Project description:sg1-sg3-Studying the transcriptional consequences of a QTL for shoot growth (SG3, SG1). Studying the transcriptional consequences of a QTL for shoot growth under mannitol condition (EGO3).
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:ra09-01_qtlleafgrowth - sg1-sg3 - 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 where we have mapped and cloned the concerned QTL and 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 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). 4 dye-swap - genotype comparison

Project description:Plants have evolved shoot elongation mechanisms to escape from diverse environmental stresses such as flooding and vegetative shade. The apparent similarity in growth responses suggests possible convergence of the signalling pathways. Shoot elongation is mediated by passive ethylene accumulating in flooded plant organs and by changes in light quality and quantity under vegetation shade. Here we study hypocotyl elongation as a proxy for shoot elongation and delineated Arabidopsis hypocotyl length kinetics in response to ethylene and shade. Based on these kinetics, we further investigated ethylene and shade-induced genome-wide gene expression changes in hypocotyls and cotyledons separately. Both treatments induced a more extensive transcriptome reconfiguration in the hypocotyls compared to the cotyledons. Bioinformatics analyses suggested contrasting regulation of growth promotion- and photosynthesis-related genes. These analyses also suggested an induction of auxin, brassinosteroid and gibberellin signatures and the involvement of several candidate regulators in the elongating hypocotyls. Pharmacological and mutant analyses confirmed the functional involvement of several of these candidate genes and physiological control points in regulating stress-escape responses to different environmental stimuli. We discuss how these signaling networks might be integrated and conclude that plants, when facing different stresses, utilise a conserved set of transcriptionally regulated genes to modulate and fine tune growth.
