Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Col4WT and WRKY15 overexpressor (WRKY15OE) plants, grown under controlled and mild salt stress conditions in order to identify molecular mechanisms underlying the increased salt stress sensitivity of WRKY15OE plants.
Project description:The scope of the project is to find DNA binding sites of the DNA binding protein AtDEK3. For the experiments AtDEK3 overexpressor (OE) plants have been obtained. The AtDEK3 was tagged with a CFP-tag. With ChIP the protein was pulled down and eluted DNA was send for sequencing. Gene ontology (GO) term classification of genes enriched for AtDEK3 binding indicated that AtDEK3 target genes are involved in diverse biological processes.
