Project description:We have investigated the genomic response of Arabidopsis cell suspension culture under high light. Our main goal has been twofold: first, to establish whether chloroplasts in Arabidopsis cell suspension culture are functional and, as such, can act as sensors of adverse external stimuli leading to the activation of genomic defence responses in a manner similar to that described in whole plants exposed to a wide range of environmental stresses and; second, to distinguish which of the ROS that would be probably generated in the chloroplasts is predominant. Our functional genomic analysis has led us to conclude that singlet oxygen is the major ROS in Arabidopsis cell suspension culture under high light stress and that singlet oxygen production is responsible for a genomic activation associated with the biosynthesis and signalling pathway of several phytohormones that ultimately triggers accelerated cell death.
Project description:Cell suspension culture of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia) was treated by 250 uM salicylic acid and by two different concentrations of wortmannin (1 uM and 30 uM) for 4 hours. Keywords: dose response,treated vs untreated comparison
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE10719: Response of Arabidopsis cell culture to phytoprostane A1; GSE10732: Identification of TGA-regulated genes in response to phytoprostane A1 and OPDA Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:ChIP-seq experiments using an anti-RBR1 antibody were performed on MM2d cell culture material from Arabidopsis thaliana (3d after sub-culture).
Project description:Genome-wide target genes of PPD2 were identified through ChIP-seq on Arabidopsis cell cultures. For ChIP-seq, PPD2 was fused to the GSyellow TAP tag and expressed from the 35S promoter. The p35S:PPD2-GSyellow construct was transformed into Arabidopsis thaliana PSB-D cell culture. ChIP was performed using anti-GFP antibody (abcam290).
