Project description:To identify putative regulatory elements enriched in the promoters of target genes of the PGE-dependent retrograde signaling pathway, we analyzed 500 bp regions of sequence upstream of genes whose expression was down-regulated by lincomycin. We treated dark-grown Arabidopsis seedlings with lincomycin, sampled them before or after a short illumination and examined the genomic response using Affymetrix ATH1 oligonucleotide microarrays. Differentially regulated genes were ranked based on descending degree of significance (p-value) and the top 50 genes affected by lincomycin in dark grown seedlings and top 50 genes affected by the antibiotic after illumination were selected for further analysis. Experiment Overall Design: 2*2 factorial design, two variables are (1) with/without lincomycin treatment (2) with/without red illumination. There are 2 replicates for each condition.

Project description:To identify and characterize genes required for tissue-specific phytochrome responses during hypocotyl development in far-red-light grown bvr lines, we performed gene transcriptional profiling using bvr lines with mesophyll-specific phytochrome inactivation (cab3: :pBVR2). We identified several candidate genes whose expression is significantly altered in lines with mesophyll tissue-specific BVR expression (Cab3::pBVR2), compared to constitutive phytochrome inactivation lines, i.e. 35S-driven BVR lines (35S::pBVR3). No-0 is used as wild-type (WT) Seeds of No-0 WT, 35S::pBVR3 and CAB3::pBVR2 on MS plates were exposed to Red (R) light of 75 M-BM-5mol m-2 s-1 for 5 min and imbibing seeds were cold-stratified at 4 M-BM-0C in darkness for 3 d. Seedlings were grown under continuous far-red illumination for 7 d. Seven-day-old vegetative whole seedlings (300 M-bM-^@M-^S 500 mg) were quickly (<1 min) harvested and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen inside the FR chamber. Seedlings were grown under continuous far-red illumination for 7 d.
