Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of autotetraploidy on gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana by comparing diploid versus tetraploid transcriptomes. In particular, this included the comparison of the transcriptome of different tetraploid A. thaliana ecotypes (Col-0 vs. Ler-0). The study was extended to address further aspects. One was the comparison of the transcriptomes in subsequent generations. This intended to obtain information on the genome wide stability of autotetraploid gene expression. Another line of work compared the transcriptomes of different diploid vs. tetraploid tissues. This aimed to investigate whether particular gene groups are specifically affected during the development of A. thaliana autotetraploids.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of diploid and tetraploid Arabidopsis dark-grown hypocotyls. The aim of this study was to identify ploidy-related genes involved in the determination of cell size. This study showed that a group of genes involved in lipid transport/localization/binding were downregulated in a defined region of the tetraploid hypocotyl when compared to the diploid hypocotyl.
Project description:Tetraploid cells are more resistant against genotoxic stress (irradiation, platinum compounds, topoisomerase inhibitors) than their diploid precursors. Here, we studied the effect of cisplatin and/or Chk1 inhibition on the transcriptome of diploid and tetraploid HCT116 cells

Project description:We propose that abnormal DNA content in tetraploid cells can alter the gene expression profile, contributing to the cellular transformation. To test this hypothesis, we employ mRNA microarray to compare the gene expression profile in transformed tetraploid cells with that in the parent diploid cells. Keywords: gene expression profile determination Total RNA were extracted from diploid or tetraploid cells (n = 3 for each cell lines. mRNA microarray hybridization was conducted. Data were collected and analyzed.
Project description:Reciprocal crosses of a diploid Arabidopsis with different ploidies results in different endosperm development patterns and phenotype. Typically if the ploidy is higher on the maternal side, there are fewer endosperm cells which cellularize early, and conversely, if the paternal ploidy is higher, there is more number of endosperm cells which cellularize late. Crosses involving diploid and tetraploid Arabidopsis (C24) are viable, whereas crosses involving the diploid and hexaploid, even though exhibit the above mentioned directional trend in endosperm development, abort (Scott et al 1998). The 'maternalised' and 'paternalised' development of endosperm is also observed in crosses involving some Arabidopsis mutants. Mutants in the fis class of genes, e.g. fis1-medea, when crossed with a diploid Arabidopsis (pollen parent) show endosperm development-seed development similar to a diploid (seed parent) crossed with hexaploid pollen parent. Reciprocal crosses of homozygous met1 and diploid Arabidopsis also exhibit reciprocal trends in endosperm development, where a homozygous met1 mutant (seed parent) crossed with diploid is similar in phenotype to a diploid (seed parent) - tetraploid cross. Endosperm development in the reciprocal cross has phenotypic similarity to the tetraploid (seed parent)-diploid cross (Adams et al 2000). We are interested in understanding gene profiles and trends in expression underlying the endosperm development in the interploidy crosses as well as the fis and met1 mutant.
Project description:Haploid, diploid, and tetraploid yeast were experimentally evolved in 2% raffinose medium. After 250 generations, we assessed the gene expression alterations in 2 evolved haploids, 2 evolved diploids, and 4 evolved tetraploids relative to the diploid ancestor.
