Project description:This dataset provides deep-profiling of the Arabidopsis transcriptome of mRNA of 7-day whole seedling on treatment with strigolactone (SL) isomer GR24-5DS. To understand the transcriptome response and genes regulated by SL, we used Columbia (Col0) ecotype. 7-day old seedlings are treated with 2.5uM GR24-5DS for 3hrs and samples are frozen immediately after treatment. 6 samples: 3 biological replicates Control untreated; 3 biological replicates treated with GR24-5DS.
Project description:4plex_physco_2014-05 - ppmax2 response to gr24 - How does the Ppmax2 moss mutant respond to Strigolactone (GR24)? - Two moss genotypes are used: WT and the Ppmax2 mutant. Moss tissues are fragmented, then plated on medium (Petri dish with cellophane disks) and cultivated for 3 weeks. Moss tissues are then transfered for 6 hours on acetone-containing medium (control treatment, for WT and Ppmax2) or GR24 (1 microM, in acetone)-containing medium (for Ppmax2). After 6 hours, the moss tissues are collected, quickly forzen in liquid nitrogen. RNA are isolated using the Quiagen RNeasy Plant mini kit (including a RNase-free DNase treatment on column). Two similar experiments (T1 and T2) have been led.
Project description:Purpose: The recent publication of the fungal mutualist R. irregularis genome facilitated transcriptomic studies. We here adress the gene regulation of R. irregularis in response to plant signals in the switch from asymbiotic to presymbiotic growth Methods: Spores of R. irregularis were treated with GR24 (strigolactone synthetic analog) and collected at 1 hour, 2 days, 7 days and 14 days after induction. To stimulate the fungus with root exudates, a cellophane membrane allowing molecule exchanges was deposited on in vitro Daucus carotta roots. Spores were spotted on this membrane and collected 14 days after. To monitor fungal gene regulation, control conditions were also prepared and mRNA were sequenced by HiSeq Illumina. Read were mapped on the genome assembly with CLCworkbench Results: At 1 hour, GR24 triggered the overexpression (fold change >2; FDR<0,05) of 123 genes and the repression (fold change < -2; FDR<0,05) of 17 genes. At 2 days, 33 genes were induced, 13 repressed ; at 7 days 106 genes were induced and 13 repressed and at 14 days 19 genes were induced and 10 repressed. Few genes overlap between the different time point. Root exudates induced 251 genes and repressed 63 genes. Few genes were regulated by both GR24 and root exudates. Conclusions: GR24 kinetic showed that fungal gene regulation is sequential, quick and involves hundreds of genes. Among those genes, a chitin synthase, involved either in fungal growth either in symbiotic signal production was strongly induced at 1hour, 7 days and 14 days. As few genes are regulated in response to root exudates and GR24, we propose that other plant signals play a role in ealy steps and trigger fungal gene regulation. Several genes coding for putative secreted peptides were induced in response to these plant signals. These genes might be effectors involved in early plant defense manipulation, then facilitating root entry. Thus, they are good candidates to investigate early steps of plant penetration.
Project description:GR24, a synthetic strigolactone, and KAR1, the main bioactive compound in smoke water, both share a common α,β unsaturated furanone moiety which promotes biomass accumulation in three week old N. benthamiana seedlings. In order to investigate whether this D ring is responsible for the biomass accumulation, gene expression profiles were evaluated for co-expression on the Agilent 44k N. tabacum microarray. GR24, smoke and KAR1 induced different transcripts, and suggests that they trigger independent growth responses. Control (untreated), GR24 (10-7M), smoke water (1:1000 dilution) and butenolide (10-7M) gene expression profiles were evaluated on three week old seedlings, in two independent experimental trials.

Project description:Strigolactones are plant metabolites that act as phytohormones and rhizosphere signals. Whereas most research on unraveling the action mechanisms of strigolactones is focused on plant shoots, we investigated proteome adaptation during strigolactone signaling in the roots of Arabidopsis thaliana. Through large-scale, time-resolved, and quantitative proteomics, the impact of the strigolactone analog rac-GR24 was elucidated on the root proteome of the wild type and the signaling mutant more axillary growth 2 (max2). Our study revealed a clear MAX2-dependent rac-GR24 response: an increase in abundance of enzymes involved in flavonol biosynthesis, which was reduced in the max2-1 mutant. Mass spectrometry-driven metabolite profiling and thin-layer chromatography experiments demonstrated that these changes in protein expression lead to the accumulation of specific flavonols. Moreover, quantitative RT-PCR revealed that the flavonol-related protein expression profile was caused by rac-GR24--induced changes in transcript levels of the corresponding genes. This induction of flavonol production was shown to be activated by the two pure enantiomers that together make up rac-GR24. Finally, our data provide much needed clues concerning the multiple roles played by MAX2 in the roots and a comprehensive view of the rac-GR24--induced response in the root proteome.

Project description:Purpose: we here adress the gene regulation of G.rosea in response to plant signals in the switch from asymbiotic to presymbiotic growth. Methods: -Strigolactone response: Spores of G.rosea were treated with GR24 (a synthetic strigolactone analog) and collected at 2 days after treatment. Control conditions: spores treated with solvent (M medium acetone 0.1%. Assay and control were performed in triplicates. -Root exsudate response: a cellophane membrane allowing molecule exchanges was deposited on in vitro Daucus carotta roots. Spores were spotted on this membrane and collected 10 days later. Control conditions: spores were spotted on cellophane membrane directly deposited on solid M medium. Assay and control were performed in triplicates. -Fungal gene expression were analyzed on mRNA were sequenced by Illumina HiSeq. sequencing Reads were firstly used in the de novo assembly of Gigaspora rosea Non Redundent Virtual Transcript and then mapped on the assembled transcriptome using CLC genomics workbench. Results: while GR24 triggered the regulation of only few genes which includes 32 genes upregulated (fold chang >2; FDR<0,05, experiment difference>10) and 61 downregulated (fold change < -2; FDR<0,05,experiment difference>10) genes, root exudates regulated several times more genes. A total of 390 genes were up-regulated by root exudates and 442 genes were down-regulated. Moreover, a majority of the genes (23 of 32 upregulated and 25 of 61 downregulated genes) regulated by GR24 were also regulated by root exudates. This is in consistant with the fact that strigolactones secreted from plant root are already characterized as a group of plant signals during AM symbiosis. The result that a large part of genes were differentialy expressed in reponse to root exudates but not GR24 suggested the presence of other plant signals than strigolactones. Conclusions: as a key player during the switch from asymbiotic to presymbiotic growth of G.rosea, plant root secreted signals - including but not limited to striglactones - significantly modified the expression of many G.rosea genes. The genes differentially expressed are mainly involved in oxidation-redution and metabolic processes that might contribute to prepare G.rosea for the following steps of symbiotic association with the host plant.
