Project description:The oxt6 mutant is an oxidative stress-tolerant Arabidopsis mutant that is deficient in a polyadenylation factor subunit. Expression analysis suggests that impaired poly(A) site choice is responsible for the stress-tolerant phenotype. We used microarrays to understand the link between the polyadenylation defect and stress tolerance. Keywords: mutant, wild-type, complemented line comparison
Project description:The oxt6 mutant is an oxidative stress-tolerant Arabidopsis mutant that is deficient in a polyadenylation factor subunit. Expression analysis suggests that impaired poly(A) site choice is responsible for the stress-tolerant phenotype. We used microarrays to understand the link between the polyadenylation defect and stress tolerance. Experiment Overall Design: Arabidopsis plants (the wild-type, oxt6 mutant, and two independent oxt6 transformants each carrying a gene encoding just the smaller of the two At1g30460-encoded proteins) were seeded and grown in soil. Plants were harvested for RNA isolation after 30 days; for this, six samples derived from 10-15 plants were prepared for each line. Ten samples were selected for study â three wild-type, three oxt6, and two from each of the complemented lines. Analysis of independent complemented plants minimizes the possible effects that may arise due to T-DNA insertion.
Project description:Use 3ʹ region extraction and deep sequencing (3'READS) and bioinformatics techniques to profile alternative polyadenylation and gene regulation in plant Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to light and darkness
Project description:We performed transcriptome and ribosome immunoprecipitation studies of transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Columbia seeds expressing a His6FLAG-tagged version of the ribosomal large subunit protein L18B (35S:HF-RPL18B)
Project description:CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) constitute first line of defence against oxidative stress. In the present study, PaSOD and RaAPX genes from Potentilla atrosanguinea and Rheum australe, respectively were overexpressed individually as well as in combination in Arabidopsis thaliana. We performed RNA-seq analysis of wild type and transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana overexpressing CuZn-SOD, APX and CuZn-SOD + APX under control and salt stress
