Abstract

Assessing the dynamics of chromatin features and transcription factor (TF) binding at scale remains a significant challenge in plants. Here, we present PHILO (Plant HIgh-throughput LOw input) ChIP-seq, a high-throughput ChIP-seq platform that enables the cost-effective and extensive capture of TF binding and genome-wide distributions of histone modifications. The PHILO ChIP-seq pipeline is adaptable to many plant species, requires very little starting material (1mg), and provides the option to use MNase (micrococcal nuclease) for chromatin fragmentation. By employing H3K9ac PHILO ChIP-seq on eight Arabidopsis thaliana jasmonic acid (JA) pathway mutants, with the simultaneous processing of over 100 samples, we not only recapitulated but also expanded the current understanding of the intricate interplay between the master TFs MYC2/3/4 and various chromatin regulators. Additionally, our analyses brought to light previously unknown histone acetylation patterns within the regulatory regions of MYC2 target genes in Arabidopsis, which is also conserved in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). In summary, our PHILO ChIP-seq platform demonstrates its high effectiveness in investigating TF binding and chromatin dynamics on a large scale in plants, paving the way for the cost-efficient realization of complex experimental setups.
