Project description:We profiled transcripts from sorted phloem cells of wild-type and apl mutants to identify the genes regulated by APL in phloem. We profiled transcripts from sorted phloem cells of wild-type and apl mutants to identify the genes regulated by APL in phloem.
Project description:We profiled transcripts from sorted phloem cells of wild-type and apl mutants to identify the genes regulated by APL in phloem. We profiled transcripts from sorted phloem cells of wild-type and apl mutants to identify the genes regulated by APL in phloem. Three biological replicates for control WT and apl mutants were used in thes study. Root tissue was protoplasted and sorted using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Total RNA was extracted from GFP+ protoplasts.
Project description:Transformation of undifferentiated stem cells into cells with special functions is central for organismal development. The phloem tissue mediates long-distance transport of energy metabolites along plant bodies and is characterized by an exceptional degree of cellular specialization. How the phloem-specific developmental program is implemented is, however, unknown. Here we reveal that the ubiquitously expressed PHD-finger protein OBERON3 (OBE3) and the phloem-specific SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1-LIKE 5 (SMXL5) protein form a central module for establishing phloem identity in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). By phloem-specific ATAC-seq analyses, we show that OBE3 and SMXL5 proteins establish a phloem-specific chromatin profile.
Project description:We established a novel in vitro tissue culture system (named VISUAL), in which xylem and phloem differentiation can be induced with Arabidopsis thaliana cotyledons To compare gene expression profiles between WT and apl during vascular development, we performed GeneChip analysis using VISUAL.
