Project description:The phytochrome family consists of five numbers (phyA-phyE) in Arabidopsis, of which phyB is the best characterized and shown to play a major role in mediating red light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation. In order to reveal the molecular basis for phyB-mediated red light signaling to promote photomorphogenesis, we analyzed the gene expression profile of red light-grown WT and phyB mutant seedlings by high throughput sequencing.
Project description:Light, as both energy source and informational signal, profoundly influences plant growth and development during the whole life span from seed germination to flowering. To dissect the role for red light signaling in regulate the seedling development, we analyzed the gene expression profile of red light- and dark-grown WT seedlings by high throughput sequencing.
Project description:We report the transcriptomic response of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings grown in continuous white light, darkness or darkness and 1 hour of red light
Project description:We report the changes in H3K9ac in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings grown in continuous white light, darkness or darkness and 1 hour of red light
Project description:Transcript profiling analysis of csn4-1 light grown mutant seedlings compared to wild type using Arabidopsis ATH1 GeneChip array Keywords: 7 day old light grown seedlings, wild type and mutant
Project description:Total RNA was extracted from samples including dark-grown WT and tir1 afb123, blue light-grown WT and cry1 cry2 seedlings in continuous conditions for 4.5 days and subjected to high throughput sequencing. Light and auxin co-regulate a variety of developmental processes. This study reveals the molecular basis for light and auxin crosstalk by analyzing gene expression profile under control of both signals.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana Ler wildtype and eid3 (empfindlicher im dunkelroten Licht 3) mutant seedlings in darkness and 45 min after a red-light pulse. Arabidopsis thaliana Ler wildtype and eid3 mutant seedlings were grown on 1/2 MS Agar plates covered with filter paper for 4 days in darkness after induction of germination with 2 h red light. Samples were either treated with 2 min red light (30 µmol/m2s) or kept in darkness and harvested after additional 45 min in darkness. 3 biological replicas were used for each of the 4 experimental conditions.
Project description:Phytochromes mediate a profound developmental shift when dark-grown seedlings are exposed to light. Here we show that a subset of genes is up regulated in phytochrome B (phyB) mutants even before dark-grown seedlings are exposed to light. Most of these genes bear the RY cis motif, which is a binding site of the transcription factor ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 3 (ABI3), and the phyB mutation also enhanced ABI3 expression. These changes in transcriptome have physiological consequences as seedlings of the abi3 mutant showed enhanced responses to pulses of far-red light, while ABI3 overexpressers exhibited the opposite pattern. Seedlings of the wild type derived from seeds germinated in full darkness showed enhanced expression of genes bearing the RY cis motif and reduced responses to far-red light. We propose that, via changes in ABI3 expression, light, perceived mainly by phyB in the seed, generates a downstream trans-developmental phase signal that pre-conditions the seedling to its most likely environment. Keywords: Arabidopsis, photoreceptors, light signal transduction, environmental responses
