Project description:Profiling of small RNAs identified a total of 359 and 357 conserved; and 490 and 155 novel miRNAs in C. chinense and C. frutescens, respectively. Based on the sequence similarity observed on alignment with already reported plant miRNAs, conserved and novel miRNAs were identified in both the species. The target prediction analysis reveals vital role of miRNAs in regulating genes involved in transcriptions, protein modification, signal transduction and metabolism. Several miRNAs were expressed in a tissue-specific/preferential manner indicating their involvement in tissue/organ development.
Project description:The MADS-domain transcription factor APETALA1 (AP1) is a key regulator of Arabidopsis flower development. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying AP1 function, we identified its target genes during floral initiation using a combination of gene expression profiling and genome-wide binding studies. Many of its targets encode transcriptional regulators, including known floral repressors. The latter genes are down-regulated by AP1, suggesting that it initiates floral development by abrogating the inhibitory effects of these genes. While AP1 acts predominantly as a transcriptional repressor during the earliest stages of flower development, regulatory genes known to be required for floral organ formation were found to be activated by AP1 at more advanced stages, indicating a dynamic mode of action. Our results further imply that AP1 orchestrates floral initiation by integrating growth, patterning and hormonal pathways.
Project description:Characterization of the activities of the transcription factor that AG encodes throughout flower development using perturbation assays and ChIP-Seq in combination with a floral induction system (FIS) that allows a stage-specific analysis of flower development. Examination of genomic regions bound by fully functional AG-GFP protein at approx floral stage 4-5 as compared to a negative control sample.

Our results further imply that AP1 orchestrates floral initiation by integrating growth, patterning and hormonal pathways. We used the AP1-GR system to conduct chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments with AP1-specific antibodies followed by deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) in order to determine AP1 binding sites on a genome-wide scale. Samples were generated from tissue in which the AP1-GR protein was induced for 2h using a single treatment of 1 uM DEX to the shoot apex. As control, we performed ChIP experiments using the same antibody on uninduced tissue. Experiments were done in two biological replicates.
