Project description:ra15-07_burxcol_465 - burxcol-465 - What is the transcriptomic contrast between a TDNA-mutant and its respective wild-type from young rosette grown in precisely-controlled conditions on our phenotyping robot (Phenoscope)? - The candidate gene (AT1G36310) was identified through QTL mapping and cloning for rosette leaf growth trait in a Bur x Col RIL set. It corresponds to a medium effect on growth and a major effect on other traits (leaf colour and pigments). We are now exploiting an independent TDNA-insertion line (SALK_135308) in the Col-0 background) to study its effect in a simple genetic context. This is a simple comparison between homozygous T-DNA (2 lines) and their respective WT (2 lines).
Project description:Nontargeted and targeted metabolomics measurements of abiotic stress responses in three-week-old Arabidopsis thaliana plants' rosette leaf tissue for Col-0 wild type plants and double/triple knockout mutants of aquaporins (pip2;1 pip2;2 and pip2;1 pip2;2 pip2;4) treated with drought, heat at different air humidities, or combined drought-heat stress at different air humidities. This experiment contains FT-ICR-MS measurements for 103 Arabidopsis thaliana rosette leaf samples covering three genotypes under six different environmental conditions. The three genotypes comprise the Col-0 wildtype and two loss-of-function mutants of aquaporins, a pip2;1 pip2;2 double mutant and a pip2;1 pip2;2 pip2;4 triple mutant (respective AGI locus identifiers: AT3G53420, AT2G37170, AT5G60660). The six conditions include control condition (well-watered, 22 °C, 70% relative air humidity), drought stress (one week without watering), heat stress without changing the absolute humidity of the ambient air (6 hours at 33 °C, 37% relative air humidity), heat stress with supplemented air humidity to maintain a constant vapor pressure deficit before and during the heat episode (6 hours at 33 °C, 84% relative air humidity), and the combinations of drought pretreatment with each of the two heat stress variants (one week of drought followed by 6 hours of heat stress). Samples from all conditions were harvested at the same time (within 15 min starting at 5 pm). For validation, GC-TOF-MS measurements were done for two genotypes (wildtype, double mutant) and two conditions (drought, control) on partially overlapping samples.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling in young flowers (stage 8) of Arabidopsis wild type control plants and sdg2-1 mutant is performed using Aligent’s Whole Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray (G2519F, V4, 4x44K). A significant number of genes involved in gametophyte development are found differentially regulated in the sdg2-1 mutant.

A significant number of genes involved in gametophyte development are found differentially regulated in the sdg2-1 mutant. Two-condition experiment, young flowers of wild type control vs. young flowers of sdg2-1 mutant. Two biological replicates: 2 control, 2 mutant, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:geLC-MS/MS analysiswas performed to identify proteins that are present in apoplastic fluid isolated from rosette leaves of 8-week-old wild type and carbonic anhydrase (ca1ca4) mutant Arabidopsis plants.
Project description:How bacteria from the microbiota modulate the physiology of its host is an important question to address. Previous work revealed that the metabolic status of Arabidopsis thaliana was crucial for the specific recruitment of Streptomycetaceae into the microbiota. Here, the Arabidopsis-Actinacidiphila interaction was further depicted by inoculating axenic Arabidopsis with Actinacidiphila cocklensis DSM 42063 or Actinacidiphila bryophytorum DSM 42138(previously named Streptomyces cocklensis and Streptomyces bryophytorum). We demonstrated that these two bacteria colonize A. thaliana wild-type plants, but their colonization efficiency was reduced in a chs5 mutant with defect in isoprenoid, phenylpropanoids and lipids synthesis. We observed that those bacteria affect the growth of the chs5 mutant but not of the wild-type plants. Using a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach, we showed a modulation of the Arabidopsis proteome and in particular its components involved in photosynthesis or phytohormone homeostasis or perception by A. cocklensis and A. bryophytorum. This study unveils specific aspects of the Actinacidiphila-Arabidopsis interaction, which implies molecular processes impaired in the chs5 mutant and otherwise at play in the wild-type. More generally, this study highlights complex and distinct molecular interactions between Arabidopsis thaliana and bacteria belonging to the Actinacidiphila genus.
