Conclusion: This study suggested the Populus circuit displays enhanced selfperpetuation mechanisms by positive feedback regulation by transcription factor auto regulation and/or multicomponent loops. Such mechanism would result in enhanced expression of woodbiosynthesis target genes in Populus. Comparison of transcriptional circuits in wood formation in Populus and Arabidopsis Prashanth Tamizhselvan Supervisor :Ines Ezcurra IFM Biology Linkoping university Linkoping, Sweden Contact Information Prashanth Tamizhselvan Linkoping University [email protected] Acknowledgements Many thanks to my supervisor Ines Ezcurra and examiner Johan Edqvist for all their support and guidance Final Thesis 2011 International Master Programme Molecular Genetics and Physiology Introduction: : Examination of Methods: The promoters of cis-regions of TF regulatory network inducing secondary cell wall formation in Populus woody model plant, and in Arabidopsis, a nonwoody model may be a fruitful approach to understanding mechanisms of wood formation. The wood-forming transcription factor network involves upstream NACdomain master regulators called VND7, NST1 and SND1, an intermediate regulator, MYB46, as well as downstream direct activators of cell wall biosynthesis genes. A class of CA rich regulatory elements named ACI and ACII are called as AC element that mediates transactivation of secondary cell wall biosynthesis. MYB46 and of the NAC domain transcription factors VND7 and NST1 will be isolated by PCR amplification from Populus and Arabidopsis genomic DNA. The promoters which are isolated from MYB46 and NAC domain transcription factor are cloned by using overlap extension PCR. Agroinfiltration are done into the leaves of N.benthamiana at the rate of 2 leaves. Therefore, 24 leaves are injected totally which are taken from 7 different plants. Aim: The objective of the project is to characterize and compare the gene regulatory networks regulating wood formation in Populus and Arabidopsis. Transactivation analysis showing that PttMYB021 able to transactivate the six reporter genes. The promoters MYB46, NST1 and VND7 showing activity. Results: The transcription factor’s self and mutual transactivation is analysed. From the results it showed that the ACTYPE element will mediate the transactivation of MYB46 with the promoters which helps in the wood formation in Populus but in Arabidopsis ACTYP element is not present so that results in a nonwoody species. Transactivation analysis showing that PttMYB021 able to transactivate itself.
