Project description:To understand the role of Arabidopsis histone deacetylase HDA6 in drought tolerance, we have employed transcriptional profiling of the hda6 mutant and its parental line under drought and control conditions to identify genes differentially expressed in the hda6 mutant under drought and control conditions. Aligent's Whole Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray (Agilent-015059, G2519F, V3, 4x44K) was used. Arabidopsis hda6 mutant axe1-5 and its parental line DR5 were grown in soil for 3 weeks (16 hours light / 8 hours dark). For drought-treated sample, the plants were subjected to drought by withhelding water supply for indicated days. Then total RNA was prepared from the above-ground tissue and used for the microarray hybridization. Three replicative hybridization experiments for each array were carried out using the independent biological samples.
Project description:To understand the role of Arabidopsis histone deacetylase HDA6 in plant cold acclimation, we have employed transcriptional profiling of the hda6 mutant and its parental line under cold and control conditions to identify genes differentially expressed in the hda6 mutant under cold and control conditions. Aligent’s Whole Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray (G2519F, V4, 4x44K) were used. Arabidopsis hda6 mutant axe1-5 and its parental line DR5 were grown in MS agar plates for 2 weeks (16 hours light / 8 hours dark). For cold treated sample, the plants were subjected for cold treatment at 2?C for 3 days (12 hours light / 12 hours dark). Then total RNA was prepared and used for the microarray hybridization. Three replicative hybridization experiments for each array were carried out using the independent biological samples.
Project description:We applied the tiling arrays to study the Arabidopsis whole-genome transcriptome in Arabidopsis axe1-5 and met1-3 mutants. Fifteen-day-old Arabidopsis plants grown on the agar plates were harvested. The total RNA was prepared from 15-day-old Arabidopsis plants (axe1-5 (hda6 mutant), DR5 (parental line of axe1-5), met1-3 and Col) and used for the microarray hybridization. Three replicative hybridization experiments for each strand array were carried out using the independent biological RNA samples.

Project description:A mutant screen was conducted in Arabidopsis that was based on deregulated expression of auxin-responsive transgenes. Two different tightly regulated (i.e., very low expression in the absence of auxin treatment and very high expression after exogenous auxin treatment) auxin-responsive promoters were used to drive the expression of both a ?-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene and a hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPH)?selectable marker gene. This screen yielded several mutants, and five of the mutations (axe1-1 to axe1-5) mapped to the same locus on chromosome 5. A map-based cloning approach was used to locate the axe1 mutations in an Arabidopsis RPD3-like histone deacetylase gene, referred to as HDA6. The axe1 mutant plants displayed increased expression of the GUS and HPH transgenes in the absence of auxin treatment and increased auxin-inducible expression of the transgenes compared with nonmutant control plants. None of a variety of endogenous, natural auxin-inducible genes in the mutant plants were upregulated like the transgenes, however. Results of treatment with the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine suggest that the axe1 mutations affect transgene silencing; however, histone deacetylase inhibitors had no affect on transgene silencing in mutant or control plants. The specific effect of AtHDA6 mutations on the auxin-responsive transgenes implicates this RPD3-like histone deacetylase as playing a role in transgene silencing. Furthermore, the effect of AtHDA6 on transgene silencing may be independent of its histone deacetylase activity. *
