Project description:Lateral roots (LRs) are formed post-embryonically and contribute to root architecture formation in vascular plants. LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES-DOMAIN 16 (LBD16) is a key transcription factor to initiate LR formation functioning redundantly with related LBD members. To identify primary downstream targets of LBD16, we engineered a transgenic line with inducible LBD16 activity by expressing a fusion protein of LBD16 and rat glucocorticoid receptor (GR) under the regulation of its own regulatory region (gLBD16-GR) in the lbd16-1 lbd18-1 lbd33-1 mutant. Here we identified primary response genes of LBD16 from transcriptome analysis.
Project description:The goal of this project is to compare the primary metabolite profile in different tissue types of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Specifically, plants were grown hydroponically under the long-day (16hr light/day) condition at 21C. Tissue samples, including leaves, inflorescences, and roots were harvest 4 1/2 weeks post sowing. Untargeted primary metabolites profiling was carried out using GCTOF.
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana AF7/ARF19 double knockout with ARF7 reintroduced under its own promotor with a glucocorticoid receptor added were treated with Auxin, Dexamethazone and cycloheximide to determine primary and secondary ARF7 auxin sensitive downstream targets
Project description:To optimize access to nitrogen under limiting conditions, root systems must continuously sense and respond to local or temporal fluctuations in nitrogen availability. In Arabidopsis thaliana and several other species, external N levels that induce only mild deficiency stimulate the emergence of lateral roots and especially the elongation of primary and lateral roots. However, the identity of the genes involved in this coordination remains still largely elusive. In order to identify novel genes and mechanisms underlying nitrogen-dependent root morphological changes, we investigated time-dependent changes in the root transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown under sufficient nitrogen or under conditions that induced mild nitrogen deficiency.
Project description:The goal of the experiments is to identify differential genes between the roots of Arabidopsis thaliana and roots treated for 3 h with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). ACC blocks the maximal cell elongation of the root cells. - Arabidopsis plants are grown for 5 days on MS medium and then we transfer them to a medium supplemented with ACC (5uM) or without ACC. After 3 h of growth, we isolate the RNA of the roots. Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison
Project description:Here we use bisulfite conversion of rRNA depleted RNA combined with high-throughput Illumina sequencing (RBS-seq) to identify single-nucleotide resolution of m5C sites transcriptome-wide in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. m5C sites were analyzed in wild type (WT) and an Arabidopsis T-DNA KO mutant for the RNA methyltransferase TRM4B.
Project description:This study evaluates the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana roots exposed to the MAMP flg22 in the presence of a 35-member bacterial SynCom
