Project description:Col-0 floral stem was grafted on the msh1 mutant (Col-0/msh1); on the dcl2,3,4,msh1 quadruple mutant (Col-0/dcl2,3,4,msh1); on Col-0 (Col-0/Col-0). Seeds were collected from the grafted Col-0 scion after grafts were established. Seed coming from the graft then were grown on the peat mix, leaf tissue was collected at the bolting and used for the bisulfite sequencing (methylome). Tissue from the msh1 mutant and dcl2,3,4,msh1 quadruple mutants used as rootstocks was similarly collected at the bolting stage and used for the bisulfite sequencing.
Project description:Col-0 floral stem was grafted on the msh1 mutant (Col-0/msh1) and on the dcl2,3,4,msh1 quadruple mutant (Col-0/dcl2,3,4,msh1). Seeds were collected from the grafted Col-0 scion after grafts were established. Seed coming from the graft then were grown on 0.5M MS growth medium and root tissue was collected after 12 days and used for the RNA sequencing.
Project description:Small RNA sequences from Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 inflorescence tissues of three biological replicates. The data were analyzed to identify non-templated nucleotides in Arabidopsis small RNAs.
Project description:As sessile organisms, plants require dynamic pathways in order to recognize pathogens and coordinate plant defenses by signalling. Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 is able to avoid triggering plant defenses prior to entering the cell, and therefore is only detected once infection has begun making Agrobacterium a plant pathogen to numerous plant species. Understanding plant responses to Agrobacterium will be useful in improving plant defenses and potentially may also improve plant transformation efficiency. Microarrays were utilized for detailing the global gene expression pattern in A. thaliana Col-0 roots in response to A. tumefaciens C58 for the identification of differentially expressed genes. 3-week-old A.thaliana Col-0 seedlings were selected for growth in hydroponic systems. A. tumefaciens C58 was inoculated into the hydroponic system and co-cultivation persisted for 8 hours. Root tissue was seperated for RNA extraction and hybridization to the ATH1 Affymetrix microarray.
Project description:Col-0 floral stem was grafted on the msh1 mutant (Col-0/msh1); on the dcl2,3,4,msh1 quadruple mutant (Col-0/dcl2,3,4,msh1); on Col-0 (Col-0/Col-0). Seeds were collected from the grafted Col-0 scion after grafts were established. Seed coming from the graft then were grown on the peat mix, leaf tissue was collected at the bolting and used for the total RNA sequencing.
