Project description:We have sequenced messenger RNA isolated from seedling tissue for 19 accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana (with biological replication). The 19 accessions for which RNA-Seq reads were collected have served as the founders for the MAGIC lines, a high-resolution recombinant inbred line mapping resource. RNA sequencing data was used to examine differential gene expression among the accessions.

Project description:Expression level polymorphisms (ELPs) often result in cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL), which are important QTL and association mapping tools and account significantly for phenotypic variability. Generally, it is assumed that such stably heritable ELP represent regulatory element polymorphisms in the respective genes. However, comprehensive genome-wide analyses linking expression level, regulatory sequence and gene structure variation are missing, preventing definite verification of this assumption. Here we analyzed heritability of ELP observed between Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Eil-0 and Lc-0 by comparing genotyped recombinant inbred lines (RIL) to their parents in microarray analyses. Keywords: expression level polymorphism, Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, recombinant inbred lines

Keywords: expression level polymorphism, Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, recombinant inbred lines In order to analyze expression level polymorphisms between the accessions Eil-0 and Lc-0, three independently grown seedling pools were analyzed by two color co-hybridization of the labeled cDNAs in dyeswap experiments, giving a total of six slides. For the analysis of gene expression in seedlings of 7 different RILs, each RIL sample was co-hybridized with each parent (Eil-0 and Lc-0) in a dyeswap, resulting in two slides per parent vs. RIL comparison. The total number of slides in this study was 34.
Project description:To assess plasticity in genetic regulation of gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana, genome wide gene expression variation was analyzed in a Ler/Cvi recombinant inbred line (RIL) population treated with low-light. The variation in expression could be explained for many genes by expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), which were compared to a previous genetical genomics study in the same untreated population. Please note Characteristics[StrainOrLine] is the population of 162 recombinant inbred lines between the accessions Ler x Cvi. Ler and Cvi are the names of the parental accessions.
Project description:We produced RNA-Seq reads from messenger RNA isolated from root tissue for the 19 MAGIC founder accessions (inbred strains) of Arabidopsis thaliana (see Gan et al. 2011. Nature 477:419-23 for a description of the MAGIC genetic mapping resource). The read data was generated with biological replication (two replicates). The resulting RNA-Seq data provide a resource to assess root gene expression across different accessions of A. thaliana. Comparable RNA-Seq read data for the MAGIC founder accessions for aerial seedling tissue has previously been released under GEO series GSE30720 (Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23). Examination of RNA expression in root for the 19 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions used as parents for the MAGIC lines (parental accessions are Bur-0, Can-0, Col-0, Ct-1, Edi-0, Hi-0, Kn-0, Ler-0, Mt-0, No-0, Oy-0, Po-0, Rsch-4, Sf-2, Tsu-0, Wil-2, Ws-0, Wu-0, Zu-0).

Project description:The aim of this study was to generate a high-density genetic linkage map of Arabidopsis. A custom-designed exon-specific whole-genome array was used to identify ~16,000 significant SFP markers between the parental accessions Col and Ler. Subsequently 100 Col/Ler recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were hybridized to the whole genome exon arrays and the SFP-markers genotyped in all lines.
Project description:We produced RNA-Seq reads from messenger RNA isolated from seedling, root, and floral bud tissue for 17 MAGIC founder accessions (inbred strains) of Arabidopsis thaliana (see Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23 for a description of the MAGIC genetic mapping resource). The resulting RNA-Seq data provide a resource to assess tissue-specific expression across different accessions of A. thaliana. Note that comparable read data for accessions Col-0 and Can-0, which are also founders of the MAGIC lines, has previously been released under GEO series GSE30795 (Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23).
Project description:The study of natural genetic variation for plant disease resistance responses is a complementary approach to utilizing mutants to elucidate genetic pathways. While some key genes involved in pathways controlling disease resistance, and signaling intermediates such as salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA), have been identified through mutational analyses, the use of genetic variation in natural populations permits the identification of change-of-function alleles, which likely act in a quantitative manner. Whole genome microarrays, such as Affymetrix GeneChips, allow for molecular characterization of the disease response at a genomics level and characterization of differences in gene expression due to natural variation. Differences in the level of gene expression, or expression level polymorphisms (ELPs), can be mapped in a segregating population to identify regulatory quantitative trait loci (expression QTLs, eQTLs) affecting host resistance responses. We surveyed recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a population derived from a cross of inbred Arabidopsis accessions Bayreuth-0 (Bay-0) and Shahdara (Sha) in order to map eQTLs controlling ELPs. We treated vegetatively grown plants with either SA or a control solution (Silwet), and harvested the plants 28 hours after chemical treatment. Here we present Affymetrix GeneChip microarray expression data for 8 biological replications of the control (Silwet) samples for Bay-0 and Sha.
