Project description:Cytosine DNA methylation (mC) is a genome modification that can regulate the expression of coding and non-coding genetic elements. However, little is known about the involvement of mC in response to environmental cues. We performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of mC in Arabidopsis grown under phosphate starvation.
Project description:To explore mechanisms involved in the plant-microbe interactions, we proceeded with genome-wide transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis roots incubated with E. coli Bl21 for 24 hours. Control plants did not receive E. coli.
Project description:We demonstrate that a combination of BN-PAGE and size exclusion chromatography captures both transient and stable protein interactions in the plant mitochondria and in doing so is able to identify known and novel interactions. We additionally demonstrate that some of these interactions are conditional paving the way for a deeper analysis of the dynamics of their (dis)assembly.
