Project description:We report POWERDRESS (PWR), a SANT domain containing protein known to facilitate the deacetylation of lysine rich residues of histone H3 by HISTONE DEACETYLASE 9 (HDA9), to play key role in temperature induced growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Mutations in PWR showed severe attenuation in high temperature associated phenotypes viz., temperature-induced hypocotyl elongation, petiole elongation and early flowering. The study involved analysing the impact of the loss of PWR on the transcriptome in response to changes in ambient temperature. About one hundred 6 day old seedlings of wild type (Col-0) and pwr-2 mutant (in Col-0 background) were grown at 23 °C in short days (SD) photoperiod in growth chambers (GR-36, Percival Scientific, Canada). Half of the samples were then shifted to 27°C under short day photoperiod. Total RNA was extracted from whole seedlings grown at 23 °C and 27°C after two hours. Two biological replicates were used for Col-0 and pwr-2 samples. RNA was extracted using Isolate II RNA plant kit (Bioline Pty Ltd, Australia). RNA-Seq libraries were generated on Illumina HiSeqTM 2000 platform using paired-end sequencing of 90 bp in length at BGI-Shenzen (Beijing Genomics Institute). Gene expression analysis was performed using DESeq2 (v1.14.1) differential expression analysis pipeline.
Project description:Expression profiles of MicroRNA and SiRNA of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and transgenic plants with constitutive expression of the chimeric receptors NRG1 grown at different temperature To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of de-cosuppression with memory by high temperature in Arabidopsis, we performed the expression profiles of microRNA and SiRNA in transgenic plants with constitutive expression of the chimeric receptors NRG1 and wide type Col-0 grown at different temperature using the Custom LC Sciences Arabidopsis microRNA and SiRNA array. Keywords: high temperature, de-cosuppression, MicroRNA, SiRNA
Project description:Plants acclimate to environmental fluctuations by transitory reconfigurations the homeostatic network. Primary studies suggested that transcriptome responses to deal with fluctuations in light intensity and temperature tend to reversibility after stress removal in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. To gain more insight into this pattern in the context of acclimation, RNA-Seq analysis were conducted in Arabidopsis thaliana after different abiotic stress treatments consisting in high light (HL), high humidity, drought, heat, cold and combinations among factors or after recovery periods. Our transcriptome study is in line of a general pattern wherby transcriptome changes in response to adverse environments are prone to return to the basal state during the de-acclimation phase.
Project description:Plants transcriptome react to environment temperature changes profoundly. In Arabidopsis seedlings, genes respond to temperature fluctuations to adopt the ever-changing ambient environment. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying heat stress response progress in Arabidopsis.
