Project description:au08-04_dfo - analysis of deferoxamine treated leaves and roots - What are the effects of the siderophore deferoxamine on Arabidopsis leaves and roots? - Plants were allowed to grow for 5-6 weeks. The nutrient solution contains 0.25 mM Ca(NO3)2.4H2O, 1mM KH2PO4, 0.5 mM KNO3, 1mM MgSO4.7H2O, 50 µM H3BO3, 19 µM MnCl2.4H2O, 10 µM ZnCl2, 1 µM CuSO4.5H2O, 0.02 µM Na2MoO4.2H2O and 50 µM FeNa-EDTA. Plants were subjected to an 8 h light/16 h dark cycle, at 19°C, with 70% relative humidity. Leaves of six week old hydroponically grown A. thaliana Col0 plants were infiltrated with 1mM deferoxamine or sterile distilled water. Leaves were harvested 7 and 24 h.p.i. Keywords: time course,treated vs untreated comparison
Project description:The goal of this project is to compare the primary metabolite profile in different tissue types of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Specifically, plants were grown hydroponically under the long-day (16hr light/day) condition at 21C. Tissue samples, including leaves, inflorescences, and roots were harvest 4 1/2 weeks post sowing. Untargeted primary metabolites profiling was carried out using GCTOF.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of an Fd-GOGAT1/GLU1 mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana reveals a multiple stress response and extensive reprogramming of the transcriptome Glutamate plays a central position in the synthesis of a variety of organic molecules in plants and is synthesised from nitrate through a series of enzymatic reactions. Glutamate synthases catalyse the last step in this pathway and two types are present in plants: NADH- or ferredoxin-dependent. Here we report a genome wide microarray analysis of the transcriptional reprogramming that occurs in leaves and roots of the A. thaliana mutant glu1-2 knocked-down in the expression of Fd-GOGAT1 (GLU1; At5g04140), one of the two genes of A. thaliana encoding ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase. Rosette leaves and roots from the glu1-2 mutant, which is a T-DNA knockout of a ferredoxin dependent glutamate synthase in Arabidopsis (locus ID: At5g04140), were analyzed on Affymetrix microarrays. As a reference control, leaves and roots from Col(0) plants were used. The glu1-2 mutant is derived from a Col(0) accession. Four independent biological replicas from leaves and roots were used in the analysis (from both glu1-2 and Col(0) reference). In total 16 hybridizations were done.
Project description:Magnesium (Mg) is essential for many biological processes in plant cells and its deficiency causes yield reduction in crop systems. Low Mg status reportedly impacts on photosynthesis, sucrose partitioning and biomass allocation. However, earlier responses to Mg deficiency are scarcely described. Generally, symptoms of nutrient deficiency appear in specific ages of leaves. Therefore, we hypothesised that transcriptional responses to Mg deficiency are different depending on the ages of leaves, and performed a global transcriptomic analysis in two types of leaves; source and sink leaves of the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana to reveal the earlier responses to Mg deficiency. The global transcriptomic study revealed that short-term Mg deficiency triggers the expression of defence response genes in sink leaves. In roots, although short-term Mg deficiency enhanced the Mg2+ uptake from the environmnet, transcriptional levels of genes encoding putative Mg2+ transporters in roots were unchanged, suggesting non-transcriptional regulation of Mg2+ uptake in roots.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis leaves comparing mock-treated leaves with Botrytis cinerea infected leaves over a time-course (12 and 24 hrs).
Project description:We performed transcriptome analysis using an Agilent Arabidopsis ver.3 44k Microarray (Palo Alto, CA, USA) to profile effect of NMN treatment in uninoculated leaves and inoculated leaves with F. graminearum.
Project description:Root pathogens are a major thread in global crop production and protection strategies are required to sustainably enhance the efficiency of root immunity. Our understanding of root immunity is still limited in comparison to the knowledge gained for the regulation of immune response in leaves. In an effort to reveal the organisation of root immunity in roots, we undertook a cell type-specific transcriptome analysis to identify gene networks in epidermis, cortex and pericycle cells of Arabidopsis roots upon treatment with two immunity elicitors, bacterial microbe-associated molecular pattern flagellin and the endogenous damage-associated molecular pattern Pep1. Our analyses revealed that both elicitors induced cell type-specific immunity gene networks. Interestingly, both elicitors did not alter cell identity determining gene networks. Using sophisticated paired motif promoter analyses, we identified key transcription factor pairs involved in the regulation of cell type-specific immunity networks. In addition, our data show that cell identity networks are liaised with cell immunity networks to activate cell type-specific immune response according to the functional capabilities of each cell type.
