Project description:The purpose of this dataset is to generate a transcriptomic series of staged non-induced lateral root intiation in M82 tomato. Sections of the primary roots containing lateral roots at 5 different developemental stages (staged by their anatomy and expression of the auxin response marker DR5) were collected.
Project description:We report the comparison of transcriptomic profiles in specific lateral root tissues for Col-0 wild type and puchi-1 mutant seedlings. Lateral root organogenesis is a key process in plant root system development and adaptation to the environment. To dissect the molecular events occurring during the early phase, we generated time-series transcriptomic datasets profiling lateral root development in puchi-1 and wild type backgrounds. Consistent with a mutually inhibitory mechanism, transcriptomic and reporter analysis revealed meristem-related genes were ectopically expressed during early stages of lateral root primordium formation in puchi-1. We conclude that PUCHI participates to the coordination of lateral root patterning and represses ectopic establishment of meristematic cell identities during early stages of organ development.
Project description:Cyclophilin A/DIAGEOTROPICA (DGT) has been linked to auxin-regulated development in tomato and appears to affect multiple developmental pathways. Loss of DGT function results in a pleiotropic phenotype that is strongest in the roots, including shortened roots with no lateral branching. Here, we present an RNA-Seq dataset comparing the gene expression profiles of wildtype (Ailsa Craig variety) and dgt tissues from three spatially separated developmental stages of the root tip (differentiation zone, elongation zone, and meristem), with three replicates for each tissue and genotype.
Project description:In order to better understand the commonalities and differences in lateral root and nodule development, we compared their organogenesis and correlated this with changes in gene expression. To initiate lateral roots in Medicago truncatula we turned 2-day-old seedlings 135°, before returning them to their original axis of growth, while for nodule initiation we applied droplets of Sinorhizobium meliloti on the susceptibility zone of the root.
Project description:Low phosphate concentrations are frequently a constraint for maize growth and development, and therefore, enormous quantities of phosphate fertilizer are expended in maize cultivation, which increases the cost of planting. Low phosphate stress not only increases root biomass but can also cause significant changes in root morphology. Low phosphate availability has been found to favor lateral root growth over primary root growth by dramatically reducing primary root length and increasing lateral root elongation and lateral root density in Arabdopsis. While in our assay when inbred line Q319 subjected to phosphate starvation, The numbers of lateral roots and lateral root primordia were decreased after 6 days of culture in a low phosphate solution (LP) compared to plants grown under normal conditions (sufficient phosphate, SP), and these differences were increased associated with the stress caused by phosphate starvation. However, the growth of primary roots appeared not to be sensitive to low phosphate levels. This is very different to Arabidopsis. To elucidate how low phosphate levels regulate root modifications, especially lateral root development, a transcriptomic analysis of the 1.0-1.5 cm lateral root primordium zone (LRZ) of maize Q319 treated after 2 and 8 days by low phosphate was completed respectively. The present work utilized an Arizona Maize Oligonucleotide array 46K version slides, which contained 46,000 maize 70-mer oligonucleotides designated by TIGR ID, and the sequence information is available at the website of the Maize Oligonucleotide Array Project as the search item representing the >30,000 identifiable unique maize genes (details at http://www.maizearray.org).

Project description:Plant root architecture is a major determinant of fitness, and is under constant modification in response to favorable and unfavorable environmental stimuli. Beyond impacts on the primary root, the environment can also alter the position, spacing, density, and length of secondary or lateral roots. Lateral root development is among the best-studied developmental processes in Arabidopsis thaliana, yet the earliest steps of organogenesis remain elusive. Among the challenges faced in capturing these early molecular events is the fact that this process occurs in a small number of cells with unpredictable timing. The advent of single-cell sequencing affords the opportunity to isolate cells undergoing this fate transition and examine their transcriptomes independently. Using this approach, we successfully captured the transcriptomes of lateral root primordia and discovered many previously unreported upregulated genes. To further study this process, we developed a method to selectively repress genes in the xylem pole pericycle cells where lateral roots originate. We found that expression of several of the upregulated genes was required for normal root development. In addition, we discovered a subpopulation of cells in the endodermal cell file that respond to lateral root initiation, further highlighting the benefits of the single cell approach.
Project description:To specifically profile early stages of lateral root formation we used the marker pHB53:NLS-3xmCherry, which is only expressed in lateral root primordium cells. We isolated ~2,000 lateral root primordium cells from stages I to IV through Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting, and profiled the transcriptome of 573 of these cells. As a LR primordium has ~6-10 cells at stage I and ~30-40 cells at stage IV, the number of sequenced cells would approximately cover 5-6 fold the total number of cells in the stages profiled.
Project description:Lateral root initiation was used as a model system to study the mechanisms behind auxin-induced cell division. Genome-wide transcriptional changes were monitored during the early steps of lateral root initiation. Inclusion of the dominant auxin signaling mutant solitary root1 (slr1) identified genes involved in lateral root initiation that act downstream of the AUX/IAA signaling pathway. Interestingly, key components of the cell cycle machinery were strongly defective in slr1, suggesting a direct link between AUX/IAA signaling and core cell cycle regulation. However, induction of the cell cycle in the mutant background by overexpression of the D-type cyclin (CYCD3;1) was able to trigger complete rounds of cell division in the pericycle that did not result in lateral root formation. Therefore, lateral root initiation can only take place when cell cycle activation is accompanied by cell fate respecification of pericycle cells. The microarray data also yielded evidence for the existence of both negative and positive feedback mechanisms that regulate auxin homeostasis and signal transduction in the pericycle, thereby fine-tuning the process of lateral root initiation.
