Project description:We analyze the effect of the downexpression of the ARES lncRNA (AT4G14548) on the transcriptome of Arabidopsis roots. 12 DAS roots were harvested and total RNA extracted for RNA sequencing.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Arabidopsis roots by the effect of light. Plant growth is sustained by a continuous cell division in meristems followed by cell differentiation and elongation. We have found that in Arabidopsis thaliana roots, flavonols play a key role in regulating the transition from cell division to differentiation. Using an engineered device to grow roots in darkness, but shoot in light cycle, coupled with transcriptomic and metabolomics analysis, we deciphered that flavonols accumulation regulates proliferation-promoting levels of auxin-PLETHORA and superoxide anion (O2-). High flavonols levels restrict auxin transport and the PLETHORA gradient but also superoxide radical content, promoting an accelerated cell differentiation. Furthermore, cytokinin-SHY2 and H2O2-UPB1 pathways, which promote differentiation and, respectively, antagonize auxin and O2- activity, increase flavonols biosynthesis establishing mutual interactions among these pathways. Flavonols function as positional signals integrating hormonal and ROS pathways to determine final organ growth. This work analyze the effect of root illumination in gene transcription. Details of how plants and roots are grown are described in Silva et al. (submitted) A six chip study using total RNA extracted from three independent experiments of Arabidopsis roots growing in presence of light and three independent experiments of Arabidopsis roots growing without light.
Project description:We have analyzed the effect of high temepratures in roots and shoots of Arabidopsis using a novel approach, since we cultivate the seedlings with the root system in a temeprature gradient, simulatinfg the soil.
