Project description:To explore the role and target of chloroplast proteases under heat stress, thylakoid membranes were isolated from wild-type and mutant chloroplast thylakoid membrane-localized proteases after heat stress and subjected to comparative quantification by LC-MS/MS analysis using the spectral counting method.
Project description:The intent of the experiment was to infer from transcriptome data the differential activation of LTR retrotransposon family members from Onsen/COPIA78, an Arabidopsis thaliana's heat-activated retrotransposon. For this, we performed Illumina 150 bp pair-end RNA-seq, in both wild-type Col-0 and RdDM mutant nrpd1-3 under control and heat stress.
Project description:We used illumina-based next generation sequencing technology to to identify the regions bound by HSFA1b in the Arabidopsis genome. We sequenced HSFA1b chromatin immunoprecipitated genomic sequences under non-stress and heat stress conditions to understand the changes in the HSFA1b binding map when the growth conditions are switched from favorable to heat stress. We show that the binding map of HSFA1b in the Arabidopsis genome is subject to reconfiguration when the growth conditions are switched from non-stress to heat stress response. We also show that HSFA1b is targeting genes involved in developmental processes beside genes involved in stress response under both conditions indicating that HSFA1b possibly regulates the expression of both developmental and stress genes under non-stress and under heat stress, possibly for a limited duration prior heat acclimation.
Project description:The intent of the experiment was to infer from DNA sequencing the occurrence of extra-chromosomal DNA from Arabidopsis thaliana's heat-activated LTR retrotransposon Onsen/COPIA78. For this, we performed Illumina 150 bp pair-end PCR-free DNA genome re-sequencing, in both wild-type Col-0 and RdDM mutant nrpd1-3 under control and heat stress.
Project description:Nontargeted and targeted metabolomics measurements of abiotic stress responses in three-week-old Arabidopsis thaliana plants' rosette leaf tissue for Col-0 wild type plants and double/triple knockout mutants of aquaporins (pip2;1 pip2;2 and pip2;1 pip2;2 pip2;4) treated with drought, heat at different air humidities, or combined drought-heat stress at different air humidities. This experiment contains FT-ICR-MS measurements for 103 Arabidopsis thaliana rosette leaf samples covering three genotypes under six different environmental conditions. The three genotypes comprise the Col-0 wildtype and two loss-of-function mutants of aquaporins, a pip2;1 pip2;2 double mutant and a pip2;1 pip2;2 pip2;4 triple mutant (respective AGI locus identifiers: AT3G53420, AT2G37170, AT5G60660). The six conditions include control condition (well-watered, 22 °C, 70% relative air humidity), drought stress (one week without watering), heat stress without changing the absolute humidity of the ambient air (6 hours at 33 °C, 37% relative air humidity), heat stress with supplemented air humidity to maintain a constant vapor pressure deficit before and during the heat episode (6 hours at 33 °C, 84% relative air humidity), and the combinations of drought pretreatment with each of the two heat stress variants (one week of drought followed by 6 hours of heat stress). Samples from all conditions were harvested at the same time (within 15 min starting at 5 pm). For validation, GC-TOF-MS measurements were done for two genotypes (wildtype, double mutant) and two conditions (drought, control) on partially overlapping samples.
