Plants respond to synthetic chemicals by eliciting a xenobiotic response (XR) that enhances the expression of detoxifying enzymes such as glutathione transferases (GSTs). In agrochemistry, the ability of safeners to induce an XR is used to increase herbicide detoxification in cereal crops. Based on the responsiveness of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to the rice safener fenclorim (4,6-dichloro-2-phenylpyrimidine), a series of related derivatives was prepared and tested for the ability to i ...[more]

Project description:Global gene expression analysis of Staphylococcus aureus following Ortho-Benzyl-Para-Chloro Phenol (OBPCP) treatment using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays. Results from this study provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular response of Staphylococcus aureus to OBPCP. We conducted five independent microarray experiments (biological replicates) in the absence (control) and the presence (experimental) of Ortho-Benzyl-Para-Chloro Phenol(OBPCP). Fold change was calculated as a ration between the signal averages of five untreated (control) and five OBPCP-treated (experimental) cultures after 0, 10 and 60 min exposure time.

Project description:Plants live in soils that vary considerably, both spatially and over time, in terms of nutrient composition and pH. Consistently, plants have to recognize and adapt to these changes by altering their structure and metabolism. The goal of this array analysis is to characterize the global transcriptional response to external pH changes in roots, which to date is almost unexplored. Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-0) were grown in hydroponic cultures in basic nutrient solution. Two days before treatment the media was shifted to nutrient solution containing 5mM MES, pH 6. At the time of the treatment start (4 hours after light on) the plants were shifted to nutrient solutions of pH 4.5 and 6.0 (control). Root RNA samples from time point 1 and 8 hour after treatment start is used for array analyzes. Keywords: Expression profilling by array 12 samples were used in this experiment

Project description:We used N-(1-naphthyl) phthalamic acid (NPA)-induced vascular overgrowth in Arabidopsis leaves to look for differential up-regulation of genes in NPA-treated tissues that may be involved in vascular differentiation. Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 plants were grown for approximately 2 weeks on solid ATS medium (1) containing a final concentration of 10 um NPA (dissolved in DMSO) or an equivalent volume of DMSO (control). At this stage plants had approximately 6 rosette leaves. RNA was prepared from entire shoot tissues of control (DMSO) or NPA-treated plants.(1) Lincoln et al., 1990.

Project description:Xylella fastidiosa is the etiologic agent of a wide range of plant diseases including citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), a major threat to the Brazilian citrus industry. Genome sequences of several strains of this phytopathogen are accessible, enabling large-scale functional studies. Transcript levels in different iron availabilities were assessed with DNA microarrays representing 2608 (91.6%) coding sequences (CDS) of X. fastidiosa CVC strain 9a5c. When treated with the iron chelator 2,2-dipyridyl, 193 CDS were considered as up-regulated and 216 as down-regulated. In the presence of 100uM of ferric pyrophosphate, 218 and 256 CDS were considered as up- and down-regulated, respectively. Differential expression for a subset of 44 CDS was further evaluated by reverse transcription - quantitative PCR that showed a Pearson correlation of 0.77 with array results. The CDS differentially expressed upon the iron concentration shift participate in diverse cellular functions. Many CDS involved with regulatory functions, pathogenicity and cell structure, were modulated in both conditions tested suggesting that major changes in cell architecture and metabolism occur when X. fastidiosa cells are exposed to extreme variations in iron concentration. Interestingly, the modulated CDS include those related to colicin V-like bacteriocin synthesis and secretion and to pili/fimbriae functions. We also investigated the contribution of the ferric uptake regulator Fur to the iron regulon of X. fastidiosa. The promoter regions of strain 9a5c genome were screened for putative Fur boxes and candidates were analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Taken together, our data support the hypothesis that Fur is not solely responsible for the modulation of the iron regulon of X. fastidiosa and present novel evidence for iron regulation of pathogenicity determinants. Direct comparison between high iron content (100uM ferric pyrophosphate) and control condition. Hybridizations are dye-swaped. There are 2 biological replicates (independent harvest) and 2 technical replicates of each array (L - left and R - right).

Project description:Desulfovibrio vulgaris has been studied extensively for its potential in the bioremediation of heavy metals and radionuclides. Hydrocarbons and solvents, as frequent environmental co-contaminants, have been reported to inhibit microbial activities and thereby pose a limitation on bioremediation efficiency. As a part of the Genomes: GTL project to deduce the stress response pathways in metal/radionuclide reducing bacteria, we studied the responses of D. vulgaris to acetone, which is a ketone solvent frequently observed at contaminated DOE sites. Growth experiments in closed vessels at 37 °C indicated that D. vulgaris could maintain normal growth with 3%(v/v) acetone following a 1-h lag phase. When the acetone concentration was raised to 5%(v/v), we observed a 2-h lag phase followed by a growth rate which was only 15% that of normal. At an acetone concentration of 8%(v/v), no active growth was observed following 10 hours of incubation. To assess the mechanism of acetone inhibition, genome-wide transcriptional profiles were analyzed from D. vulgaris cultures following acetone (5% v/v) treatment using whole-genome microarrays. This acetone shock altered the expression of a large number of genes in the D. vulgaris genome, of which 309 were up-regulated greater than 2 fold and 199 were down-regulated by over 2 fold. Transcripts highly up-regulated included genes encoding the flagella structural subunits, flgB (15 fold), fliE (11 fold), and flgH (10 fold). Another group of genes highly induced were chaperones, such as dnaJ (11 fold), groES (8 fold), and hsp20 (8 fold). Down-regulated genes included two groups of genes, ribosomal proteins and amino acid transporters, suggesting a state of growth arrest upon acetone addition. These results were interpreted to mean that D. vulgaris responds to elevated solvent levels by increased motility and maintenance of proper protein functions. Current work is focused on the analysis of regulatory pathways based on temporal transcriptional dynamics. Keywords: Stress response

Project description:We characterized two independent insertional mutants of the AtEXO70A1 gene, encoding a subunit of the exocyst complex. Homozygous mutants exhibit a suite of phenotypic defects: polar growth of root hairs and stigmatic papillae is disturbed; organs are generally smaller; plants show loss of apical dominance and an indeterminate growth where instead of floral meristems new lateral inflorescences are initiated in a reiterative manner; exo70A1 mutants have dramatically reduced fertility. These results suggest that EXO70A1 is involved in cell and organ morphogenesis. Keywords: Expression profiling by array 4 samples were used in this experiment

Subsequently, acetone (5% v/v) was added into triplicate cultures. Gene expression profiles 30 and 100 minutes following acetone exposure were compared with those of the control cultures without acetone treatment. Total RNA was harvested from three replicate control and treated cultures at two time points following acetone addition. RNA extraction, purification, and labeling were performed independently on each cell sample.Two samples of each total RNA preparation were labeled, one with Cy3-dUTP and another with Cy5-dUTP for microarray hybridization (Dye swap).

Project description:The cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b counter-defense protein disrupts plant antiviral mechanisms mediated by RNA silencing and salicylic acid (SA). Using NASC ATH-1 microarrays to investigate defensive gene expression in 2b-transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants we found that, surprisingly, 2b inhibited expression of few SA-regulated genes and in some instances enhanced the effect of SA on certain genes. Strikingly, the 2b protein inhibited changes in the expression of 90% of genes regulated by jasmonic acid (NASCARRAYS-415: Lewsey et al. Molec. Plant-Microbe Interact. vol. 23, in press). We will extend this work to understand the effects of the 2b protein on plant gene expression during an authentic viral infection. By comparing the effects on the transcriptome of infection by wild-type CMV and the 2b gene deletion mutant, CMVâËâ 2b, we will reveal not only the influence of the 2b protein but also the effects of its interactions with other viral gene products (and the process of infection itself), on the host transcriptome. 9 samples were used in this experiment
