View SamplesBackground: Over application of phosphate fertilizers in modern agriculture contaminates waterways and disrupts natural ecosystems. Nevertheless, this is a common practice among farmers, especially in developing countries as abundant fertilizers are believed to boost crop yields. The study of plant phosphate metabolism and its underlying genetic pathways is key to discovering methods of efficient fertilizer usage. The work presented here describes the first genome-wide resource on the molecular dynamics underpinning the response and recovery in roots and shoots of Arabidopsis thaliana to phosphate-starvation. Results: Genome-wide profiling revealed minimal overlap between root and shoot transcriptomes suggesting two independent phosphate-starvation regulons. Novel gene expression patterns were detected for over 1000 candidates and were classified as either initial, persistent, or latent responders. Comparative analysis to AtGenExpress identified novel cohorts of genes co-regulated across multiple stimuli. The hormone ABA displayed a dominant role in regulating many phosphate-responsive candidates. Analysis of co-regulation enabled the determination of primary versus redundant members of closely related gene families with respect to phosphate-starvation. Thus, among others, we show that PHO1 acts in shoot, whereas PHO1;H1 is likely the primary regulator in root. Conclusion: Our results uncover a much larger, staged responses to phosphate-starvation than previously described. To our knowledge, this work describes the highest resolution of genome-wide data on plant nutrient stress to date.

View SamplesThe functions of miRNAs and their target mRNAs in Arabidopsis development have been widely documented, however, roles of stress responsive miRNAs and their targets are not as well understood. Using small RNA deep sequencing and ATH1 microarrays to profile mRNAs, we identified IAR3 (IAA-Ala Resistant 3) as a novel target of miR167a.

View SamplesIn this study the transcriptomes of 2cm-long primary roots (without apical 5mm) of wildtype and rum1 mutant seedlings were compared to identify genes directly or indirectly regulated by RUM1. Besides the RUM1-dependent gene network, novel functions of RUM1 were revealed.

View SamplesIn this study RNA-sequencing was used to monitor gene expression changes in stele tissue of maize (Zea mays L.) shoot-borne roots in response to local high nitrate stimulation to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying nitrate signal and lateral root development.
