Project description:AtERF#111/ABR1 belongs to the group X of the ERF/AP2 transcription factor family (GXERFs) and is shoot specifically induced under submergence and hypoxia. It was described to be an ABA-response repressor, but our data hint at a completely different function. Here we present evidence that AtERF#111 is involved in the wounding response. Expression profiling of ERF#111-overexpressing (OE) plants demonstrates that AtERF#111 is a transcriptional activator of wounding response genes. Furthermore, direct target genes of AtERF#111 were identified by microarray analyses. However, knockout mutants of AtERF#111 only show a slightly reduced wounding response, suggesting the involvement of other GXERFs in wound signaling and repair mechanisms.
Project description:To understand the dynamics and global gene reprogramming in the early response to mechanical wounding in rice, the transcriptional response to mechanical injury was analyzed. A time-course experiment revealed the highly dynamic nature of the wound response in rice. Mechanical wounding triggered extensive gene expression reprogramming in the locally wounded leaf, affecting various physiological processes, including defense mechanisms and potentially tissue repair and regeneration. The rice response to mechanical wounding displayed both differences and similarities compared to the response to jasmonate treatment. These results highlight the importance of early JA signaling in response to mechanical stress in rice. This analysis provides an overview of the global transcriptional response to mechanical stress in rice, offering valuable insights for future studies on rice's response to injury, insect attack, and abiotic stresses.
Project description:We have used trypsin-mediated wounding to amplify the transcriptional response to clean puncture wounding. We studied the transcriptional response of clean puncture wounding and trypsin puncture wounding in relation to unwounded wild-type late-stage embryos. Trypsin puncture wounding generally increases the puncture wounding fold induction relative to unwounded controls.
Project description:Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) reside in murine skin and participate in homeostasis and wound repair. Upon wounding, DETC become activated through the recognition of an unidentified ligand expressed by keratinocytes proximal to sites of injury. Such DETC activation is mediated through a monoclonal T cell receptor (TCR). Using a soluble form of this monoclonal TCR, we have shown that keratinocytes upregulate DETC TCR ligands in wounded tissue within 2 hours following wounding. Down-modulation of the ligand is seen 3 hours following wounding, and no expression is evident in non-wounded skin. In vitro studies on cell lines which express this unknown ligand indicate that antigen recognition by the DETC TCR is dependent upon N-linked glycosylation of the ligand. Given the glycosylation sensitivity of the ligand and the restricted expression following wounding, we are interested in pursuing microarray analysis to identify genes that are modulated in keratinocytes in response to wounding.
Project description:ra16-01_mkk3_wounding - identification of mkk3-dependent wounding-induced genes - Is MKK3 involved in the transcriptional regulation of wounding-induced genes? - Col and mkk3 KO plants were wounded with a forceps. Leaves were harvested 2h after the stress.
