reproductive success as flowers open, including petal expansion, stamen filament elongation, pollen release, nectary maturation, stigma growth, and gynoecium maturation to support pollen tube growth. The Arabidopsis transcription factors ARF6 (Auxin Response Factor 6) and ARF8 regulate all of these processes, in part by activating jasmonate biosynthesis. Jasmonates in turn activate genes encoding the transcription factors MYB21 and MYB24, which mediate a subset of the processes controlled by ARF6 and ARF8. This experiment was designed to characterize gene expression in flowers before and after they open, and to determine how arf6 arf8 and myb21 myb24 mutation combinations affect these gene expression patterns. Three biological replicates were prepared at each of two developmental stages, stage 12 (oldest closed buds) and stage 13 (youngest open flowers), for three genotypes (Wild type, arf6-2 arf8-3, and myb21-5 myb24-5). For the mutant genotypes, stage 13 flowers do not actually open, so corresponding flowers of equivalent age were chosen based on the position of open flowers in wild-type inflorescences.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of ARF6 and ARF8 to flower gene expression. Flowers from arf6 arf8 plants undergo a developmental arrest at approximately stage 12, just prior to flower opening. Flowers from wild-type, ARF6/arf6 arf8/arf8, and arf6 arf8 plants were separated into stage 1-10 flowers, stage 11+12 flowers, and stage 13-14 flowers to define the developmental stages at which ARF6 and ARF8 are required for gene expression. Keywords: comparison of wild type and arf6 arf8 mutants

Project description:Flower development is a dynamics process in which floral organs are produced from pools of stem cells residing in meristems (Smyth et al., 1990). In order to obtain a high resolution map of the changes of gene expression during this process thus to provide insights into specific expression patterns and their underlying gene regulatory networks, an inducible system which allows us to obtain synchronized flowers (Wellmer et al., 2006) was used to collect stage-specific floral tissues at four stages (stages 0, 2, 4 and 8) for transcriptome profiling by RNA-seq . These stages represent the status of inflorescence meristem, floral meristem specification, floral organ specification and floral organ differentiation, respectively during Arabidopsis flower development.

Project description:This experiment describes gene expression during early Arabidopsis flower development. We used a 35S:AP1-GR ap1 cal line to induce synchronized flower development by specifically activating the AP1-GR fusion protein in ap1 cal inflorescence-like meristems through dexamethasone treatment. Tissue samples were collected immediately after the treatment, as well as at one-day intervals for the following five days. The expression profiles of the individual samples were then analyzed by gene expression profiling using whole-genome microarrays (Operon). Keywords: time course

Project description:Jatropha curcas L. is a potential biofuel plant. Application of exogenous cytokinin (6-benzyladenine, BA) on its inflorescence buds can significantly increase the number of female flowers, thereby improving seed yield. To investigate which genes and signal pathways are involved in the response to cytokinin in J. curcas inflorescence buds, we monitored transcriptional activity in inflorescences at 0, 3, 12, 24, and 48 h after BA treatment using a microarray. We detected 5,555 differentially expressed transcripts over the course of the experiment, which could be grouped into 12 distinct temporal expression patterns. We also identified 31 and 131 transcripts in J. curcas whose homologs in model plants function in flowering and phytohormonal signaling pathways, respectively. According to the transcriptional analysis of genes involved in flower development, we hypothesized that BA treatment delays floral organ formation by inhibiting the transcription of the A, B and E classes of floral organ-identity genes, which would allow more time to generate more floral primordia in inflorescence meristems, thereby enhancing inflorescence branching and significantly increasing flower number per inflorescence. BA treatment might also play an important role in maintaining the flowering signals by activating the transcription of GIGANTEA (GI) and inactivating the transcription of CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) and TERMINAL FLOWER 1b (TFL1b). In addition, exogenous cytokinin treatment could regulate the expression of genes involved in the metabolism and signaling of other phytohormones, indicating that cytokinin and other phytohormones jointly regulate flower development in J. curcas inflorescence buds. Our study provides a framework to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying changes in flowering traits in response to cytokinin treatment in J. curcas inflorescence buds. The results provide valuable information related to the mechanisms of cross-talk among multiple phytohormone signaling pathways in woody plants.

Project description:The production of heather (Calluna vulgaris) in Germany is highly dependent on cultivars with mutated flower morphology, the so-called diplocalyx bud bloomers. So far, this unique flower type of C. vulgaris has not been reported in any other plant species. The flowers are characterised by an extremely extended flower attractiveness, since the flower buds remain closed throughout the complete flowering season. The flowers of C. vulgaris bud bloomers are male sterile, because the stamens are missing. Furthermore, petals are converted into sepals. Therefore the diplocalyx bud bloomer flowers consist of two whorls of sepals directly followed by the gynoecium. A broad comparison of wild type and bud bloomer’s flowers was undertaken to identify genes differentially expressed in the bud flowering phenotype and in the wild type of C. vulgaris. Transcriptome sequence reads were generated using next generation 454 sequencing of two flower type specific cDNA libraries. In total, 360,000 sequence reads were obtained, assembled to 12,200 contigs, functionally mapped, and annotated. Transcript abundances in wild type and bud bloomer’s libraries were compared and 365 differentially expressed genes detected. Among these differentially genes, CvPI was identified which is the orthologue of the Arabidopsis B gene PISTILLATA (PI) and considered as the most promising candidate gene. Quantitative PCR was performed to analyse the gene expression levels of two C. vulgaris B genes CvPI and CvAP3 in both flower types. CvAP3 which is the orthologue of the Arabidopsis B gene APETALA (AP3) turned out to be ectopically expressed in sepals of wild type and bud bloomer flowers. CvPI expression was proven to be reduced in the flowers of bud blooming cultivars. Differential expression patterns of the B-class genes CvAP3 and CvPI were identified to cause characteristics of flower morphology in C. vulgaris wild type and bud blooming flowers leading to the following hypotheses: ectopic expression of CvAP3 is a convincing explanation for the formation of a completely petaloid perianth in the wild type and the “bud flowering” phenotype. In C. vulgaris, CvPI is essential for determination of petal and stamen identity. The characteristic transition of petals into sepals potentially depends on the observed deficiency of CvPI and CvAP3 expression in bud blooming flowers. However, the complete loss of stamens in bud blooming flowers remains to be explained.

Project description:We report here the RNAseq data generated from a drought experiment using tomato leaves (Solanum lycopersicum), in which three timepoints and two treatments were collected. More specifically, RNAseq was generated from tomato plants prior to drought (T0), during a period of drought (T1) and after a period of recovery from drought (T2). At timepoints 1 and 2 (T1 & T2), a control set of plants that were continuously watered are also included. Furthermore, at each timepoint, each leaf was dissected into two parts, including the vein and intervein. The samples are therefore named as Tissue/Timepoint/Treatment, and include VT0W (vein, T0, watered), VT1W (vein, T1, watered), VT1D (vein, T1, drought), VT2D, VT2W and IVT0W (intervein, T0, Watered), IVT1D, IVT1W, IVT2D, IVT2W. Note that VT2D and IVT2D, while named "drought", were actually recovered from drought.
