Project description:In order to identify targets of the transcription factor AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR5 / MONOPTEROS (ARF5/MP), we compared transcriptomes of mp-B4149 mutant seedlings (9 day-old) and seedlings carrying the dexamethasone-inducible version of the MP inhibitor protein BODENLOS (GR-bdl). Without dexamethasone (DEX) treatment, this line is identical to the wild-type, while DEX treatment leads to strong inhibition of ARF-dependent transcription. To remove all endogenous MP-inhibiting Aux/IAA proteins, we treated mp or GR-bdl seedlings during 1 hour with auxin (50 micromolar Indole-3-Acetic Acid), either with or without a pretreatment with 10 micromolar DEX for 1 hour. Genes that are activated by MP are expected to br downregulated in mp seedlings and in the GR-bdl line afer DEX treatment. We used biological duplicates for each of the three treatments.

Project description:Comparison of mp mutant seedlings with transgenics carrying a dexamethasone-inducible GR-bodenlos gene. Seedlings were pretreated with control medium or medium containing dexamethasone, followed by a 1 hour auxin treatment, and expression profiles were compared using Affymetrix ATH1 arrays.

Keywords: Transcriptional profiling of transcription factor targets Mp mutant and GR-bdl seeds were germinated on solid 1/2MS media, and transferred to liquid medium after 9 days of horizontal growth. Duplicate cultures were generated for mp mutants, and quadruplicates for the GR-bdl line. 10 micromolar DEX was added to both mp cultures and to two of the GR-bdl cultures, and seedlings were gently shaken during 1 hour. Then, 50 micromolar IAA was added to all 6 cultures and seedlings were incubated with gentle shaking for another hour. Total RNA was isolated from the seedlings using a QIAgen RNeasy kit, and reverse transcription, in-vitro transcription, cRNA labling and fragemntation was done according to established methods (Schmid et al., Nature Genetics [2005] 37, 501-506). Labeled cRNA was hybridized to Arabidopsis ATH1 arrays.
Project description:Transgenic Arabidopsis plants carrying dexamethasone-inducible barley cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CaMV35S>GR>HvCKX2) and agrobacterial isopentenyl transferase (CaMV35S>GR>ipt) constructs were profiled to elucidate proteome-wide response to cold stress under different light conditions.
Project description:To identify targets of the NAC transcription factor SOMBRERO (SMB, AT1G79580), we used a dexamethasone-inducible p35S::SMB-GR line (DOI: 10.1105/tpc.109.072272), comparing gene expression in dexamethasone-treated and mock-treated 5-day old seedlings 6 hours after estradiol or mock treatment.
Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) is expressed in the boundary between the shoot apical meristem and initiating lateral organs. To identify genes regulated by LOB activity, we used an inducible 35S:LOB-GR line. This analysis identified genes that are differentially expressed in response to ectopic LOB activity. 35S:LOB-GR and Col wild-type seedlings were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) or mock-treated. Three biological replicates were conducted for each treatment.
Project description:In order to identify relevant target genes of RAX1 (AT5G23000) involved in meristem initiation in Arabidopsis we generated dexamethasone inducible lines expressing either a mCherry-RAX1-GR or a mCherry-GR (mock construct) fusion protein. We analysed differential gene regulation after 4 hours of dexamethasone or mock treatment in 14 day-old seedlings. Paired-end sequencing was performed using 3 biological replicate for each genotype and differentially expressed genes were identified for the interaction of genotype and treatment.
Project description:Dexamethasone applied to WT, GR-AS2, GR-KAN1, GR-REV and GR-STM seedlings and expression measured at 0, 30, 60 and 120 minutes after Dex application.
Project description:IND is a regulator of fruit development in Arabidopsis thaliana. To identify genes regulated by IND we performed array based transcriptome analysis of Dexamethasone (DEX) inducible IND transgenic seedlings. One week old 35S::IND:GR seedlings were treated with DMSO, Auxin, DEX and Auxin plus DEX for 6 h. Three biological independent experiments were performed.
Project description:ABI3 is a key regulator of seed development in Arabidopsis and other plants.To identify genes regulated by ABI3 we performed array based transcriptome analysis of Dexamethasone inducible ABI3 transgenic seedlings. ABI3 mostly in concert with abscisic acid (ABA) was found to activate genes specifically expressed during the maturation phase of seed development. Two weeks old wildtype and 35S::ABI3::GR seedlings were treated with ABA, Dexamethasone (DEX) and ABA plus Dexamethasone for 4 h. Two biological independent experiments were performed. Wildtype was induced to control for DEX-induction of genes.
