Project description:tri38-lar - lar - Analyse the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana plants developing localized acquired resistance (LAR) and a hypersensitive response (HR). The goal is to identify genes inducing LAR and/or HR. Plants were treated either with PstDC3000 (avrRpm1)or MgCl2 (control plants). The samples were studied at 3 points of the infection kinetics of the LAR phenomenon: 6h, 24h and 48h. Keywords: normal vs disease comparison

Project description:tri38-lar - hr - Analyse the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana plants developing localized acquired resistance (LAR) and a hypersensitive response (HR). The goal is to identify genes inducing LAR and/or HR. Here, we want to analyse the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana developing HR. To achieve this, we used Col0 leaf tissues developing an HR reaction after inoculation of the avirulent strain of PstDC3000 carrying the gene avrRpm1. Keywords: normal vs disease comparison

Project description:We show that the catalytic a subunits KIN10 and KIN11 of the Arabidopsis thaliana SnRK1 complex interact with the STOREKEEPER RELATED 1/G-element Binding Protein (STKR1) inside the plant cell nucleus. Overexpression of STKR1 in transgenic Arabidopsis plants led to reduced growth, a delay in flowering and strongly attenuated senescence. At the global transcriptome level, genes affected by STKR1 overexpression were broadly associated with systemic acquired resistance and transgenic plants showed enhanced resistance towards a virulent strain of the biotrophic oomycete pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis Noco2.
Project description:Plants have developed a complicated resistance system, and they exhibit various defense patterns in response to different attackers. However, the determine factors of plant defense patterns are still not clear. Here, we hypothesized that damage patterns of plant attackers play an important role in determining the plant defense patterns. To test this hypothesis, we selected leafminer, which has a special feeding pattern more similar to pathogen damage than chewing insects, as our model insect, and Arabidopsis thaliana as the response plants. The local and systemic responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to leafminer feeding were investigated using the Affymetrix ATH1 genome array.
Project description:Plants are exposed to regular diurnal rhythms of light and dark. Changes in the photoperiod by the prolongation of the light period cause photoperiod stress in short day-adapted Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we report on the transcriptional response to photoperiod stress of wild-type A. thaliana and photoperiod stress-sensitive cytokinin signaling and clock mutants. Transcriptomic changes induced by photoperiod stress included numerous changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related transcripts and showed a strong overlap with alterations occurring in response to ozone stress and pathogen attack, which have in common the induction of an apoplastic oxidative burst. A core set of photoperiod stress-responsive genes has been identified, including salicylic acid (SA)-biosynthesis and -signaling genes. Genetic analysis revealed a central role for NPR1 in the photoperiod stress response as npr1-1 mutants were stress-insensitive. Photoperiod stress treatment led to a strong increase in camalexin levels which is also observed in response to pathogen infections. Photoperiod stress induced the resistance of Arabidopsis plants to a subsequent infection by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 indicating priming of the defence response. Together, photoperiod stress causes transcriptional reprogramming resembling plant pathogen defence responses and induces systemic acquired resistance in the absence of a pathogen.
