Project description:To determine the extent to which the major small RNA pathways functions across the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, small RNA populations from several tissues of wild-type (wt) and mutant plants were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced using high-throughput 454 sequencing technology. Keywords: small RNAs, high-throughput sequencing
Project description:We report genome-wide binding targets of REF6, a H3K27me3 demethylase and also high-throughput profiling of histone modifications of H3K27me3 in Arabidopsis flowers. To further investigate the downstream targets of REF6 represented H3K27me3 demethylase, we performed RNA-seq using single, double mutant and triple mutant. Using chromatin-immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing, we mapped thousands of binding targets of REF6 in flowers and in addition, we used a second fixative, DSG to capture more indirect targets of REF6. In order to investigate the function of indirect binding of REF6 represented H3K27me3 demethylase, the binding targets of DNA binding domain deleted REF6 were identified in the triple mutant background in which REF6 and its two homologs were mutated. Meanwhile, the H3K27me3 marked regions in both wild type and triple mutant flowers were defined. By analyzing the differentially enriched H3K27me3 region and REF6 binding profile, we found that REF6 functions to determine the boundary of H3K27me3 regions. Comparison of binding profiles of REF6 in flowers and in seedlings (ref) revealed a tissue-specific binding manner. More importantly, we found that the indirect binding of REF6 is mediated by trans factors and this indirect binding is crucial for REF6 function, especially in reproductive organs in Arabidopsis. Our results provide novel molecular insights into REF6 functions.
Project description:In order to dissect the roles of sequence-specific transcription factors WRKY25, WRKY33 and WRKY75 in apoplastic ROS signaling, a transcriptome profiling of ozone response was done using two arabidopsis mutants: a double mutant wrky25 wrky33 and a single mutant wrky75. The single mutant lines used for transcriptomic analyses were obtained from NASC: wrky25 (SAIL_529_B11) and wrky33 (SALK_006603) were crossed to generate double mutant wrky25 wrky33. T-DNA insertion mutant wrky75-25 (N121525) was obtained from NASC.

Project description:Here we use bisulfite conversion of rRNA depleted RNA combined with high-throughput Illumina sequencing (RBS-seq) to identify single-nucleotide resolution of m5C sites transcriptome-wide in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. m5C sites were analyzed in wild type (WT) and an Arabidopsis T-DNA KO mutant for the RNA methyltransferase TRM4B.
