View SamplesBrassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting plant hormones that play a role in abiotic stress responses, but molecular modes that enable this activity remain largely unknown. Here we show that BRs participate in the regulation of freezing tolerance. BR signaling-defective mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana were hypersensitive to freezing before and after cold acclimation. The constitutive activation of BR signaling, in contrast, enhanced freezing resistance. Evidence is provided that the BR-controlled basic helixloophelix transcription factor CESTA (CES) can contribute to the constitutive expression of the C-REPEAT/DEHYDRATION-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING FACTOR (CBF) transcriptional regulators that control cold responsive (COR) gene expression. In addition, CBF-independent classes of BR-regulated COR genes are identified that are regulated in a BR- and CES-dependent manner during cold acclimation. A model is presented in which BRs govern different cold-responsive transcriptional cascades through the posttranslational modification of CES and redundantly acting factors. This contributes to the basal resistance against freezing stress, but also to the further improvement of this resistance through cold acclimation.
Brassinosteroids participate in the control of basal and acquired freezing tolerance of plants.

View SamplesCurrent pipelines used to map genetrap insertion sites are based on inverse- or splinkerette-PCR methods, which despite their efficacy are prone to artifacts and do not provide information on the impact of the genetrap on the expression of the targeted gene. We developed a new method, which we named TrapSeq, for the mapping of genetrap insertions based on paired-end RNA sequencing. By recognizing chimeric mRNAs containing genetrap sequences spliced to an endogenous exon, our method identifies insertions that lead to productive trapping. Overall design: We conducted two independent screenings for sensitivity against 6-thioguanine (6TG) and an ATR inhibitor (ATRi). We applied our RNAseq-based pipeline (TrapSeq) to identify mutations that provide resistance to these reagents. Importantly, and besides its use for screenings, when applied to individual clones our method provides a fast and cost-effective way that not only identifies the insertion site of the genetrap but also reveals the impact of the insertion on the expression of the trapped gene. Please note that HAP1, haploid for all chromosomes, derives from near-haploid KBM7 parent line which was in turn obtained from a chronic myeloid leukemia patient in blast crisis phase (Carette et al. Nature 477:340-343, 2011).
