zmrsub1

Library Description

Organism:Zea mays

(1) The zmrsub1 library was created by subtracting the well-watered maize root library zmrww00 from the water-starved maize root libraries zmrws05 and zmrws48. The 3 starting libraries are described below in (3). (2) Purified plasmid preps from zmrws05 and zmrws48 were combined. Sequenced clones from the zmrww00 library were pooled and converted into single-stranded circles and used as a driver for subtraction. The PCR products from the driver were hybridized with the single-stranded version of the zmrws05-zmrws48 library for 88 hours at 30 oC. Unhybridized single-stranded DNA circles were separated from hybridized DNA rendered partially double-stranded and electroporated into DH110B cells to generate the subtracted library. The total number of clones was 2 x 106 cfu. Background of empty clones (detected by blue/white selection on agar plates) was approximately 10%. Insert size of the subtracted library, determined by PCR of the entire library, ranges from 0.5 to 2.1kb). (3) Root samples were collected in Robert E. Sharp's lab (University of Missouri-Columbia) to construct three normalized cDNA libraries. Dark-grown maize seedlings with primary roots 12-20 mm in length were transplanted to high (-0.03 MPa) or low water potential (-1.6 MPa) vermiculite, and harvested at 5 h and 48 h after transplanting. About 1,000 roots were used for each of the low water potential libraries (zmrws05 and zmrws48) while 500 roots were combined from each of the two time points at high water potential (zmrww00). Each root was divided into 4 segments (distances are from the junction of the root apex and root cap): segment 1, 0-3 mm plus the root cap; segment 2, 3-7 mm; segment 3, 7-12 mm; segment 4, 12-20 mm. (For detatils of conditions see (1) with nutrient modifications as in (2)). The three normalized cDNA libraries were constructed in the lab of Hans Bohnert (University of Illinois-UC). Total RNA was extracted by the 'hot Phenol' method (Plant Molecular Biology manual. D5: 1-13, 2nd ed., 1997). This method worked in eliminating carbohydrate material present in the root tips. The integrity of the RNA was verified by denaturing agarose gels and spectrophotometry (ratio A260/280). Poly(A)+mRNA was isolated twice from total RNA using the Oligotex Direct mRNA kit (Qiagen). Poly(A)+ mRNA was converted to double-stranded cDNA and tagged by using modified Oligo(dT) primers. One of 4 sequence tags corresponding to a different segment of the root was added to the 3'-end of the modified Oligo(dT) primers, including a Not1 site and used to reverse transcribe the segment-specific mRNAs into cDNAs. Each library contains all four tags. A suffix (s1, s2, s3, or s4) has been added to each sequence identifier to designate which region of the root (Root_segment_1, 2, 3, or 4) the sequence was found in based on the identification of the tag. A suffix of s0 indicates that the sequence tag, and hence the source segment, could not be identified. The double stranded cDNAs were size-selected (>450 bp). Size selected cDNAs were adaptored with EcoRI adaptors at both ends, and then digested with NotI. The cDNA was directionally cloned into EcoR1-NotI digested pBS II SK(+) phagemid vector (Stratagene) and electroporated into E.coli DH10B. The total number of white colony forming units (cfu) in the primary libraries before amplification was as follows: zmrws05: 3.37 x 106; zmrws48: 4.87 x 106; zmrww00: 3 x 106. The background of empty clones was less than 1%. Inserts ranged from ~0.5kb to >2.5 kb, as determined by PCR. Plasmid DNA from the primary libraries then was converted to single-stranded circles and used as a template for PCR amplification using the T7 and T3 priming sites that flank the cloned cDNA inserts. The purified PCR products, representing the entire cDNA population cloned in each library, were used as a driver for normalization. Hybridization between the single-stranded library and the PCR products was carried out for 44 hours at 30oC. Non-hybridized single-stranded DNA circles were separated from hybridized DNA rendered partially double-stranded and electroporated into DH10B. The total number of clones with insert was: zmrws05: 2.0x107; zmrws48: 4.2x107; zmrww00: 1.1x107. The background of empty clones was less than 2%. Insert size, determined by PCR of the entire library, ranged from 0.5kb to 2.5kb. (1) Sharp R E; Silk W K; Hsiao T C. Growth of the Maize Primary Root at Low Water Potentials I.
