Project description:Comparison of TopHat alignments and assessment of spurious splice junctions for 32nt and 76nt read lengths. Total RNA from 2-week-old Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia) seedlings grown on MS plates was isolated using RNeasy Plant Mini Kit from Qiagen. To remove any contaminating DNA, RNA was treated with DNAse. Isolation of poly (A) mRNA and preparation of cDNA library were carried out using the Illumina TrueSeq RNA kit. Sequencing (72 cycle) was done on Illumina Genome Analyzer II.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana cotyledons comparing ecotype Col-0 (Control) with lea13 T-DNA line to elucidate the response mechanism to drought stress conditions that rely on LEA protein function.
Project description:A dye swap experiment to compare Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Col-0 with Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Ler, both grown to Boyes scale 1.04 at VIB, Plant systems biology, Gent, Belgium
Project description:Proteins from plant shoot and root tissues were extracted from wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia (Col-0). They were enriched on conditioned U(VI)-loaded and U(VI)-free Duolite C467 beads. The enriched proteins were identified and quantified by label-free shotgun proteomics.
Project description:Wild type Columbia and serrate-1 globular stage embryos were sequenced in order to profile miRNAs which are expressed in embryogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
Project description:The goal of this study was to compare the transcriptional profile (RNA-seq) of imbibed Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia-0 ecotype seeds that were treated with a 20 min red or far red pulse. The red-light pulse induces germination.
Project description:In this study, we used a cross-species network approach to uncover nitrogen (N)-regulated network modules conserved across a model and a crop species. By translating gene network knowledge from the data-rich model Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana, ecotype Columbia-0) to a crop, rice (Oryza sativa spp. japonica (Nipponbare)), we identified evolutionarily conserved N-regulatory modules as targets for translational studies to improve N use efficiency in transgenic plants.
Project description:To comprehensively investigate the effects of glutathione on the gene expression, the microarray analysis was performed in the glutathione-fed wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana. Wild-type Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia-0) were fed with 1 mM oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and 2 mM reduced glutathione (GSH) for comparison at equal nitrogen equivalents. To examine the effects of glutathione other than nitrogen at equal nitrogen equivalents, plants were fed with 3 mM NH4NO3. Plants grown by water were used as a control.
