Transcriptome analysis after ectopically expressing KAN1 in SAM epidermis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We ectopically expressed KAN1 in epidermis in ap1 cal background by using AtML1 promoter driven inducible KAN1-2GFP for RNA-Seq studies. Expression of this transgenes in ap1 cal background gives phenotype similar to their expression in wild-type (WT) backgrounds. For pML1>>KAN1-2GFP , we sorted the epidermal cells using FACS, after their induction of 6 hours or 16 hours. As a control we collected the epidermal cells after 6 or 16hr induction of pML1::GR-LHG4 in pML1::BFPer background. Q-PCR analysis on extracted RNA showed the successful sorting and regulation of known target genes of KAN1.

Project description:We ubiqoutesly expressed mir165a (pUBQ>>mir165a) in ap1 cal background for RNA-Seq studies. Expression of this transgenes in ap1 cal background gives phenotype similar to their expression in wild-type (WT) backgrounds. We induced the transgenes for 8 hours or 16 hours. As a control we used pUBQ::GR-LHG4 transgeneic line. Q-PCR analysis on extracted RNA showed the successful down regulation of known target genes of class III HD ZIPs.
Project description:The transcription factors LEAFY (LFY) and APETALA1 (AP1), together with the AP1 paralog CAULIFLOWER (CAL), control the onset of flower development in a partially redundant manner. This redundancy is thought to be mediated, at least in part, through the regulation of a shared set of target genes. However, whether these genes are independently or cooperatively regulated by LFY and AP1/CAL, is currently unknown. To better understand the regulatory relationship between LFY and AP1/CAL during floral initiation, we monitored the activity of LFY in the absence of AP1/CAL function. We found that the regulation of several known LFY target genes is unaffected by AP1/CAL perturbation, while others appear to require AP1/CAL activity. Furthermore, we obtained evidence that LFY and AP1/CAL control the expression of some genes in an antagonistic manner. Notably, these include key regulators of floral initiation such TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1), which had been previously reported to be directly repressed by both LFY and AP1. We show here that TFL1 expression is suppressed by AP1 but promoted by LFY. We further demonstrate that LFY has an inhibitory effect on flower formation in the absence of AP1/CAL activity. We propose that LFY and AP1/CAL may act as part of an incoherent feed-forward loop to control the establishment of a stable developmental program for the formation of flowers.
Project description:This experiment describes gene expression after the activation of APETALA1-GR, to study and identify AP1 target genes. We used a 35S:AP1-GR ap1 cal line to induce a synchronized response activating the AP1-GR fusion protein in ap1 cal inflorescence-like meristems through dexamethasone or dexamethasone+cycloheximide treatment. Tissue samples were collected at 3hrs after the treatment. The expression profiles of the individual samples were then analyzed by gene expression profiling using whole-genome oligonucleotide arrays (Agilent, custom-commercial). We treated inflorescences of 35S:AP1-GR ap1-1 cal-1 plants with a dexamethasone-containing or a mock solution, or with identical solutions that contained in addition 10 M-NM-<M cycloheximide. Tissue was collected 3 hours after the treatment. Samples from each of the four biological replicates resulted in a set of four hybridization pairs: Mock vs. Dex, Mock vs. Chx, Mock vs. Dex+Chx, and Chx vs. Dex+Chx. Dye polarities were switched between biological replicates.

Project description:rs11-09_meotic - time course expression profile of ap1-cal after induction of an ap1-transgene - CDKs are major regulators of the mitotic as well as the meiotic cell cycle. In comparison with the mitotic cell cycle much less is known about the regulation of meiosis, especially in plants. One of the reasons for this is the very low abundance and the difficult accessibility of cell undergoing meiosis. We have developed a system to enrich for meiocytes. This will be the material with which we will search for CDK substrates in a biochemical approach. To first get an overview about the meiotic genes expressed in this system, we want to perform here a time series at four time points after the induction that leads to the synchronized development of meiocytes. The in the microarray identified genes, will then set the frame for the upcoming biochemical experiments. - An ap1-cal double mutants carrying an Glucocorticoid-receptor fusion to AP1 was indcued and samples were collected 2 days after induction (dai), 8dapi, 9dai, 10dai and 11dai. Then, the expression profile of 2dai were compared with 8dai, 8 with 9, 9 with 10, and 10 with 11. 12 dye-swap - time course
Project description:Despite the importance of Nitric oxide (NO) in both plant and animal development, the regulatory and mechanism of NO function remain elusive. To test if response to NO in the ap1/cal mutant is comparable to the Col-o wild type, we then analysed the genome wide transcriptome profiling of NO responsive genes both in the wild type and ap1/cal seedling using RNA-seq. We observed that about 88% of differential expressed genes in wild type were overlapped with ap1/cal mutant.

Tissue samples were collected immediately after the treatment, as well as subsequent timepoints. The expression profiles of the individual samples were then analyzed by gene expression profiling using whole-genome oligonucleotide arrays (Agilent, custom-commercial) Four sets of biologically independent tissue samples were collect before DEX-induction (day 0, 0d), as well as at 2 days, 4 days and 8 days after the treatment. Samples for each timepoint and biological replicate were co-hybridized as indicated; one sample was labeled with Cy3 and the other with Cy5. The dyes used for labeling RNA from a given timepoint were switched for two of the replicate experiments, to reduce dye-related artifacts. This experimental setup resulted in a total of 3 hybridizations per set (0days vs 2days, 2days vs 4days, and 4days vs 8days), and an even number (2) of hybridizations of each dye polarity per comparison.
