Project description:To identify key genes in the regulation of salt tolerance in the mangrove plant Bruguiera gymnorhiza, the transcriptome profiling under salt stress was carried out. Main roots and lateral roots were collected from the mangrove plants at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h, 3 6 and 12 days after NaCl-treatment. Keywords: time course, stress response, root type comparison
Project description:Chloroplast biogenesis represents a crucial step in seedling development, and is essential for the transition to autotrophic growth in plants. This light-controlled process relies on the transcription of nuclear and plastid genomes that drives the effective assembly and regulation of the photosynthetic machinery. Here we reveal a novel regulation level for this process by showing the involvement of chromatin remodelling in the coordination of nuclear and plastid gene expression for proper chloroplast biogenesis and function. The two Arabidopsis homologs of the yeast EPL1 proteins, core components of the NuA4 histone acetyl-transferase complex, are essential for the correct assembly and performance of chloroplasts. EPL1 proteins are necessary for the coordinated expression of nuclear genes encoding most of the components of chloroplast transcriptional machinery, specifically promoting H4K5Ac deposition in these loci. These data unveil a key participation of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in the coordinated expression of the nuclear and plastid genomes.

Project description:Study of the role of the FLV/DOT4 protein in post-transcriptional regulation of chloroplast gene expression. DOT4 is a pentatricopeptide repeat protein targeted to the chloroplast which regulates the editing of the rpoC1 transcript The editing level of rpoC1 varies from one tissue to the other and because the main macroscopic phenotype of the flv/dot4 mutant are white leaf margins. We compared the leaf border to the leaf center of wild-type Col0 plants but also the leaf borders of col0 and flv/dot4 knock out mutants by sequencing total RNA depleted from rRNA to get a global view of gene expression (including post-transcrional modifications) of the 3 plant genomes: nucleus, chloroplast and mitochondria. mRNA seq on wild-type Col and FLV mutants knock out.
Project description:To identify key genes in the regulation of salt tolerance in the mangrove plant Bruguiera gymnorhiza, the transcriptome profiling under salt stress was carried out. Main roots and lateral roots were collected from the mangrove plants at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h, 3 6 and 12 days after NaCl-treatment. Samples were collected from each set of three trees at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h, 3 6 and 12 days after NaCl-treatment, that is 27 trees were used in total. RNA was extracted from mixture of the samples from 3 trees to average genotypes of 3 trees.
Project description:In the present study, we discover the presence of m2A in chloroplast rRNA and tRNA, as well as cytosolic tRNA, in multiple plant species. We identify six m2A-modified chloroplast tRNAs and two m2A-modified cytosolic tRNAs across different plants. Furthermore, we characterize three Arabidopsis m2A methyltransferases—RLMNL1, RLMNL2, and RLMNL3—which methylate chloroplast rRNA, chloroplast tRNA, and cytosolic tRNA, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that m2A37 promotes a relaxed conformation of tRNA, enhancing translation efficiency in chloroplast and cytosol by facilitating decoding of tandem m2A-tRNA-dependent codons. This study provides insights into the molecular function and biological significance of m2A, uncovering a layer of translation regulation in plants.
