Project description:In order to identify differentially expressed genes in developing seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana three different stages of seed development were analysed (9-10, 10-11 and 12-13 days after flower opening) for two Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, Col-0 and C24. For each stage and accession three biological replicates were analysed.
Project description:ARABIDOPSIS SKP1-LIKE1 (ASK1) protein is involved in regulating flower development. We have compared ask1 mutant floral transcriptome with wild-type Ler to identify the role of ASK1-containing E3 ubiquitin ligases in regulating flower transcriptome. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from Arabidopsis thaliana Ler and ask1 mutant flower buds. We identified 42 genes and 74 genes that are down-regulated and up-regulated, respectively.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana mutant sr45-1 has an altered flower shape. sr45 is a splicing regulator. In this study, we examined the proteins from inflorescence of sr45-1 mutant plants and wild-type. Wild type TMT labels: 126, 128, 130. sr45-1 TMT labels: 127, 129, 131.

The average values were compared between ask1 and Ler.
Project description:TCP transcription factors from the CYC2-class are involved in the development of monosymmetric flowers in all core eudicot species analysed so far. In Antirrhinum majus, the CYC2/TCP transcription factor CYCLOIDEA (CYC) is the molecular key regulator driving the development of flower monosymmetry (Luo D, Carpenter R, Vincent C, Copsey L, Coen E: Origin of floral asymmetry in Antirrhinum. Nature 1996, 383:794-799). In the Brassicaceae Iberis amara, a stronger expression of the CYC2 gene IaTCP1 in the small adaxial petals likely leads to the reduced petal size in comparison to large abaxial petals, with hardly any IaTCP1 expression. This results in the formation of the monosymmetric Iberis flower (Busch A, Zachgo S: Control of corolla monosymmetry in the Brassicaceae Iberis amara. PNAS 2007, 104:16714-16719). In contrast, the orthologous TCP/CYC2 transcription factor TCP1 from Arabidopsis thaliana, which forms equally sized and shaped petal pairs, only shows an early and transient expression in the adaxial area of floral primordia. This implies that monosymmetry in the Brassicaceae evolved through a heterochronic expression shift of the TCP/CYC2 key regulator gene IaTCP1. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing IaTCP1 and TCP1 develop smaller petals whereas transgenic plants overexpressing CYC from Antirrhinum majus produce larger flowers. In any case, petal size is affected. To compare the effects of the three CYC2 TCP transcription factors on downstream (regulatory) networks in Arabidopsis thaliana, a microarray analysis was conducted.
Project description:To explore the overall long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) involved in growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana across the lifespan, we deeply sequenced samples of whole plants from different developmental stages (4 rosette leaves>1mm, 14 rosette leaves>1mm, rosette growth complete, first flower buds visible, flourishing florescence, first silique shattered, senescence) using strand-specific RNA sequencing (ssRNA-seq) menthod. We obtained 28.8 Gb raw data and identified 156 novel lncRNAs (unreported in all public plant lncRNA databases) . We also categorized the novel lncRNAs as intergenic, intronic, antisense, overlapped with perhaps pseudogenes and mRNA based on their location on the Arabidopsis genome. Furthermore, lncRNAs targeted protein-coding genes were predicted and functional annotated. In addition, we constructed a network of interactions between ncRNAs (miRNAs, lncRNA) and mRNAs. Our results suggest that the identified novel lncRNAs are important in modulating development process of Arabidopsis, and provide a rich resource for further research on the function of these novel lncRNAs.
Project description:To explore the overall circRNAs involved in growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana across the lifespan, we deeply sequenced samples of whole plants from different developmental stages (cotyledons emergence, rosette leavesï¹¥1 mm, rosette growth complete, first flower open, flourishing florescence, first silique shattered, senescence). The total RNA was purified by rRNA-depletion and linear RNA removal with RNAseR, and sequenced by the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform. We obtained 31 Gb raw data and identified 1217 circRNAs with expression quantity. We annotated these circRNAs and predicted their targeted microRNA. The circRNAs involved in growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana across lifespan were identified and analyzed using the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform.
