Kianianmomeni, Arash: Cell-type specific light-mediated transcript regulation in the multicellular alga Volvox carteri. In: BMC Genomics. Jg.15 H. 1. 2014
Inhalt
- Methods
- Strain and culture conditions
- Light treatments
- RNA isolation
- Quantitative one-step real-time RT-PCR and data analysis
- Results
- Reproductive and somatic cells accumulate different photoreceptors
- Volvox genes encoding components of light-harvesting system, carotenoid and chlorophyll biosynthesis, circadian clock, cell cycle and diverse metabolic pathways
- Cell-type specific changes in transcript accumulation of genes encoding photosynthetic related/associated components in response to blue and red light
- Blue and red light-induced changes in transcript accumulation of genes encoding carotenoid biosynthesis, cell cycle and clock relevant components in the reproductive and somatic cells
- Blue and red light induced modulation of ACDA and CA transcript abundance
- Far-red light causes only modest changes in the levels of transcripts from LHL4, PSY and ACDA
- Discussion
- Blue and red light induce quantitative difference of transcript accumulation in both cell types
- Cell-type specific light signaling pathways behind cellular differentiation
- Biological significance of cell-type specific light signaling pathways
- Conclusions
- Availability of supporting data
