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:Differentially regulated genes in rosette leaves and roots of hydroponically grown Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and nrt1.5-5 mutant plants were identified by microarray analyses.
Project description:Chromatin and RNA were extracted from young A. thaliana Col-0 rosette leaves. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments were performed using commercially available antibodies and analyzed by Illumina sequencing (ChIP-seq). Transcriptome data were generated by RNA-seq.
Project description:A label-free proteomics dataset from our investigation of the interplay of constitutive gene-body CpG methylation (gbM), tRNA abundance and codon composition on mRNA and protein expression, in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We performed genomic profiling in rosette leaves of two Arabidopsis accessions, Col-0 and Can-0, and re-assembled and re-annotated their genomes using long reads. We measured gene and protein expression levels in multiple biological replicates grown in a constant environment, also measuring ribosome-associated transcript levels and tRNA abundance. We fitted models to explain variation in gbM, tRNA, gene and protein expression in the paper.
Project description:SLIM1 has a well established role in regulating transcriptional responses to sulfur deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to investigate the impact of SLIM1 expression under sufficient nutrient conditions, we generated 35S::SLIM1 over-expression lines. SLIM1OX plants were found to have larger rosette area, bolt earlier, and enter developmental senescence earlier than Col-0 and slim1KO (slim1-cr) plants. RNA-seq followed by differential expression analysis was performed on rosette tissue at three timepoints.
Project description:We used N-(1-naphthyl) phthalamic acid (NPA)-induced vascular overgrowth in Arabidopsis leaves to look for differential up-regulation of genes in NPA-treated tissues that may be involved in vascular differentiation. Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 plants were grown for approximately 2 weeks on solid ATS medium (1) containing a final concentration of 10 um NPA (dissolved in DMSO) or an equivalent volume of DMSO (control). At this stage plants had approximately 6 rosette leaves. RNA was prepared from entire shoot tissues of control (DMSO) or NPA-treated plants.(1) Lincoln et al., 1990. Plant Cell 2: 1071-1080.
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata are two closely related Brassicaceae species, which are used as models for plant comparative biology. They differ by lifestyle, predominant mating strategy, ecological niches and genome organization. To identify heat stress induced genes, we performed RNA-sequencing of rosette leaves from mock-treated, heat-stressed and heat-stressed-recoved plants of both species. Analysis of genetic element transcriptional changes in response to 6 hours of 37°C heat stress and 48 hours of recovery in Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and Arabidopsis lyrata MN47.
Project description:au09-03_gamma-irradiation - 2 doses of ionising radiations (x-rays) - Metabolic pathways involved in the response of plants to ionising radiation treatment. - Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) seeds were grown in Petri dishes under sterile conditions until they had 2-rosette-leaves (on average 10 days). Then they received a dose of 10 or 40 gray of X-ray (Faxitron HP). Plant were harvested 2 and 26 hours after irradiation, immediatly frozen and stored at -80°C until RNA extraction (Rneasy plant mini Kit, Qiagen) . Experiment was carried in duplicates and a non irradiated control was done for each time.
