Journal ArticleDOI
Hairy root transformation using Agrobacterium rhizogenes as a tool for exploring cell type-specific gene expression and function using tomato as a model
Mily Ron,Kaisa Kajala,Germain Pauluzzi,Dongxue Wang,Mauricio Reynoso,Kristina Zumstein,Jasmine Garcha,Sonja Winte,Helen Masson,Soichi Inagaki,Fernán Federici,Neelima Sinha,Roger B. Deal,Julia Bailey-Serres,Siobhan M. Brady +14 more
TL;DR: Testing tomato gene expression with tagged nuclei and ribosomes and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing shows conservation of SHORT-ROOT gene function, and transcriptional reporters, translational reporters, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated nuclease9 genome edited demonstrate that SH short-roOT and SCARECROW gene function is conserved between Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and tomato.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profiling of Accessible Chromatin Regions across Multiple Plant Species and Cell Types Reveals Common Gene Regulatory Principles and New Control Modules.
Kelsey A. Maher,Marko Bajic,Kaisa Kajala,Mauricio Reynoso,Germain Pauluzzi,Donnelly A. West,Kristina Zumstein,Margaret R. Woodhouse,Kerry L. Bubb,Michael W. Dorrity,Christine Queitsch,Julia Bailey-Serres,Neelima Sinha,Siobhan M. Brady,Roger B. Deal +14 more
TL;DR: A comparison of open chromatin landscapes reveals commonalities in transcriptional regulation across species and identifies a transcription factor cascade in the Arabidopsis root hair, which appears to control both cell fate regulators and abiotic stress responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
De Novo Assembly and Characterization of the Transcriptome of the Parasitic Weed Dodder Identifies Genes Associated with Plant Parasitism
Aashish Ranjan,Yasunori Ichihashi,Moran Farhi,Kristina Zumstein,Brad T. Townsley,Rakefet David-Schwartz,Neelima Sinha +6 more
TL;DR: Transcriptional dynamics during parasitism in the parasitic weed Cuscuta pentagona reveals increased expression of genes encoding transporters and stimulus response regulators, and a decrease in the expression of photosynthetic proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
BrAD-seq: Breath Adapter Directional sequencing: a streamlined, ultra-simple and fast library preparation protocol for strand specific mRNA library construction.
TL;DR: A novel method for the production of strand specific RNA-seq libraries utilizing the terminal breathing of double-stranded cDNA to capture and incorporate a sequencing adapter, BrAD-seq is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary flexibility in flooding response circuitry in angiosperms

TL;DR: To understand variation in gene regulatory networks activated by submergence, a high-resolution analysis of chromatin accessibility and gene expression at three scales of transcript control in four angiosperms, ranging from a dryland-adapted wild species to a wetland crop, defined a cohort of conserved submergence-activated genes with signatures of overlapping cis regulation by four transcription factor families.
