Project description:The objective of the study was to understand the mechanism of the interaction between Arabidopsis thaliana and SA190 under drought stress.
Project description:Drought stress imposes severe challenges on agriculture by impacting crop performance. Understanding drought responses in plants at a cellular level is a crucial first step towards engineering improved drought resilience. However, the molecular responses to drought are complex as they depend on multiple factors including the severity of drought, the profiled organ, its developmental stage or even the cell types therein. Thus, deciphering the transcriptional responses to drought is specially challenging. In this study, we investigated tissue-specific responses to mild drought in young Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) leaves using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). To preserve transcriptional integrity during cell isolation, we inhibited RNA synthesis using the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D, demonstrating the benefits of transcriptome fixation for studying mild stress responses at single-cell level. We present a curated and validated single-cell atlas comprising 50,797 high-quality cells from almost all known cell types present in the leaf. All cell types were validated with a new library of reporter lines.

As such, deciphering the transcriptional responses to drought is specifically challenging.In the study associated with this data submission, we investigated tissue-specific responses to mild drought in young Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) leaves using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq, deposited under another id, GSE273033). To preserve transcriptional integrity during cell isolation, we fixed the RNA prior to cell isolation using the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D, demonstrating the benefits of fixation for studying mild stress responses at single-cell level. The transcriptome data deposited here corresponds to the bulk RNA-sequencing experiments described in this study. The samples presented here are undigested leaves, leaves digested by cell wall degradation without fixation, and leaves digested by cell wall degradation with RNA fixation. All sample types were collected from plants growing under well-watered and mild drought conditions.

Project description:• Among many mRNA modifications, adenine methylation at the N6 position (N6-methyladenosine, m6A) is known to affect mRNA biology extensively. The influence of m6A has yet to be assessed under drought, one of the most impactful abiotic stresses. • We show that Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. (Arabidopsis) plants lacking mRNA ADENOSINE METHYLASE (MTA) are drought sensitive. Subsequently, we comprehensively assess the impacts of MTA-dependent m6A changes during drought on mRNA abundance, stability, and translation in Arabidopsis. • During drought, there is a global trend towards hyper-methylation of many protein-coding transcripts that does not occur in mta. We also observe complex regulation of m6A at a transcript-specific level, possibly reflecting compensation by other m6A components. Importantly, a subset of transcripts that are hyper-methylated in an MTA-dependent manner exhibited reduced turnover and translation in mta, compared to wild-type plants, during drought. Additionally, MTA impacts transcript stability and translation independently of m6A. We also correlate drought-associated deposition of m6A with increased translation of modulators of drought response, such as RD29A, COR47, COR413, ALDH2B, ERD7, and ABF4 in WT, which is impaired in mta. • m6A is dynamic during drought and, alongside MTA, promotes tolerance by regulating drought-responsive changes in transcript turnover and translation.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis on young developing leaves of 6 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions (An1, Blh1, Col0, Cvi0, Oy0, Sha) subjected to control and mild drought conditions.
Project description:The leaf transcriptome of the Arabidopsis thaliana aquaporin gene PIP1;2 T-DNA insertion line was compared to that of control plants. In total 730 genes were found to be differentially regulated. This regulation pattern was compared to mild drought stress and low CO2 Affymetrix data to elucidate whether loss of the aquaporin resembles transcriptomic changes of drought stress or lack of CO2 supply. Mild drought stress data were obtained from Harb A, Krishnan A, Ambavaram MMR, Pereira A (2010) Molecular and Physiological Analysis of Drought Stress in Arabidopsis Reveals Early Responses Leading to Acclimation in Plant Growth. Plant Physiology 154: 1254-1271 (GSE24177). Low CO2 data were obtained from Oliver E. Bläsing, Yves Gibon, Manuela Günther, Melanie Höhne, Rosa Morcuende, Daniel Osuna, Oliver Thimm, Björn Usadel, Wolf-Rüdiger Scheible, and Mark Stitt (2005) Sugars and Circadian Regulation Make Major Contributions to the Global Regulation of Diurnal Gene Expression in Arabidopsis. The Plant Cell, Vol. 17, 3257-3281 (GSE3423).
