Project description:CHL1 is one of major nitrate transporters responsible for nitrate uptake and some studies suggest that it may be also play a role in regulating the nitrate response, its influence was analyzed in a global transcriptome study using Affymetrix ATH1 array. Experiment Overall Design: Three biological replicates of 10-day-old Arabidopsis root tissue from wild-type and chl1-5 plants were performed to explore differences in gene expression between the wild-type and chl1-5 mutants exposed to 25 mM nitrate for 0h (T0) or 0.5h (T0.5) using Affymetrix ATH1 microarray.
Project description:CHL1 functions as a nitrate sensor and also is one of major nitrate transporters responsible for nitrate responses and uptake. ANI is a protein phosphatase particiates in temporal nitrate response, its influence was analyzed in a global transcriptome study using Affymetrix ATH1 array. Two biological replicates of 10-day-old Arabidopsis root tissue from wild-type and ani1 plants were performed to explore differences in gene expression between the wild-type and ani1 mutants exposed to 200 μM nitrate for 0h (T0), 0.5h (T0.5), or 16h (T16) using Affymetrix ATH1 microarray.
Project description:A time-course transcriptomic study was performed on mature nodules of Lotus japonicus MG-20 at 4 weeks post-inoculation (wpi) with Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099. Plants were exposed to 10 mM KNO3 for six days and then nitrate was removed for five more days.
Project description:In this project a proteomic comparative analysis was used to analyse the changes induced by different nitrate availability in roots of M4 grapevine rootstock. Plants, previously adapted to hydroponic condition, were grown for 5 weeks, afterwards nitrogen was removed from the growing medium for eight days to obtain N-starved plants. After this period, the analysis compared plants maintained in absence of nitrogen with plants exposed to 10 mM nitrate for 30 hours.
Project description:ra05-12_nar2 - atnar2.1-1 - Does the ko of AtNAR2.1 leads to a differential expression in comparison to the WT when grown under high nitrate condition and transfered onto low nitrate concentration? - Plants were grown for 41 days in hydroponics in media containing 6 mM nitrate and then transferred to 6 or 0.2 mM nitrate media for 24h ( short days, irradiation 150 uE). Plants were harvested on day 42 during the first 2 hours of light. Keywords: dose response,gene knock out
Project description:Freshly harvested Arabidopsis seeds (ecotype Col0 obtained under 10 mM nitrate nutrition, referred to as C10) are dormant and do not germinate when sown on an agarose-based medium. This experiment was performed to analyze the genes that are differentially expressed in freshly harvested C10 seeds sown on agarose (dormant) versus freshly harvested C10 dry seeds (dormant) to analyze differential expression of genes during the first 6 hrs of imbibition of dormant seeds. Reference: Alboresi et al. Plant Cell Environ (2005) 28 : 500-512 - 16 DAP siliques were harvested from Col 0 plants grown on 10 or 50 mM nitrate or from G4 3 mutant grown on 10 mM nitrate in growth chambers. Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison
Project description:NRT1.1 is a nitrate transceptor involved in many nitrate responses including the regulation of gene expression through (i) the Primary Nitrate Response (PNR) and (ii) the regulation the NRT2.1 gene under continuous high NH4NO3 conditions. Phosphorylation of NRT1.1’s T101 residue is involved in the modulation of the PNR whereas nitrate transport by NRT1.1 is not. Here we used various NRT1.1 point mutants to study the impact of NRT1.1 on the whole transcriptome under high NH4NO3 supply. Col is the WT control, chl1-5 and chl1-12 are KO mutants, chl1-9 is defective in nitrate transport but not in PNR induction, T101D and T101A mimick the phosphorylated and not phosphorylated forms of NRT1.1 respectively.
Project description:We measured the transcriptome changes in 10-day-old seedlings exposed to Mock and 25% PEG8000 treatment to investigate the differentially regulated genes by ENAP1/2 in response to dehydration
Project description:To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the increased growth of Col-0:MtNPF1.7 CE plants compared to WT, leaves from plants grown for 21 days on defined media were subjected to transcript profiling using the Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 microarray. We tested gene expression from plants grown at 0.1 mM nitrate and at 10 mM nitrate. The 0.1 mM nitrate concentration is below MtNPF1.7’s Km and at that nitrate concentration, large growth differences between Col-0:MtNPF1.7 CE and wild-type Col-0 plants were observed, while 10 mM nitrate is well above MtNPF1.7’s Km, where fewer differences in growth were seen. Three independent biological replicates were collected.
Project description:Controlled hypobaria presents biology with an environment that is never encountered in terrestrial ecology, yet the apparent components of hypobaria are stresses typical of terrestrial ecosystems. High altitude, for example, presents terrestrial hypobaria always with hypoxia as a component stress, since the relative partial pressure of O2 is constant in the atmosphere. Laboratory-controlled hypobaria, however, allows the dissection of pressure effects away from the effects typically associated with altitude, in particular hypoxia, as the partial pressure of O2 can be varied. In this study, whole transcriptomes of plants grown in ambient (97 kPa/pO2 = 21 kPa) atmospheric conditions were compared to those of plants transferred to five different atmospheres of varying pressure and oxygen composition for 24 h: 50 kPa/pO2 = 10 kPa, 25 kPa/pO2 = 5 kPa, 50 kPa/pO2 = 21 kPa, 25 kPa/pO2 = 21 kPa, or 97 kPa/pO2 = 5 kPa. The plants exposed to these environments were 10 day old Arabidopsis seedlings grown vertically on hydrated nutrient plates. In addition, 5 day old plants were also exposed for 24 h to the 50 kPa and ambient environments to evaluate age-dependent responses. The gene expression profiles from roots and shoots showed that the hypobaric response contained more complex gene regulation than simple hypoxia, and that adding back oxygen to normoxic conditions did not completely alleviate gene expression changes in hypobaric responses.
