Project description:The expression levels of Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) genes in several developmental stages during the seed-to-seedling transition were measured by using high-density Affymetrix® arrays (Aragene.st1.1). We used a time-series of microarrays to gain temporal resolution and identify relevant genes in the seed-to-seedling transition.
Project description:We analysed the translatome and transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 WT at five distinct physiological states during seed germination. The aim was to obtain a global overview of genes under translational control during seed-seedling transition.
Project description:Untargeted metabolomic analyses were carried out on seed coat/endosperm and seed embryo (dry seeds) of Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia-0 genotype. Three biological replicates were analyzed for each sample.
Project description:We produced RNA-Seq reads from messenger RNA isolated from seedling, root, and floral bud tissue for 17 MAGIC founder accessions (inbred strains) of Arabidopsis thaliana (see Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23 for a description of the MAGIC genetic mapping resource). The resulting RNA-Seq data provide a resource to assess tissue-specific expression across different accessions of A. thaliana. Note that comparable read data for accessions Col-0 and Can-0, which are also founders of the MAGIC lines, has previously been released under GEO series GSE30795 (Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23).
Project description:DNA methylation in wild type bolting plants, wild type seedlings, and ddm1 seedlings. The purpose of the McrBC methylation microarray assay is to determine which regions of a genome are methylated versus those that are unmethylated in a single Arabidopsis thanliana genotype. McrBC is a methylation-sensitive enzyme that restricts DNA only at purine-Cmethyl half sites when separated between 50bp and 3kb. A designated amount of DNA from a particular genotype is sheared to a size range of 1kb-10kb using nebulization. We restrict half of the nebulized DNA with McrBC, and the methylated fraction is then removed from the unmethylated fraction through gel purification of DNA fragments greater than 1kb.* The remaining nebulized DNA is subjected to the same gel purification scheme, but with no McrBC treatment. In a single hybridization, the untreated sample is labeled with Cy5 and the McrBC-treated sample with Cy3. Thus, after labeling and microarray hybridization, the ratio of normalized Cy5 to normalized Cy3 represents the relative methylation at the sequence represented by the spot on the microarray. Dye swap analysis is carried out to take account of experimental variation by repeating the hybridization with identical samples labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively.
