Project description:This study was aimed to determine roles of individual myosins in organelle trafficking in plant cell. Expression of Myosin XI-K was suppressed in transgenic A.thaliana by using RNAi approach. To ensure that the RNAi-induced gene silencing was specific and did not affect expression of other myosins, a microarray analysis was performed. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was purified from A.thaliana plants transformed with an inverted repeat construct harbouring a sequence derived from Myosin XI-K ORF. 3 independent groups of plants were used for comparison of the expression profiles of 17 myosin RNAs to a control group comprised of plants constitutively expressing GUS ORF as a transgene.

Project description:GSH, being a versatile molecule, is actively involved in various bilogical processe of plant system. Our previous studies identifies an active role of GSH in plant defense signaling network. Here, we used microarray under GSH treated condition to obtain a global expression profiling under this altered GSH conditions. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. A.thaliana, much accalimed model system of plant biology and being fully sequenced, we used this system to explore the specific relation of GSH with metabolic processes, phisiological conditions, etc.
Project description:This project aims at identifying the binding partners of the Arabidopsis thaliana MRF7 protein and of its truncated form ΔMRF7, which lacks a potential protein binding domain DUF593 at the N-terminus. A.thaliana plants stably overexpressing GFP-MRF7 and GFP-ΔMRF7 were generated by floral dipping of Col-0 plants. Co-immunoprecipitation was carried out using the GFP-Trap®_A beads technology (Chromotek) and samples thus obtained were analysed through Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
