Project description:Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is the development of embryo-like structures from somatic plant tissues. Recently, weve shown that transcription factor MtWOX9-1 belonging to WOX family is able to stimulate SE in the callus culture in Medicago truncatula. In this research, transcriptomic analysis of highly embryogenic calli with MtWOX9-1 overexpression was performed in comparison with wildtype calli. It was shown that MtWOX9-1 overexpression leads to the activation of several groups of genes, including genes related with cell division and tissue differentiation, and also with seed development. Enriched GO pathways included several groups related with histone methyltransferase activity as well as DNA methylation and chromatin binding, suggesting major epigenetic changes occuring in MtWOX9-1 overexpressing calli.
Project description:12plex_medicago_2013-08 - r108 permissive medium versus non permissive medium. - Two experiments to compare the transcriptomic response of medicago plants: Agar medium versus Phytagel medium (exp1) and rhizobium WT versus BacA (exp2). - Medicago truncatula R108 seedlings were inoculated with S. medicae WSM419 and were cultivated during three days on buffered nidulation medium solidified with Phytagel or Agar.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of seeds of Medicago truncatula during maturation. To identify genes that are regulated during seed maturation in the model legume Medicago truncatula, plants at flowering stage were grown at variable light and temperature conditions under greenhouse environment (period March-June). Seeds were then collected at different stages of development. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transcriptomic analysis was performed to follow the differential expression of genes during seed maturation.
Project description:ABI3 is a B3-domain transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of seed maturation. To identify genes that are regulated by this transcription factor in the model legume Medicago truncatula, Medicago hairy roots were generated using Agrobacterium rhizogenes transformed with the genomic sequence of the ABI3 gene of Medicago. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transciptomic analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes compared to the GUS expressed control.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of seeds of Medicago truncatula during maturation. To identify genes that are regulated during seed maturation in the model legume Medicago truncatula, plants at flowering stage were grown at controlled temperature of 21-19°C, 16h light. Seeds were then collected at different stages of development. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transcriptomic analysis was performed to follow the differential expression of genes during seed maturation.
Project description:HSFA9 (Medtr4g126070) is a seed-specific heat shock transcription factor that is upregulated during the later stages of seed maturation. To identify genes that are regulated by this transcription factor in the model legume Medicago truncatula, Medicago hairy roots were generated using Agrobacterium rhizogenes transformed with the genomic sequence of the genomic HSFA9 gene of Medicago. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transciptomic analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes compared to the GUS expressed control
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of seeds of Medicago truncatula during maturation. To identify genes that are regulated during seed maturation in the model legume Medicago truncatula, plants at flowering stage were grown at controlled temperature of 14/11°C, 16h light/dark. Seeds were then collected at different stages of development. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transcriptomic analysis was performed to follow the differential expression of genes during seed maturation.
Project description:Plant pathogenic bacteria disseminate and survive through transmission to and by seeds of hosts and non-hosts plants. To investigate the interaction between xanthomonads and developing seeds of Medicago truncatula, plants at the flower bud stage were spray inoculated until runoff with xanthomonads suspensions. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transcriptomic analysis was performed on seeds to characterize the molecular dialogue between Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris in an incompatible situation with M. truncatula seeds and Xanthomonas alfalfae pv. alfalfae in a compatible situation at two developmental time points (16 and 32 days atfter pollination (DAP).
Project description:12plex_medicago_2013-08 - r108 in symbiosis with rhizobia wt or rhizobia mutant for baca. - Two experiments to compare the transcriptomic response of medicago plants: Agar medium versus Phytagel medium (exp1) and rhizobium WT versus BacA (exp2). - Medicago truncatula ecotype R108 was inoculated with the symbiotic rhizobium Sinorhizobium meliloti strain Sm1021 and with its derivative mutant delta bacA. Nodules were collected 13 days after inoculation, and RNA were prepared for transcriptome analysis, there were three biological independant experiements.
