Project description:ra09-01_qtlleafgrowth - ego3 - What are the transcriptional consequences of the allelic contrast at SG3, SG1 and EGO3 loci mapped for its effect on shoot growth and identified at the gene level - Plants were grown in the in vitro conditions with 60 mM mannitol, where we have mapped and cloned the concerned QTL which allows us to see the phenotype linked to the segregation of the natural alleles. We are comparing 2 genotypes descending from a RIL from the Cvi x Col (H1 is Col allele containing HIF, and A2 is Cvi allele containing HIF).

We are comparing 2 genotypes descending from a RIL from the Bur x Col RIL set, homozygous and identical everywhere in the genome except for the 23.4 kb at SG1 loci where one genotype is Bur (97.4 and 175.4) and the other is Col (97.1 and 175.1).

Project description:ra11-04_qtl - study of the transcriptional consequences of a growth qtl candidate (sg1) - We want to compare the transcriptome of Sg1 insertion mutant to a WT background to understand if this candidate has a role in gene expression regulation at the genome-wide level. - We are analysing a QTL named Sg1 quantitatively affecting the shoot growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Sg1 mutation exhibits a large set of phenotypic consequences (growth, fitness,…), and the penetrance of these defects increase over generations. The CATMA collaboration aims to perform a T-DNA mutant vs WT analysis, with the WT control being derived from the heterozygous T-DNA parent. A first homozygous generation hypotheticaly derived from the heterozygous T-DNA parent and a 4th homozygous generation showing more severe phenotypes are being compared to the WT (dye swap, biological repetitions). Whole plants were harvested 10 DAG at 11am for each genotype.

Project description:The bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 system has been widely adapted for RNA-guided genome editing and gene regulation in diverse organisms yet its in vivo target specificity is poorly understood. Here we provide the first genome-wide binding maps of nuclease-deactivated Cas9 loaded with guide RNAs in mammalian cells. We find a 5-nucleotide seed region in the guide RNA targets Cas9 to thousands of sites in the genome. Chromatin accessibility limits binding to the other hundreds of thousands sites with matching seed sequences, and consequently 70% of off-target binding sites are associated with genes. U-rich seeds have low numbers of off-target sites limited by both low guide RNA abundance and scarcity of complimentary sites in accessible chromatin. Unexpectedly, off-target sites show little evidence of cleavage, supporting a two-state model reminiscent of eukaryotic RNAi machinery where a short seed match triggers binding but extensive pairing is required for cleavage. ChIP-seq of HA-dCas9 loaded with 4 sgRNAs (Phc1-sg1, Phc1-sg2, Nanog-sg2, and Nanog-sg3) in mouse, and 2 sgRNAs in human (EMX1-sg1 and EMX1-sg3)
Project description:Drought is one of the most detrimental environmental stresses to which plants are exposed. Especially mild drought is relevant to agriculture and significantly affects plant growth and development. In plant research, mannitol is often used to mimic drought stress and study the resulting responses. In growing leaf tissue of plants exposed to mannitol-induced stress, a highly-interconnected gene regulatory network is induced. However, early signaling and associated protein phosphorylation events that likely precede part of these transcriptional changes are largely unknown. Here, we performed a full proteome and phosphoproteome analysis on growing leaf tissue of Arabidopsis plants exposed to mild mannitol-induced stress and captured the fast (within the first half hour) events associated with this stress. Based on this in-depth data analysis, 167 and 172 differentially abundant and unique proteins and phosphorylated sites were found back, respectively. Finally, we identified H(+)-ATPASE 2 (AHA2) and CYSTEINE-RICH REPEAT SECRETORY PROTEIN 38 (CRRSP38) as novel regulators of shoot growth under osmotic stress.
