Project description:Comparison of low water potential (drought) regulated gene expression in wild type (Col-0) and egr1-1egr2-1 (At3g05640/At5g27930) mutant.
Project description:Purpose: In this study we investigated the role of JASMONATE RESISTANT 1 (JAR1) and JAR1 mediated JA-Ile formation in drought stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. Methods: Global transcriptional changes in a newly generated over-expression line (JAR1-OE; 35S::JAR1-1-YFP)), a T-DNA insertion line in the JAR1 locus (jar1-11;SALK_034543), and wild-type Col-0 were investigated by RNA-seq analyses of rosette leaves from 32 day-old plant that were either well-watered (control) or not watered after day 18 (drought). Plants were grown on soil under long-day conditions Results: Under control conditions, using a stringent cut-off (DESeq, adjusted to FDR < 0.01 and LogFC ≥ 1), we found only four differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between jar1-11 and Col-0, all of them downregulated. By contrast, we found 339 DEGs between JAR1-OE and Col-0, of which 134 were downregulated and 205 were upregulated. A comparison of the RNA-seq data from Col-0 between control and drought conditions revealed 3401 DEGs, of which 2023 were down- and 1378 upregulated. By comparison, jar1-11 plants, which were most heavily affected by drought stress, showed a much higher number (6139 in total; 2616 up- and 3523 down-regulated) of DEGs, while the more drought-tolerant JAR1-OE line displayed a lower number (2025 in total; 971 up- and 1054 down-regulated) of DEGs. 2411 DEGs were found between Col-0 and jar1-11 under drought among which 966 genes showed a higher and 1445 genes a lower expression level in jar1-11. On the other hand, out of 998 DEGs found between Col-0 and JAR1-OE under drought, 737 genes showed a higher and 261 genes a lower expression level in JAR1-OE. Moreover, we found 391 DEGs counter-regulated between jar1-11 and JAR1-OE. Conclusion:RNA-seq analysis and additional experiments of plants under control and drought stress conditions provided insight into the molecular reprogramming caused by the alteration in JA-Ile content.

Project description:We use metabolite profiles of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana measured on an UPLC-ESI/QqTOF-MS to evaluate uni- and multivariate statistical analysis of redundant features in compound spectra. Comparison was performed between the wild-type Col-0 and the 90.32 mutant. The mutant is a transposon based activation tagged A. th. line from the TAMARA population Schneider et al. [2005]. This particular mutant has an over-expression of the AT5G55880 - AT5G55890 genetic region with unknown function.
Project description:Nontargeted and targeted metabolomics measurements of abiotic stress responses in three-week-old Arabidopsis thaliana plants' rosette leaf tissue for Col-0 wild type plants and double/triple knockout mutants of aquaporins (pip2;1 pip2;2 and pip2;1 pip2;2 pip2;4) treated with drought, heat at different air humidities, or combined drought-heat stress at different air humidities. This experiment contains FT-ICR-MS measurements for 103 Arabidopsis thaliana rosette leaf samples covering three genotypes under six different environmental conditions. The three genotypes comprise the Col-0 wildtype and two loss-of-function mutants of aquaporins, a pip2;1 pip2;2 double mutant and a pip2;1 pip2;2 pip2;4 triple mutant (respective AGI locus identifiers: AT3G53420, AT2G37170, AT5G60660). The six conditions include control condition (well-watered, 22 °C, 70% relative air humidity), drought stress (one week without watering), heat stress without changing the absolute humidity of the ambient air (6 hours at 33 °C, 37% relative air humidity), heat stress with supplemented air humidity to maintain a constant vapor pressure deficit before and during the heat episode (6 hours at 33 °C, 84% relative air humidity), and the combinations of drought pretreatment with each of the two heat stress variants (one week of drought followed by 6 hours of heat stress). Samples from all conditions were harvested at the same time (within 15 min starting at 5 pm). For validation, GC-TOF-MS measurements were done for two genotypes (wildtype, double mutant) and two conditions (drought, control) on partially overlapping samples.
Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of autotetraploidy on gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana by comparing diploid versus tetraploid transcriptomes. In particular, this included the comparison of the transcriptome of different tetraploid A. thaliana ecotypes (Col-0 vs. Ler-0). The study was extended to address further aspects. One was the comparison of the transcriptomes in subsequent generations. This intended to obtain information on the genome wide stability of autotetraploid gene expression. Another line of work compared the transcriptomes of different diploid vs. tetraploid tissues. This aimed to investigate whether particular gene groups are specifically affected during the development of A. thaliana autotetraploids.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana cells contain different O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase (OASTL) enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of cysteine. Recently, we have deeply investigated about one of the minor OASTL-like protein located in the cytosol, named DES1, highlighting some important clues about its metabolic function. We have demonstrated that DES1 catalyzes the desulfuration of L-cysteine to sulfide plus ammonia and pyruvate, instead of the biosynthesis of Cys, and thus, is a novel L-cysteine desulfhydrase (EC 4.4.1.1). The functionality of DES1 is being revealed by the phenotype of the T-DNA insertion mutants des1-1 and des1-2. We have performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis on leaves of the des1-1 and Col-0 wild type plants grown for 30 days under long-day conditions. The normalized data from the replicates showed differential expression of 1614 genes in the des1-1 mutant, with 701 genes down-regulated and 913 genes up-regulated by more than twofold, with a False Discovery Rate (FDR) of < 0.05 and an intensity signal restriction of lgSignal >7. This des1-1 transcriptional profile show a strong alteration when compared to a previous comparative transcriptomic analysis performed on leaves of the des1-1 and Col-0 wild type plants grown for 20 days under identical long-day conditions (GSE 19244). We have also performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis on leaves of the des1-1 and Col-0 wild type plants grown for 20 days and treated with sodium sulfide for 10 additional days. The comparison of the transcriptional profile of des1-1+Na2S versus Col-0+Na2S clearly shows that exogenous sulfide reversed the transcriptional level differences between the mutant and the wild type to reach similar transcriptional patterns as the array GSE19244. Our results suggest a role of sulfide as transcriptional regulator in the des1-1 mutant background.
