Project description:Arabidopsis Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips were used to compare the mRNA profiles of root tissues of the transgenic plants overexpressing 4D09 effector gene from the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and the wild-type (C24). Also, Arabidopsis Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips were used to compare the mRNA profiles of root tissues of the transgenic plants overexpressing 14-3-3Ɛ gene from Arabidopsis and the wild-type (Col-0). Wild-type (Arabidopsis thaliana, ecotypes C24 and Col-0 ), and the transgenic plants overexpressing 4D09 effector gene or overexpressing 14-3-3Ɛ gene from Arabidopsis were grown in vertical culture dishes on modified Knop’s medium for 2 weeks and then root tissues were collected for RNA extraction. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Tarek Hewezi.

Project description:Plant Topless-related 1 (TPR1), belonging to a family of transcriptional corepressors found across eukaryotes, contributes to immunity signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana and wild tobacco. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) of Arabidopsis TPR1-GFP expressing transgenic lines to characterize genome-wide TPR1-chromatin associations.
Project description:In this study, we developed transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana (AT1703) expressing double-stranded (ds)RNA to silence S. sclerotiorum ABHYDROLASE-3 and slow infection through host induced gene silencing (HIGS). Leaf infection assays show reduced S. sclerotiorum lesion size, fungal load, and ABHYDROLASE-3 transcript abundance in AT1703 lines compared to wild-type Col-0. To better understand how HIGS influences host-pathogen interactions, we performed global RNA sequencing on AT1703 and wild-type Col-0 lines directly at the site of S. sclerotiorum infection. Together, these results demonstrate the utility of HIGS technology in slowing S. sclerotiorum infection and provides insight into the role of ABHYDROLASE-3 gene activity in the A. thaliana – S. sclerotiorum pathosystem.
Project description:To determine the extent to which the major small RNA pathways functions across the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, small RNA populations from several tissues of wild-type (wt) and mutant plants were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced using high-throughput 454 sequencing technology. Keywords: small RNAs, high-throughput sequencing
Project description:The wild-type and sdg8 mutant Arabidopsis thaliana Histones were extracted from 15-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings,Histone peptides were digested with trypsin for QTRAP 6500 mass spectrometry (MS) analysis.
Project description:To study the genes regulated by transcription factor SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE7 (SPL7) in Arabidopsis thaliana, we conducted chromatin immunoprecipitation-based sequencing (ChIP-seq) in 35S:FALG-SPL7 transgenic plant and spl7 mutant, and genome-wide sequencing-based transcript profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type plants and of spl7 mutant under MS medium and MS supplement with 5µM CuSO4. These experiments led to the identification of genes that are direct target of SPL7 and genes differentially expressed in an SPL7-dependent or Cu-dependent manner. This study provides a framework for the identification of SPL7 regulated genes towards characterization of SPL7 in copper homeostasis.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare NGS-derived Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome profiling (RNA-Seq) obtained from tissues infected with a variety of Pseudomonas syryingae effector mutants to better understand their impact on their host's transcriptional program. We report the application of RNA-sequencing technology (Illumina Hi-Seq) for high-throughput profiling Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptomes upon infection with the model pathogen Pseudomonas syringae (wild-type and mutants).
Project description:Here we use bisulfite conversion of rRNA depleted RNA combined with high-throughput Illumina sequencing (RBS-seq) to identify single-nucleotide resolution of m5C sites transcriptome-wide in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. m5C sites were analyzed in wild type (WT) and an Arabidopsis T-DNA KO mutant for the RNA methyltransferase TRM4B.
