Project description:The goal of this study is to clarify the function of ZmTE1 in auxin signal pathway and regulting cell cycle related genes. We isolated total RNA from the three nodes together with internodes of 28-day-old B73 and ZmTE1 seedlings. New genes act downstream of ZmTE1 at the nodes, are discovered.
Project description:The goal of this study is to clarify the function of ARF7 in the pathway of auxin inducing the process responding to gravity in hypocotyl. We isolated total RNA from the hypocotyls of 4-day-old Col-0 and arf7 seedlings that were grown in the darkness. New genes act downstream of ARF7 after responding to auxin treatment, responding to gravity, are discovered.
Project description:The goal of this study is to clarify the function of ARF7 in the pathway of auxin inducing lateral root development. We isolated total RNA from the roots of 8-day-old Col-0 and arf7 seedlings. New genes act downstream of ARF7 after responding to auxin treatment, during the lateral root formation, are discovered.
Project description:Maize earshoot is a metabolic sink espcially related to nitrogen metabolism. Studies on the transcriptomic and metabolic changes occuring in earshoot can provide interesting answers about the nitrogen metabolic potential of the maize variety under study. B73 X Mo17 is a model maize hybrid. Developing earshoots from this genotype grown at nitrogen-deficient and nitrogen-sufficient conditions were sampled, processed and analyzed through microarray technology.

Project description:Plants depend on the signalling of the phytohormone auxin for their development and for responding to environmental perturbations. The associated biomolecular signalling network involves a negative feedback on Aux/IAA proteins which mediate the influence of auxin (the signal) on the auxin response factor (ARF) transcription factors (the drivers of the response). To probe the role of this feedback, we consider alternative in silico signalling networks implementing different operating principles. By a comparative analysis, we find that the presence of a negative feedback allows the system to have a far larger sensitivity in its dynamical response to auxin and that this sensitivity does not prevent the system from being highly resilient. Given this insight, we build a new biomolecular signalling model for quantitatively describing such Aux/IAA and ARF responses.
