Expression of Arabidopsis cis-NAT pairs in inflorescences, leaves and roots

ABSTRACT: We systematically identified long noncoding natural antisense transcripts (lncNATs), defined as lncRNAs transcribed from the opposite DNA strand of coding or noncoding genes. We identified in total 37,238 sense-antisense transcript pairs and found 70% mRNAs are associated with antisense transcripts in Arabidopsis. To detect the expression levels of these NAT pairs, we designed an Agilent custom array, ATH NAT array, and analyzed RNA samples from Arabidopsis inflorescences, leaves and roots, with 3 biological replicates each. Expression levels of cis-NAT pairs were investigated in WT inflorescences, leaves and roots with 3 biological replicates.

We identified in total 37,238 sense-antisense transcript pairs and found 70% mRNAs are associated with antisense transcripts in Arabidopsis. To investigate the role of NATs in response to white light treatment, we designed an Agilent custom array, ATH NAT array, and analyzed WT seedlings grown in the dark (0h) and seedlings undergoing de-etiolation in continuous white light for 1h and 6h. To obtain information on organ-specific transcriptome profiles, we further dissected seedlings into cotyledons, hypocotyls and roots. We examined the abundance of NATs in etiolated seedlings and seedlings undergoing de-etiolation in continuous white light for 1/6h. Seedlings were further dissected into cotyledons, hypocotyls and roots. RNAs from 3 biological replicates of each of the 3 organs were separately hybridized to ATH NAT arrays to profile light-regulated NAT pairs.
Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNA) transcribed from intergenic regions of eukaryotic genomes play important roles in key biological processes; yet, plant lincRNAs remain poorly characterized. Here we profiled lincRNA expression in inflorescences, leaves and roots using ATH lincRNA v1 array. we found 92% lincRNAs could be detected in at least 2 ATH lincRNA v1 arrays and majority of the lincRNAs were expressed at levels higher than those of pri-miRNAs but lower than those of mRNAs.Using a cut-off of 2-fold change, we identified 149 lincRNAs preferentially expressed in inflorescences, 232 in leaves and 164 in roots. Nine arrays were hybridized with RNAs from inflorescences, leaves and roots with 3 biological replicates.

Project description:RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 2 (RDR2) is a crucial regulator of RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). Recentily RDR2 was reported to regulate expression of long intergenic noncoding RNAs. Here we used ATH lincRNA v1 expression arrays to compare lincRNA expression in inflorescence tissues of rdr2-1 and WT. Among the 4,634 lincRNAs detected we found that more than 34% of them were differentially expressed, including 676 lincRNAs that were up-regulated and 890 down-regulated in rdr2-1. Inflorescences(Col-0) x Inflorescences(rdr2-1), 3 biological replicates.
Project description:We applied single-end strand-specific RNA-seq experiments to compare the abundance of natural antisense transcripts in Arabidopsis. Examination of 3 wild type (WT) organs, including leaves, inflorescences and siliques.
Project description:CURLY LEAF (CLF), the major histone methyltransferase of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), modifies trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and mediates dynamical chromatin repression in Arabidopsis. Here we used strand specific RNA-sequencing to profile Arabidopsis transcriptomes obtained from roots, shoots, flowers and siliques of Col-0 and clf-28 plants. Our analysis identified a large number of CLF-regulatedd transcripts in Arabidopsis. Transcriptome profiling in roots, shoots, inflorescences and siliques of WT and clf-28 plants with 3 biological replicates.
Project description:To identify novel miRNA and NAT-siRNAs that are associated with abiotic stresses in rice, we generated small RNA sequences from inflorescences from rice under control and under dought, salt, and cold stress treatments. Over 30 million reads were generated. sequencing of small RNAs in rice under control, drought, salt, and cold stress conditions.
