ABSTRACT: Unstable transcripts in Arabidopsis allotetraploids are associated with nonadditive gene expression in response to abiotic and biotic stresses
Project description:In plants, many gene transcripts are very unstable, which is important for the tight control of their temporal and spatial expression patterns. To identify cellular factors controlling the stability of unstable mRNAs in plants, we used luciferase imaging in Arabidopsis to isolate a recessive mutant, stabilized 1 (sta1), with enhanced stability of the normally unstable luciferase transcript. The sta1 mutation also causes the stabilization of some endogenous gene transcripts and has a range of developmental and stress response phenotypes. STA1 encodes a nuclear protein similar to the human U5 snRNP-associated 102-kDa protein and to the yeast pre-mRNA splicing factor Prp1p and Prp6p. STA1 expression is up-regulated by cold stress, and the sta1 mutant is defective in the splicing of the cold-induced COR15A gene. Our results show that STA1 is a pre-mRNA splicing factor required for not only splicing but also the turnover of unstable transcripts and that it has an important role in plant responses to abiotic stresses. Experiment Overall Design: Five replicates for WT (Control) and two replicates for sta1 (mutant) were compared.

Abstract:
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) cascade plays an important role in regulating plant growth and development, generating cellular responses to the extracellular stimuli. MAPKs cascade mainly consist of three sub-families i.e. mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), several cascades of which are activated by various abiotic and biotic stresses. In this work we have modeled the holistic molecular mechanisms essential to MAPKs activation in response to several abiotic and biotic stresses through a system biology approach and performed its simulation studies. As extent of abiotic and biotic stresses goes on increasing, the process of cell division, cell growth and cell differentiation slow down in time dependent manner. The models developed depict the combinatorial and multicomponent signaling triggered in response to several abiotic and biotic factors. These models can be used to predict behavior of cells in event of various stresses depending on their time and exposure through activation of complex signaling cascades.

Project description:Biotic and abiotic stresses limit agricultural yields, and plants are often simultaneously exposed to multiple stresses. Combinations of stresses such as heat and drought or cold and high light intensity, have profound effects on crop performance and yeilds To analyze such responses, we initially compared transcriptome changes in ten Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes using cold, heat, high light, salt and flagellin treatments as single stress factors or their double combinations.
Project description:Even though accessions of one species are genetically very closely related to each other, they may show significantly different susceptibility or resistance towards abiotic and biotic stresses. The Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Col-0 and C24 differ significantly in their resistance against the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst). To identify the molecular mechanisms contributing to this naturally occurring variety in resistance against Pst, we analysed changes in transcripts in Col-0 and C24 upon infection with Pst.
Project description:Rapid responses to biotic and abiotic insults are crucial for plant survival. We examined the very early (10 min) wound transcriptome in order to increase our understanding regarding this critical intial phase of the plant response to stress. Our analysis revealed a rapid induction of stress-related transcripts that was distinct from the long term events which are dominated by jasmonic pathway responses. The transcriptome showed high correlation between the early wound response and other early but not late responses to innate immune interactions and other abiotic stresses. In addition those early responses were correlated with transcriptomes of response to singlet oxygen as displayed in the flu mutant. Singlet oxygen appears to be a signaling intermediate in the plant response to multiple stresses.
Project description:Iodine treatments specifically regulated the expression of several genes in shoot and root tissues, mostly involved in the plant defence response, suggesting the protective role of iodine against both biotic and abiotic stresses.
Project description:We describe the transcriptional profiles upon 1 mM linolenic acid (Ln) treatment in Arabidopsis cell suspension cultures. Ln is an important fatty acid in plant. We found that Ln treatment induced the expression of 533 genes and repressed the expression of 2501 gene. GO analysis indicated that most of those genes related to Reactive Oxygen Species signaling, abiotic and biotic stress responses, and/or Jasmonic Acid biosynthesis and signaling. This study provides basic information on how Ln regulates the gene expression and fulfils its role in abiotic and biotic stresses.
