Affy_rnai_cadpoplars: Transcriptome analysis of RNAi-CAD transgenic poplars

ABSTRACT: affy_rnai_cadpoplar - affy_rnai_cadpoplars - This experiment aims to characterize global gene expression in young xylem of transgenic RNAi-CAD poplars in comparison to WT poplars. Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CAD) is the final enzyme involved in the monolignol biosynthesis pathway. Transgenic poplars were produced using RNAi strategy (pHellsgate 8 vector, Helliwell and Waterhouse, 2003) and exhibited the expected phenotype (red xylem, reduced CAD activity).Biological question (15 lines max):This experiment aims to characterize global gene expression in young xylem of transgenic RNAi-CAD poplars in comparison to WT poplars. Cinnamyl AlcoholDehydrogenase (CAD) is the final enzyme involved in the monolignol biosynthesispathway.Transgenic poplars were produced using RNAi strategy (pHellsgate 8 vector, Helliwell and Waterhouse, 2003) and exhibited the expectedphenotype (red xylem, reduced CAD activity). -RNAi-CAD transgenic poplars were produced using hairpin RNAi strategy (pHellsgate 8 vector, Helliwell and Waterhouse, 2003). For this transcriptome anaylsis, 2 independent transgenic lines (named pHG8-CAD2 and pHG8-CAD19) from the same transformation procedure were used as biological repeats. Four-month-old poplar plants were inclined at 30° in the greenhouse and sampled after 26 days. Young differentiating xylem originating from the lower side of stems - opposite wood - (ODX) was sampled on each individual tree by scrapping slightly the debarked stem with a scalpel. Samples were immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, ground with mortar and pestle, and total RNAs were extracted from fine ground powder using the QIAGEN miRNeasy kit according to the manufacturer. One Affymetrix slide corresponds to a pool of RNA samples from 2-4 individual trees (WT, RNAi-CAD transgenic lines 2 and 19). Total number of slides = 2 genotypes (WT/RNAi line) x 1 tissue x 2 biological replicates = 4 slides were done. 4 arrays - poplar; normal vs rnai mutant comparaison

Project description:rs04-03_myb - myb - Xylogenesis is a fundamental developmental process that is specific of vascular plants. It allows the formation of xylem, also called wood in trees, a complex tridimensional tissue composed of different cell types. This process occurs through the control of fundamental cell mechanisms like cell division and differentiation, secondary cell wall synthesis, lignin deposition and programmed cell death. Xylogenesis is controlled spatially and temporally by specific genetic programs that involve hundreds of genes. For instance, lignin biosynthetic genes, CAD and CCR, are specifically expressed during xylogenesis through MYB transcription factor binding sites, a process that seems to be common to all vascular plants. We have cloned two xylem specific MYB transcription factors, EgMYB1 et EgMYB2, in Eucalyptus. Interestingly, they are able to bind MYB consensus sequences of CAD and CCR promoters in vitro and to modulate CAD and CCR expression in vivo. When overexpressed in Arabidopsis or tobacco, they affect xylem structure by changing cell wall structure and quality. To follow expression changes of Arabidopsis genes in transgenic plants overexpressing Eg MYB1 and EgMYB2 should help us to find out which genes might be target of those transcription factors. This should help us to decipher the actual role of those two MYBs in xylogenesis, two new members of a large family of transcription factors in plants. - Xylogenesis is a fundamental developmental process that is specific of vascular plants.
