Project description:Expression analysis was performed with two TDNA insertion mutants of taf4b i.e; taf4bprm (TDNA insertion in promoter region) and taf4bint (TDNA insertion in intronic region), Taf4b overexpression lines, taf4bprmcpr5 double mutant lines (Double mutant was generated by crossing taf4bprm with cpr5) and Col-0 in normal condition as well as with taf4bprm mutant and Col-0 infected with fungi AB (Alternaria brassicicola) and bacteria ES4 (Pseudomonas syringae pv.maculicola ES4326 ) in different perspectives. Affymatrix expression analysis was executed to provide mechanistic details of regulation of genes by Taf4b in plants.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of two different mutants of the condensin II subunit CAP-D3. Four week-old plantlets from the T-DNA insertion lines SAIL_826_B06 (cap-d3 SAIL) and SALK_094776 (cap-d3 SALK) were compared to Col-0 wild-type plants.
Project description:By knocking out genes encoding specific arogenate dehydrase (ADT) enzymes in Arabidopsis, variable reductions in lignin can be achieved. To understand how ADT composition affects plant phenotypes and biomolecular systems, we successfully constructed single and multiple ADT knockout (KO) mutants in Arabidopsis. Using these mutants, a multi-omics (metabolome, transcriptome and proteome) evaluation was conducted using GC- and LC-MS, RNA-Seq, and iTRAQ labeled LC-MS/MS technologies. Identifications include primary and secondary metabolites, transcripts, and proteins in leaf and stem samples taken at 4 weeks of age from 9 KO and wild-type (WT) lines.
