Project description:The Arabidopsis SCARECROW-LIKE28 transcription factor promotes progression through G2/M, modulates division plane orientation and promotes post-mitotic cell expansion. To define the networks regulated by SCL28, we performed transcriptome profiling of wild-type and scl28-3 root tips.
Project description:Arabidopsis Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips were used to compare the mRNA profiles of root tissues of the transgenic plants overexpressing 4D09 effector gene from the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and the wild-type (C24). Also, Arabidopsis Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips were used to compare the mRNA profiles of root tissues of the transgenic plants overexpressing 14-3-3Ɛ gene from Arabidopsis and the wild-type (Col-0). Wild-type (Arabidopsis thaliana, ecotypes C24 and Col-0 ), and the transgenic plants overexpressing 4D09 effector gene or overexpressing 14-3-3Ɛ gene from Arabidopsis were grown in vertical culture dishes on modified Knop’s medium for 2 weeks and then root tissues were collected for RNA extraction. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Tarek Hewezi.

Project description:This experiment was set up in order to identify the (direct) transcriptional targets of the Ethylene Response Factor 115 (ERF115) transcription factor. Because ERF115 expression occurs in quiescent center (QC) cells and strong effects on the QC cells were observed in ERF115 overexpression plants, root tips were harvested for transcript profiling in order to focus on root meristem and QC specific transcriptional targets. Wild-type (Col-0 ecotype), erf115 mutant (SALK_021981) and ERF115 overexpressing (p35S:ERF115 ORF) root tips (three replicates each) were harvested and subjected to transcript profiling, using the Col-0 samples as control reference.
Project description:The RETINOBLASTOMA–RELATED (RBR) is a key regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation in plants, and plays an important role in maintenance of the stem cell niche in the root. We used microarray analysis to characterize the transcriptional response of Arabidopsis thaliana root tips from rRBr mutant (7 samples) against Col-0 wild type (6 samples) after 4, 6 and 10 das.

Project description:Arabidopsis Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips were used to compare the mRNA profiles of root tissues of the grf1/grf2/grf3 triple mutant and transgenic plants overexpressing miR396-resistant variants of GRF1 (P35S:rGRF1) or GRF3 (P35S:rGRF3) with those of the corresponding wild-type (Col-0 or WS). Wild-type (Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes Col-0 and Ws), the triple mutant grf1/grf2/grf3, and transgenic plants overexpressing rGRF1 or rGRF3 were grown in vertical culture dishes on modified Knop’s medium for 2 weeks and then root tissues were collected for RNA extraction. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Tarek Hewezi.

Project description:Transcript profiling analysis of Hydraulic conductivity of Root 1 (HCR1) mutant compared to wild type (Col-0) using ARABIDOPSIS GENE1.1ST ARRAY STRIP (901793, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA).
Project description:Transcription profiling of seven-day-old seedlings of p35S:OBP4-GR treated with DEX or EtOH for 12 and 24 h. Purpose: find transcriptionally regulated genes downstream of the dof transcription factors OBP4 in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana Method: compare transcript levels after ectopic induction of OBP4 for 12 h and 24 h. Ectopic expressing was induced by introducing the coding sequence of OBP4 fused to the glucocorticoid receptor under the control of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus p35S promoter (p35S:OBP4-GR) in wild type Arabidopsis Col-0 plants. Seven day old plants expressing the construct were treated with Dexamethason (DEX) or ethanol (EtOH) as a mock for 12 and 24 h. After root tips of 300 seedlings per rep were collected.
Project description:The plant hormone gibberellin (GA) represents an important regulator of growth and development. Early transcriptional events controlled by GA are not well characterised. Previous microarray studies have identified genes responsive to GA treatment in the whole seedling. The whole seedling represents many tissues where subtle effects of GA treatment in specific tissues may be masked. When treated with GA, an effect on the growth rate of roots was observed. More specifically, the shorter root of a GA-deficient plant can be rescued to wild-type length by the application of GA. This experiment was designed to identify GA-regulated genes in the root tips of Arabidopsis. The use of a GA-deficient mutant provides a greater potential to identify genes responding to GA treatment. Root tips are ideally suited for the quick uptake of the hormone treatment. There will be two biological replicates which will each consist of a control treatment at 0 minutes and 2 hours, as well as the experimental GA-treated 2 hour time point. This system provides an opportunity to compare gene expression between treated and non-treated root tips and allow the identification of early GA-responsive genes.
