  5. The Germination Genes in Arabidopsis thaliana • RGL2 – Germination Repressor Protein • PIL5 – Light Receptor; GA Producer • ATG1D1A – GA Receptor, if GA present, degradation begins • SLEEPY1 – Adds a marker to RGL2

  6. Steps • Sequence the four genes through 96 accessions • Accession = • Same Species but from different parts of the world • Similar but different genetic data • Able to interbreed with each other • Seed germination phenotype data • Record rates of germination • Find any significant association between the two

  7. The Accessions

  8. Analyzing the Genetic Data through Bioinformatics

  9. Contig Express Edit the raw gene sequence

  10. ClustalX Align multiple DNA fragments

  11. BioEdit Filter and remove any “incorrect” sequences

  12. MEGA (Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis) Create phylogeny trees to show relationships between accessions

  13. Synonymous Mutation CCT CCT CCG Proline Proline Nonsynonymous Mutation CCT CCT CAT Proline Histidine

  14. RGL2 Synonymous Nonsynonymous

  15. DNAsp Analyze Nucleotide Diversity, Ka/Ks values

  16. DNAsp

  17. Seed Germination Phenotype Data • Three Petri dishes each with ~100 seeds for every accession • Initial 24 hour cold treatment at 4°C • Incubated at 21-22°C for seven days • Record germinated seeds for each day

  18. Seed Germination Study

  19. Association Mapping Determine if there is any statistical significance between: • Single nucleotide polymorphism data (SNP) • Seed germination phenotype data • Population structure data

  20. Association Mapping • H0 : Null Hypothesis = No association • H1 : Alternative Hypothesis = Association • P-value : Determines if H0 is true or false • If p < 0.05, then H0 is false and there is significant statistical association

  21. TASSEL Trait Analysis by aSSociation Evolution and Linkage

  22. RGL2 P-values

  25. Results • RGL2 shows significant association between the SNP and the seed germination phenotype data • Arginine Glutamine • SNP occurred in a functional domain • PIL5, ATG1D1A, and SLEEPY1 does not show any significant statistical association
