Circadian clock controlled gene expression in soybean seeds
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Microarray expression profiling was used to identify genes expressed in developing soybean (Glycine max) seeds that are controlled by the circadian clock. Plants with developing seeds were entrained to 12hour light: 12 hour dark cycles and sampled in constant light conditions. Soybean seeds entrained to 12 hour-light:12 hour dark photocycles were harvested after 24 hours of constant light and temperature conditions. Timepoint 24h represents subjective dawn. To minimize developmental variation, flowers were marked as they opened and seeds were harvested from marked pods after 5 weeks. There are two replicate samples at each time point, and each sample consists of 8 seeds collected from three diffferent plants.

Project description:To explore daily rhythms of ocular gene expression in adult mice we performed the following experiments: i) Mice were entrained to a 12:12-hr light-dark (LD) cycle for 3 weeks. Then mice were transferred to constant darkness (DD) or remained in LD and eyes were collected at four-hour intervals over a three-day period; ii) Bmal1-/- mice and wild-type littermates were entrained to a 12:12-hr LD cycle for 3 weeks and eyes were collected at four-hour intervals over a one-day period in LD.
Project description:Analysis of urinary bladder in wild-type C57BL/6 females sacrificed every 4 hours at six time points under constant darkness after acclimation for 2 weeks under 12-hour light and 12-hour dark conditions. Results provide insight into circadian gene expression patterns in normal urinary bladder. Analysis of urinary bladder in wild-type C57BL/6 females sacrificed every 4 hours at six time points (n=2 for each time (CT 0, 4, 8, 12 and 20)) under constant darkness after acclimation for 2 weeks under 12-hour light and 12-hour dark conditions.
Project description:To gain insights into the mechanisms of TOC1 function in the Arabidopsis circadian clock we performed transcriptional profiling of Wild-Type (WT) and and TOC1 mutant plants (toc1-2) under constant light conditions for two days. Comparisons of WT and toc1-2. Two biological replicates each per array. Two Arabidopsis Oligonucleotide Microarrays (two-color Cy3 and Cy5). synchronized under 12-hour light:12-hour dark (LD) cycles for 10 days followed by two days under constant light conditions. Samples were collected at circadian time 16 (CT16).

Project description:Male C57Bl/6 mice were randomized to undergo 5 days of i) a shiftwork protocol (10-hour light: 10-hour dark cycle) before myocardial infarction (MI) surgery, ii) a normal 12-hour light: 12-hour dark environment before MI surgery, iii) a normal 12-hour light: 12-hour dark environment and used as sham controls, or iv) a shiftwork protocol (10-hour light: 10-hour dark cycle) and used as sham controls. MI surgery was performed on the 5th day, after which all mice were returned to a normal 12-hour light: 12-hour dark cycle. Hearts were collected 24-hours post-MI at ZT06. The microarray approach allows the investigation of transcriptome-wide gene expression changes in hearts from mice on a shiftwork cycle or on a regular light:dark cycle before MI.
Project description:After 2 week acclimation to 12 hr/12 hr light/dark regimen, C57/BL6 mice were subjected to a 36 hour period of constant darkness. Aortae were subsequently harvested at 4 hour intervals to 48 hours. Duplicate microarrays were hybridized with biotin-labeled probes derived from aorta tissue (6 pooled aortae/timepoint). Keywords = aorta, murine, circadian

Project description:Light has a strong effect on whole organism physiology, such as the circadian rhythms that are phase delayed and advanced by light given at early and late subjective night, respectively. Despite the importance of the phase-dependent light responses, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanism. We performed a comprehensive analysis of genes induced by light in a phase-dependent manner in the chicken pineal gland, an organ that represents a unique vertebrate clock system harboring intrinsic light sensitivity. Newborn chicks were entrained to 12-h light/12-h dark cycle for 7 days then transferred to constant darkness for a day to be exposed to light for 1 h from CT (circadian time) 6 (representing subjective day), CT14 (early subjective night) or CT22 (late subjective night). Control animals were kept in the dark without light pulse. The pineal glands were isolated at the end of the 1-h light pulse for gene expression analysis by Affymetrix GeneChip. Each condition contains 2 biological samples.
Project description:Purpose: A time-course transcriptome study to identify probable GA-responsive genes in soybean embryonic axes during seed germination. Methods: Seeds were germinated in the presence or absence of 200 µM PBZ. Seeds were germinated in 28°C temperature and 12/12h photoperiod (dark/light) and harvested at 12, 24 and 36 hours after imbibition (HAI). Three biological replicates were performed. Results: Identification of GA-responsive genes during germination in Glycine max.
