Project description:We examined the changes in gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana grown under arsenate stress. The transcriptional profiling reveals antioxidant activity and repression of the phosphate starvation response. Keywords: dual label, stress response
Project description:We performed a transcriptomic analysis of Pi starvation responses in Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-0) wild type plants under phosphate starvation stress and in plants with altered PHR1(-like) activity, comparing mutants of phr1 and phr1-phl1 grown in phosphate-lacking medium. Results show the central role of PHR1 and functionally redundant members of its family in the control of transcriptional responses to Pi starvation.
Project description:We examined the changes in gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana grown under arsenate stress. The transcriptional profiling reveals antioxidant activity and repression of the phosphate starvation response. Keywords: dual label, stress response This experiment included a comparison of three biological replicate controls against three biological arsenate-stressed replicates with a dye-swap technical replicate for a total of six microarray slide hybridizations.
Project description:We performed a transcriptomic analysis of Pi starvation responses in Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-0) wild type plants under phosphate starvation stress and in plants with altered PHR1(-like) activity, comparing mutants of phr1 and phr1-phl1 grown in phosphate-lacking medium. Results show the central role of PHR1 and functionally redundant members of its family in the control of transcriptional responses to Pi starvation. The analysis was performed in wild-type plants grown for seven days in complete (+Pi) and Pi-lacking (-Pi) Johnson solid media and the single phr1 and double phr1-phl1 mutants grown for 7 days in –Pi medium. Three independent biological samples of total RNA from shoot and root were hybridized separately.

Project description:Pi availability is a significant limiting factor for plant growth in both natural and agricultural systems. To cope with such limiting conditions, plants have adapted developmental and biochemical strategies to enhance Pi acquisition and to avoid starvation. A myriad of genes that are involved in the regulation and display of these strategies have been identified. However, the possible epigenetic components regulating the phosphate starvation responses have not been thoroughly investigated. DNA methylation is a major epigenetic mark involved in diverse biological processes and it may play a critical role in Pi starvation stress adaptation, also changes in DNA methylation can lead to a unique gene expression pattern in response to specific developmental and environmental conditions. Here in we demonstrate that non-CpG DNA methylation is required for proper expression of a number of Pi-limitation responsive genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and results in altered morphologic and physiologic phosphate starvation responses.Our data suggest that DNA methylation is involved in the modulation of Pi starvation responses via the transcriptional regulation of a set of phosphate-starvation responsive genes.
