Project description:bri1-5 is a weak mutant of Brassinosteroid Insensitive 1 (BRI1). Suppressors by activation tagging bri1-1D, brs1-1D and bak1-1D can recover bri1-5 phenotype. We use microarray to investigate which pathways or functional categories have been transcriptionally regulated by bri1-1D, brs1-1D and bak1-1D. Whole seedlings from wild-type (WS2), bri1-5, bri1-5/brs1-1D, bri1-5/bak1-1D, bri1-5/bri1-1D. Three biological replicates for each genotype.

Project description:Molecular genetic analyses support a central role of BZR1 in Brassinosteroid (BR) regulation of plant development. The dominant bzr1-1D mutation, which stabilizes the BZR1 protein, completely suppresses the de-etiolated phenotype of the null bri1-116 mutant grown in the dark. Using microarray analysis, we identified genes differentially expressed in bri1-116 compared to wild type and genes differentially expressed in the bzr1-1D;bri1-116 double mutant compared to the bri1-116 single mutant. Consistent with the phenotypic suppression of bri1-116 by bzr1-1D, about 80% of the genes affected in bri1-116 were affected oppositely by bzr1-1D BZR1 regulated genes were generated from comparing genes differentially expressed by bzr1-1D;bri1-116 and bri1-116. Genes affected by BRI1 were generated from comparing differentially expressed genes of bri1-116 and Col control. ANOVA was used to find genes whose expression was different between bzr1-1D;bri1-116 and bri1-116 or between bri1-116 and Col samples [see Supplementary file below].

Project description:Analysis of brassinosteroid (BR) and auxin effects on gene expression in Arabidopsis roots. Our genomic results indicate that BR and auxin induce largely opposite gene expression responses in primary roots. RNA-Seq for 7-day-old Arabidopsis Col-0, dwf4, bri1-116, and bri1-116;bzr1-1D roots grown on regular medium and treated with brassinolide, auxin or mock solution for 4 hr.
