Project description:Several metals are essential nutrients for plants but metals are toxic in excess, deleteriously affecting crop yield and quality. Various kinds of genes involved in metal homeostasis have been investigated in detail over the past few decades and the mechanisms of how metals are absorbed from soil and distributed in plants have been elucidated. However, numerous genes related to metal homeostasis remain to be investigated and a comprehensive analysis of the expressions of these genes is required. In the present study, we investigated the spatial gene expression profile of iron (Fe)-deficient and cadmium (Cd)-stressed rice by a combination of laser capture microdissection and microarray analysis. We performed comprehensive microarray analysis of a rice root using laser microdissection and collected a total of 13 samples (3 replicates for each sample, 39 total microarray data). Roots of normal, Fe-deficient (-Fe) and Cd-stressed (+Cd) rice were separated into the vascular bundle (VB), cortex (Cor), and epidermis plus exodermis (EP). In addition, vascular bundles from new leaves (newDC) and old leaves (oldDC) at the lowest node, which are important for metal distribution, were separately analyzed.

Project description:OsNRAMP5 is involved in iron, manganese and cadmium transport. Goal was to determine the effects of knocking down OsNRAMP5 on global rice gene expression.
Project description:transcriptomic study of the impact of iron toxicity on rice plant (Oryza sativa L.; cv ‘I Kong Pao’ ) after short term (3 days) or long term (3 weeks) exposure to ferrous iron (125 ppm). Twenty five days old rice seedlings were exposed to 0 or 125 mg/L ferrous iron for 3 days and 3 weeks in hydroponic culture. Comparison between control and iron stressed plants were done at the shoot and the root levels. The assays were replicated twice on two independent plant cultures.
Project description:A Candida glabrata wild type strain (HTL, as described in Schwartzmuller et al., PLoS Pathog. 2014 Jun 19;10(6):e1004211) was submitted to various stress conditions (iron excess, salt excess, cadmium treatment and iron starvation (BPS treatment). The cells were collected 20 and 40 minutes after the beginning of treatments and their transcriptomes were compared to those of mock treated cells.
Project description:transcriptomic study of the impact of iron toxicity on rice plant (Oryza sativa L.; cv M-bM-^@M-^XI Kong PaoM-bM-^@M-^Y ) after short term (3 days) or long term (3 weeks) exposure to ferrous iron (125 ppm). Twenty five days old rice seedlings were exposed to 0 or 125 mg/L ferrous iron for 3 days and 3 weeks in hydroponic culture. Comparison between control and iron stressed plants were done at the shoot and the root levels. The assays were replicated twice on two independent plant cultures. 8 samples, Two-condition experiment, control (0 ppm ferrous iron) vs. iron treated (125 ppm ferrous iron). Biological replicates: 2 replicates for comparison shoot 3 days of stress, root 3 days of stress, shoot 3 weeks of stress and root 3 weeks of stress.
Project description:In these experiments, we compared the transcriptomes of a wild type strain and an aft2 deleted strain of the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata. The comparisons were performed in four different growth conditions: iron starvation (BPS treatment), selenite treatment, cadmium treatment and optimal growth conditions (YPD).
Project description:OsNRAMP5 is involved in iron, manganese and cadmium transport. Goal was to determine the effects of knocking down OsNRAMP5 on global rice gene expression. Two experiments: Control condition experiment: root or shoot of WT vs. OsNRAMP5 RNAi plants. WT Cd treatment experiment: 4 weeks old WT plants grown under 0 or 10uM Cd for two weeks
Project description:Purpose: To understand the effects of two different chemical forms of iron fertilizer on cadmium accumulation Methods:Cultivation and treatment for three weeks of dwarf Polish wheat seedlings by hydroponics, in triplicate, qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Results: Iron fertilizer can effectively reduce cadmium concentration in plants Conclusions: Our study represents the different chemical forms of iron fertilizer have different mitigation effects on cadmium. The transcriptome gata showed that iron fertilizer have changed the cadimium metabolism
