Project description:rs06-07_della - della-regulation of salt stress responses - Identification of DELLA-dependent dowtream targets in response to salt stress - Aim was to determine downstream target of DELLA proteins involved in salt stress tolerance. Wt, ga1-3, penta seeds were sterilized, sown on MS agar plates then put for stratification for 3 days at 4degreeC. Plates were placed in growth cabinet for 9 days. Seedlings were transferred to 24 well-plates, with 2 seedlings per well (0.5 ml MS liquid per well). Plates were placed in the same condition for 3 days. Finally, NaCl were added (final concentration 200 mM), except for the control. The salt treatment was applied for 30 min and 1h. Treatment was stopped by freezing in liquid nitrogen. Keywords: dose response,gene knock out,time course

Project description:Gibberellin (GA) promotes plant growth by destabilizing DELLA proteins. DELLA proteins integrate multiple hormonal and environmental stress responses. We investigated the role of GA and DELLA proteins in plant defence. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression controlled by DELLA proteins and identified distinct classes of differentially regulated genes in response to pathogens, hormones or pathogen elicitors.
Project description:DELLA proteins act as hubs that relay environmental information to the multiple transcriptional circuits that control growth and development through physical interaction with transcription factors from different families. We have analyzed the presence of one DELLA protein at the Arabidopsis genome by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to large-scale sequencing and we find that it binds at the promoters of multiple genes. Enrichment analysis shows a strong preference for cis elements recognized by specific transcription factor families. In particular, we demonstrate that DELLA proteins are recruited by type-B ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORS (ARR) to the promoters of cytokinin-regulated genes, where they act as transcriptional co-activators. The biological relevance of this mechanism is underpinned by the necessity of simultaneous presence of DELLAs and ARRs to restrict root meristem growth and to promote photomorphogenesis.
