Project description:To examine differential effect of the mutation of Arabidopsis TGA7 on the gene expressions, we performed microarray analysis using the shoots or the root of wild-type and tga7 mutant.
Project description:Regulation of genes in shoots and roots and Arabidopsis in response to Zn-deficiency in wild-type and hma2 hma4 mutants plants We used microarrays to determine co-regulated genes in the roots of Zn deficient wild-type plants with hma2 hma4 plants from control conditions. These co-regulated genes are candidates for regulation by a systemic signal
Project description:Using a dedicated split-root approach, we identified miRNAs regulated systemically by nitrogen availability in both shoots and roots of the Medicago truncatula model legume, depending on the CRA2 pathway, highlighting the phosphate-related miR399.
Project description:This study aims to identify genes which are differentially expressed in root and/or shoot material in response to exogenous cytokinin. Roots and shoots were collected separately.
Project description:Gene expression profiles of drought-stressed roots and shoots was performed at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 days were analyzed using the custom microarray Agilent-034592.
Project description:IRT1 is the root high-affinity Fe uptake system. Despite severe Fe deficiency symptoms and reduced Fe levels in the shoots of irt1 mutants, we find that root Fe concentrations are higher in the irt1-2 mutant than in the wild type, unexpectedly. The goal of this experiment was to identify candidate transcripts contributing to the observed alteration in root-to-shoot Fe partitioning of irt1. We analysed gene expression in shoots and roots of the wild type grown under control conditions, the wild type exposed to severe Fe deficiency for 5 d, as well as of the irt1-2 (pam42) mutant grown under control conditions.
Project description:Purpose: To investigate the expression profiles of genes regulated by bHLH6, we performed RNA-seq analysis using bHLH6 OV, spx4, and wild type treated with high and low P Methods: Roots and shoots mRNA profiles of 7-day-old bHLH6 OV, spx4, and wild-type (WT) rice seedlings treated with 200 μM or 10 μM Pi for 2 weeks three biological replicates were generated by deep sequencing using the NEBNext® UltraTM RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® (NEB, USA). The mapped reads of each sample were assembled by Hisat2 (v2.0.5). qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Results: RNA-seq data confirmed that in shoots, 4,694 genes were upregulated and 4,126 were downregulated in bHLH6 OV lines compared with wild type under high-P conditions.Among the differentially expressed genes, 1,805 (38.5%) were upregulated in wild type under low-P conditions, whereas 1,598 (38.7%) of the downregulated genes were downregulated in wild type under low-P conditions, suggesting that bHLH6 overexpression upregulates a subset of PSI genes. In total, 971 genes were upregulated and 853 genes were downregulated in spx4 compared to wild type in high-P conditions. Among these upregulated genes, 371 (38.2%) were also upregulated in shoots of bHLH6 OV plants compared to in wild type; 456 (53.4%) of the downregulated genes were also downregulated in shoots of bHLH6 OV compared with wild type. In roots, 311 (10.5%) out of the 2,969 upregulated genes in bHLH6 OV lines under high-P conditions were also upregulated in wild type under low-P conditions; 501 (19.1%) out of the 2,628 downregulated genes in bHLH6 OV were also downregulated in wild type under low-P conditions. However, 313 (60.2%) out of the 520 genes upregulated in spx4 in roots were also upregulated in bHLH6 OV lines compared to in wild type, whereas 497 (54.6%) out of 910 the downregulated genes were also downregulated in bHLH6 OV compared to in wild type. To validate the RNA-seq results, we selected the upregulated PT and PAP (PURPLE ACID PHOSPHATASE) genes for expression analysis using RT-qPCR. The expression levels of PT2, PT10, PAP10a, and PAP21b were considerably higher in roots of bHLH6 OV plants than in those of wild type and bhlh6 mutants, whereas the expression of SPX2 was much lower in bHLH6 OV plants than in wild type Conclusion: our study is the first to analyze in detail the bHLH6 transcriptome produced by rna-seq technology and perform biological replication. Our results suggest that bHLH6 mediates the regulation of Pi homeostasis by SPX4. Our results advance the current understanding of the Pi-signaling regulatory network and will potentially contribute to the genetic improvement of crop P efficiency.
Project description:To dissect differences in gene expression profile of soybean roots inoculated with wild-type and type III secretion mutant rhizobia, we have employed microarray analysis. Seeds of soybeans (Glycine max L. cv. Enrei and its non-nodulating line En1282) were surface-sterilized and germinated at 25 °C for 2 days and were transferred to a plant box (CUL-JAR300; Iwaki, Tokyo, Japan) containing sterile vermiculite watered with B&D nitrogen-free medium (Broughton and Dilworth 1971). One day after transplant, each seedling was inoculated with Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA61, its type III secretion mutant BerhcJ or sterilized water (mock treatment). Plants were cultivated in a growth chamber at 25°C and 70% humidity with a daytime of 16 h followed by a nighttime of 8 h. To determine the gene expression, RNA was extracted from the roots 8 days after inoculation.
