The root epidermis of Arabidopsis provides a simple and experimentally useful model for studying the molecular basis of cell fate and differentiation. The goal of this study was to define the transcript changes in the root epidermis of mutants associated with root epidermis cell specification, including mutants that lack a visible phenotypic alteration (try, egl3, myb23, and ttg2). Transcript levels were assessed by purifying populations of root epidermal cells using fluorescence-based cell-sorting with the WER::GFP transgene. These microarray results were used to compare the effects of single and double mutants on the gene regulatory network that controls root epidermal cell fate and differentiation in Arabidopsis.

Cell identity mediates the response of Arabidopsis roots to abiotic stress.
No sample metadata fields
View SamplesCell-type specific transcriptional profiles were generated by FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting) sorting of roots that express cell-type specific GFP-reporters. Six different GFP-reporter lines were utilized allowing us to obtain transcriptional profiles for cells in all radial zones of the root. FACS cell populations were isolated from roots grown under standard conditions or roots that had been transfered to media supplemented with 140 mM NaCl for 1 hour.

View SamplesTo gain a genome-scale understanding of the role that developmental processes play in regulating stimulus response, we examined the effect of salt stress on gene expression along the longitudinal axis of the root. Since roots grow from stem cells located near the tip, the position of cells along the longitudinal axis can be used as a proxy for developmental time, with distance from the root tip correlating with increased differentiation. To estimate the role developmental stage plays in regulating salt response, roots were dissected into four longitudinal zones (LZ data set) after transfer to standard or salt media and transcriptionally profiled.

View SamplesCell-type specific transcriptional profiles were generated by FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting) sorting of roots that express cell-type specific GFP-reporters. Five different GFP-reporter lines were utilized allowing us to obtain transcriptional profiles for cells in all radial zones of the root. FACS cell populations were isolated from roots grown under standard conditions or roots that had been transfered to -Fe media for 24 hours.

View SamplesIn order to estimate the effects of protoplasting and FACS sorting procedures on -Fe regulated gene expression we generated expression profiles for whole roots that had been treated with -Fe for 24 hours and for roots that were protoplasted and FACS sorted after the initial 24 hour -Fe treatment.
