Project description:For identification of plant gene networks which interact to initiate and support both rhizobial nodulation and AM fungal colonization, the transcription profiles of soybean genes induced during rhizobial, AM and their dual symbioses.
Project description:we compared changes in the transcriptome and the translatome of M. truncatula roots upon rhizobial infection using direct RNA-seq and Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) combined with RNA-seq (TRAP-seq), respectively. TRAP is a ribosome immunopurification approach that has been extensively used in plants and mammals to assess translational changes
Project description:The extend of chromatin accessibility changes and its consequent impact on the transcriptional control of rhizobial infection, colonization, and nodule development, remain unknown. This understanding requires that the dynamic behavior of gene expression and chromatin accessibility be quantified. Thus, we uncovered the gene regulatory network in response to LCOs in M. truncatula roots by quantifying temporal changes in the transcriptome (RNA-seq) and genome-wide chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) after Sinorhizobium meliloti LCO treatment.
Project description:We have undertaken a detailed study to identify mechanisms regulating expression of NCRs. We used a custom Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarray to examine the expression changes of 566 NCRs in different stages of nodule development. Additionally, rhizobial mutants were used to understand the importance of the rhizobial components in induction of NCRs. Early NCRs were detected during the initial infection of rhizobia in nodules and continue to be expressed into the late stages of nodule development. Late NCRs were induced concomittant with bacteroid development in the nodules. The induction of these groups of genes was correlated with the number and morphology of rhizobia in the nodule.
Project description:We treated Populus tremula x alba roots with rhizobial LCOs. We analyzed gene expression by RNA sequencing at seven time-points: 0 hr (control treatment), 15, 30 min, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24 hours over the following 24 hours.
