Synergistic action of the Arabidopsis spliceosome components PRP39 and SmD1 in promoting post-transcriptional transgene silencing

The goals of this study is understand the role of spliceosome component PRP39 and SmD1 in post transcriptional transgene silencing Conclusions: MiEFF18 overexpression modifies the expression of genes important for the ontogenesis of giant cells, notably those involved in microtubule cytoskeleton reorganization and cell cycle regulation, strongly suggesting that MiEFF18-mediated SmD1 inactivation in plants leads to a loss of susceptibility to root-knot nematodes. Overall design: mRNA profiles of PolyA RNA from whole 14-day-old Col-0, prp39a-3 (SAIL_1249A03), smd1b-3 (Elvirat-Matelot et al., 2016) and Col-0 plants grown on 1/2MS medium. Three independent biological replicates were produced per genotype. For each biological repetition and each point.
