Project description:Rapamycin-sensitive transgenic Arabidopsis lines (BP12) expressing yeast FK506 Binding Protein12 (FKBP12) were developed. Inhibition of TOR in BP12 plants by rapamycin resulted in slower overall root, leaf and shoot growth and development leading to poor nutrient uptake and light energy utilization. Genetic and physiological studies together with RNA-Seq and metabolite analysis of TOR-suppressed lines revealed that TOR regulates development and lifespan in Arabidopsis by restructuring cell growth, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, gene expression, ribosomal RNA and protein synthesis.
Project description:ngs2018_05_tor-analysis of arabidopsis mutants tor/lst8/yak1/maktor-Analysis of Arabidopsis insertion and suppressor mutants linked to the TOR signaling pathway.-Comparison of in vitro grown plantlets for lst8, yak1 mutants and double mutants corresponding to suppressor lines. Comparison of in vitro grown plantlets for mutants affected in LST8 interacting proteins (MAKTOR) compared to wild type.
Project description:The goal of this experiment was to explore the molecular network of glucose-TOR signaling in Arabidopsis seedling autotrophic transition stage. We used the whole-genome microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression mediated by glucose and TOR.
