Translation profiling of Arabidopsis cell cultures exposed to elevated temperature and high salinity

ABSTRACT: We investigated genome-wide changes in mRNA translation in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cell cultures exposed to brief perids of two types of stress: elevated temperature (37 degree_C) and high salinity (200 mM NaCl). To this end, we subjected polysomal RNA and non-polysomal RNA from sucrose gradient fractionated cell lysates to the co-hybridization on Agilent Arabidopsis 3 Oligo Microarrays. The ratio of signal intensities (polysomal RNA: non-polysomal RNA) was used as an indicator of the translation state for each transcript. To inspect coordination of changes in translational profiles with transcriptional profiles, we also isolated total RNAs from the same cells used for translational profiling experiments and investigated changes in accumulated transcript levels in response to each stress using the microarray. Two biological replicates were analyzed.
