View SamplesUnderstanding how the expression of transcription factor (TF) genes is modulated is essential for reconstructing gene regulatory networks. There is increasing evidence that sequences other than upstream noncoding can contribute to modulating gene expression, but how frequently they do so remains unclear. Here, we investigated the regulation of TFs expressed in a tissue-enriched manner in Arabidopsis roots. For 61 TFs, we created GFP reporter constructs driven by each TF's upstream noncoding sequence (including the 5'UTR) fused to the GFP reporter gene alone or together with the TF's coding sequence. We compared the visually detectable GFP patterns with endogenous mRNA expression patterns, as defined by a genome-wide microarray root expression map.

View SamplesPericycle specific transcriptional profiles were generated by FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting) of roots that express a pericycle-specific GFP-reporter. FACS cell populations were isolated from roots grown under standard conditions or roots that had been transferred to -Fe media for 24 hours.

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 used. FACS cell populations were isolated from roots grown under standard pH (pH 5.7) or roots that had been transfered to low pH (pH 4.6) media for 24 hours.

View SamplesIn plants, apical meristems allow continuous growth along the body axis. Within the root apical meristem (RAM), a group of slowly dividing quiescent center (QC) cells is thought to limit stem cell activity to directly neighboring cells (Cowels, 1956; van den Berg et al., 1997), thus endowing them with unique properties, distinct from displaced daughters. This binary identity of the stem cells stands in apparent contradiction with the more gradual changes in cell division potential (Bennett and Scheres, 2010) and differentiation (Yamaguchi et al., 2008; 2010; Furuta et al, 2014; Geldner, 2013; Masucci et al., 1996; Dolan and Costa, 2001) that occur as cells move further away from the QC. To address this paradox and to infer molecular organization of the root meristem, we used a whole-genome approach to determine dominant transcriptional patterns along root ontogeny zones. We found that the prevalent patterns are expressed in two opposing gradients. One is characterized by genes associated with development, the other enriched in differentiation genes. We confirmed these transcript gradients, and demonstrate that these translate to gradients in protein accumulation and gradual changes in cellular properties. We also show that gradients are genetically controlled through multiple pathways. Based on these findings, we propose that cells in the Arabidopsis root meristem gradually transition from 'stemness' towards differentiation. Overall design: This study contains high-resolution datasets from cell populations from the enitre root meristem and xylem-specific cell populations. Using fluorescence activated cell sorting, three cell populations were isolated based on their GFP expression intensity. Two-Three replicates were used per sample
