Project description:A new genome of Fraxinus excelsior was assembled using a hybrid approach combining Nanopore and Illumina data (BioProject PRJNA865134, SAMN30100368, genome JANJPF000000000 ). Methylation was also assessed in the genome.

Project description:We used high-throughput sequencing to identify conserved and nonconserved miRNAs and other short RNAs in Typha angustifolia under control and cadmium stressed condition. A total of 114 conserved miRNAs and 41 novel candidate miRNAs encoded by 66 hairpin precursors were identified in both small RNA libraries. 4 conserved and 6 novel miRNAs showed specific expression, which, combined with function of target genes, suggests that miRNAs may play a role in plant Cd stress response.These results provide a framework for further analysis of miRNAs and their role in regulating Typha angustifolia response to cadmium stress.

Project description:The transcriptional coactivator ANGUSTIFOLIA 3 (AN3) stimulates cell proliferation during Arabidopsis leaf development, but the molecular mechanism is largely unknown. We show here that inducible nuclear localization of AN3 during initial leaf growth results in differential expression of important transcriptional regulators, including GROWTH REGULATING FACTORs (GRFs). Chromatin purification further revealed the presence of AN3 at the loci of GRF5, GRF6, CYTOKININ RESPONSE FACTOR 2 (CRF2), CONSTANS-LIKE 5 (COL5), HECATE 1 (HEC1), and ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATOR 4 (ARR4). Tandem affinity purification of protein complexes using AN3 as bait identified plant SWITCH/SUCROSE NONFERMENTING (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes formed around the ATPases BRAHMA (BRM) or SPLAYED (SYD). Moreover, SWI/SNF ASSOCIATED PROTEIN 73B (SWP73B) is recruited by AN3 to the promoter of GRF5, GRF3, COL5, and ARR4, and both SWP73B and BRM occupy the HEC1 promoter. Furthermore, we show that AN3 and BRM genetically interact. The data indicate that AN3 associates with chromatin remodelers to regulate transcription. In addition, modification of SWI3C expression levels increases leaf size, underlining the importance of chromatin dynamics for growth regulation. Our results place the SWI/SNF-AN3 module as a major player at the transition from cell proliferation to cell differentiation in a developing leaf.
