Conclusions
• Ploidy affects plant growth rates and cell size
• Gene families that change with ploidy
– Ribosomal protein genes, histones, cyclins
• Important for “cellular infrastructure”
• “Ploidy genes” are context-dependent
• Autopolyploid vs. Allopolyploid
– We find much more subtle expression changes in
autopolyploids than in allopolyploids
RB-Associated Gene Expression
10 arrays were completed in 2005 to test the timing of transcriptome
changes after late blight inoculation
24 arrays completed in the last three weeks for final profiling
“Super-resistant” transgenic RB clone
The late blight resistance phenotypes of two transgenic Katahdin lines under an intensive
inoculation conditions. Left Panel: Left: A transgenic Katahdin clone containing a single
copy of the RB gene; Middle: S. bulbocastanum clone PT29; Right: Katahdin control. The
transgenic Katahdin plant, which is resistant to late blight under regular inoculation
condition, shows a susceptible phenotype. Right Panel: Left: A transgenic Katahdin clone
containing multiple copies of the RB gene; Middle: S. bulbocastanum clone PT29; Right:
Katahdin control. In Southern hybridization, DNA from the transgenic plants was cut with
HindIII (left lane) and EcoR1 (right lane) and hybridized with a vector probe
Schematic of RNA pooling and
microarray hybridization: Four identical
plants from each of the three Katahdin plants
(control Katahdin, Katahdin containing one RB
gene, Katahdin containing multiple copies of
RB gene) are sampled under each of the three
time points (2, 5, and 10 hours after
inoculation). Eight RNA samples will be
isolated from these four plants. Challenged
and unchallenged RNA samples from two
plants will be pooled, amplified and labeled.
The challenged aRNA from the first pair of
plants is labeled with Cy5 and the
unchallenged aRNA labeled with Cy3.
Alternately, the challenged aRNA in the
second pair of plants is labeled with Cy3 and
the unchallenged with Cy5. Both labeled
samples are mixed from each pair of plants
and hybridized to the array. This procedure
creates a dye-swap with two biological
replicates.
(A) Filtered data from Preliminary Array Experiment 1 is shown colored by the normalized
intensity ratio (log transformed) along the vertical axis. The horizontal axis represents gene
expression occurring 5, 15 and 25 hours post inoculation. (B) Filtered data from Preliminary
Array Experiment 2 is shown colored by the normalized intensity ratio (log transformed)
along the vertical axis. The horizontal axis represents gene expression occurring 2, 5 and 10
hours post inoculation
