Petunia ODO1 ChIP-seq and RNA-seq
Petunia floral scent production and emission is highly regulated, with a major role for the transcription factor ODORANT1 (ODO1) in directing activation of volatile biosynthesis. Using ChIP-seq of tagged ODO1 protein from petunia flowers, and RNA-seq of wild-type and odo1i RNAi flowers, the ODORANT1-regulated gene network of petunia is described, which extends to branches involved in phenylpropanoid intermediate production and S-adenosyl-methionine biosynthesis to potentiate production and emission of volatiles. Analysis of direct targets of regulation has also enabled the identification of an ODO1 binding motif.
