Project description:We investigated chilling response of seedlings of three inbred maize lines: chilling tolerant S68911, chilling-sensitive S160 and moderate chilling-sensitive S50676. Kernels were germinated in wet sand in darkness at 25C. Seedlings were transferred to growth chamber (photoperiod 14/10h, temperature 24, light 250 umol quanta x m-2 x s-1), grown till the third-leaf stage and used in experiment. Chilling treatment started at the start of the dark period and lasted 38h (10h dark, 14h light,10h dark, 4h light). Growth conditions was as previously described but temperature was set to 14 (light/dark). At the same time control plants were grown as previously described. There were three biological replications of hybridization scheme.

Project description:We investigated effect of severe cold to diurnal transcriptome changes in maize 3rd leaf. We used chilling-sensitive inbred line CM109. Kernels were germinated in wet sand in darkness at 25C. Seedlings were transferred to growth chamber (photoperiod 14/10h, temperature 24, light 250 umol quanta x m-2 x s-1). After full development of the third leaf (fully developed ligular region) plants were used for experiments. The experiment was begun at the start of the dark period (time zero), at which time a large sample (eight plants) was taken to serve as a reference in hybridizations. Half of the plants were transferred to cold chamber (day/night temperature 8/6°C, photoperiod 14/10 h, light 250 umol quanta•m-2•s-1) other half served as control (day/night temperature 24/22°C, other parameters was the same as for cold treatment). Further samples were taken after 200, 400, 600 (dark period) and 810, 1020, 1230, 1440 minutes (light period) of growth (total 24 hours). Each sample consisted of the middle part of the third leaf blade, pooled from three plants and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The experiment was replicated four times with two replications dye swapped.

Project description:Maize kernel is an important source of food, feed and industrial raw materials. The illustration of the molecular mechanisms of maize kernel development will be helpful for the manipulation of maize improvements. Although a great many researches based on molecular biology and gecetics have greatly increased our understanding on the kernel development, many of the mechanisms controlling this important process remain elusive. In current study, a microarray with approximately 58,000 probes was used to study the dynamic gene expression during kernel development from the fertilization to physiological maturity. Samples from two consecutive time-points were paired and labeled using different fluorescent dyes (Cy3 and Cy5) and hybridized in the same array. Hybridization of slides was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions (http://www.maizearray.org/). The hybridized slides were scanned by a Genepix 4000B (Axon, USA). A loop design was applied for running the microarray. Two replicates of each pair of samples were carried out to test both the reproducibility and quality of the chip hybridizations. By comparing six consecutive time-points, namely 1, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 35 days after pollination (DAP), 3,445 differentially expressed genes were identified. These genes were then grouped into 10 clusters showing specific expression patterns using a K-means clustering algorithm. An investigation of function and expression patterns of genes expanded our understanding of the regulation mechanism underlying the important developmental processes, cell division and kernel filling. The differential expression of genes involved in plant hormone signaling pathways suggested that phytohormone might play a critical role in the kernel developmental process. Moreover, regulation of some transcription factors and protein kinases might be involved in the whole developmental process. To obtain the global gene expression profile during maize kernel development, a microarray with approximately 58,000 probes was used. The maize inbred line X178 was planted on the field. Each plant was self-pollinated by hand. The ears were harvested from healthy plants at 1, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 35 days after pollination (DAP), respectively. In order to increase the consistency & uniformity of the isolated kernels, the upper half and about one sixth of ears from the bottom were cut and discarded, the kernels were isolated from the rest part of the ears. Samples at each time-point were collected from at least thirty ears and pooled to represent the line characteristics of X178. Two sub-samples for replication in the microarray analysis were randomly drawn. Samples from two consecutive time-points were paired and labeled using different fluorescent dyes (Cy3 and Cy5) and hybridized in the same array. A loop design was applied for running the microarray. Two replicates of each pair of samples were carried out to test both the reproducibility and quality of the chip hybridizations.

Project description:Aflatoxin contamination occurring after infection by Aspergillus flavus is a major concern in maize production both pre- and post-harvest. A recent gene expression study of imbibed kernels highlighted induced resistance and gene regulation in kernels. In the present study, stored mRNA was profiled using oligo-nucleotide array. This comparison of stored mRNAs would enhance our understanding of the difference between resistant and susceptible lines at the kernel storage phase. To minimize the effect of different genetic backgrounds on the differential genes between resistant and susceptible lines, two closely related inbred lines were used. Of the two lines, Eyl25 is aflatoxin-resistant (R), and Eyl31 is –susceptible (S). These were derived from a cross between two resistant lines, 1368 and GT-MASK:gk, in the IITA and USDA- ARS collaborative breeding project. Direct comparisons were designed between Eyl25 and Eyl31. Dry kernels from the two lines were selected randomly into four groups to extract total RNA. Four biological replications were performed in the comparison including two dye-swaps.

Project description:In this study expression levels of 732 genes were analyzed for European maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines (4 Flint and 5 Dent) and nine corresponding hybrids by microarray analysis. The selection of the 732 genes was based on a previous study (Thiemann et al., Theor Appl Genet 2010, 120:401-413), which sequences were derived from the 46k microarray (platform GPL6438) (University of Arizona, USA). 558 of the 732 genes represented on the microarray were differentially expressed between the original 21 parental inbred lines and were correlated with at least one of the three characteristics MPH (mid-parent heterosis) and/or HP (hybrid performance) of the trait GY (grain yield) and/or HP of the trait grain dry matter content. Some of those correlated genes show overlapping correlations. The residual 174 non-correlated genes belong to the top 6 biological processes that were found to be enriched among the HP for GY-correlated genes (Thiemann et al., Theor Appl Genet 2010, 120:401M-bM-^@M-^S413). The aim of this study was the identification of the hybrid expression pattern of the subset of genes, which mid-parental expression levels were shown to be correlated with MPH for GY or showed no correlation. For the analysis total RNA of 7-day old seedlings was extracted and amino-allyl-labeled RNA was synthesized. The microarrays were scanned (AppliedPrecision ArrayWorx Scanner, Applied Precision Inc., USA) and data were evaluated using the Software GenePix Pro 4.0 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA). Hybridizations were conducted between each pair of parental inbred lines and its corresponding hybrids. In total 4 biological replicates per genotype were analyzed. As a result 119 (22.9 %) of the 519 MPH for GY or non-correlated genes showed differential expression in at least one of the nine inbred-hybrid comparisons. These differentially expressed genes were further analyzed for hybrid expression, resulting in a mainly additive expression. Of all differential expression, additive expression of 86.21 % (with 13.79 % non-additive) of the MPH-correlated genes, and a slightly smaller contingent of 79.66 % (with 20.34 % non-additive) of the non-correlated genes was measured. Four biological replicates of each of the nine parental inbred lines (4 Flint: F012, F039, F047, L024; 5 Dent: S028, S036, P024, P033, P048) and of the nine corresponding hybrids (P033xF047, P048xF047, P024xF039, S036xL024, S028xL024, S028xF012, S028xF039, P024xF012, F012xF039) were grown under controlled conditions (25 M-BM-0C 16 h day, 21 M-BM-0C 8 h night, 70 % air humidity) for seven days in a climate chamber. Whole seedlings were frozen in liquid nitrogen and were finely pounded. Total RNA was extracted and then precipitated (4 M LiCl). Residual genomic DNA was hydrolyzed with DNaseI (Fermentas, St. Leon-Rot, Germany) and purified with the M-bM-^@M-^\NucleoSpin RNA Clean-up KitM-bM-^@M-^] (Macherey-Nagel, DM-CM-<ren, Germany). For first strand cDNA synthesis, 5 M-BM-5g of total RNA and the Superscript II from Invitrogen (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, USA) were used. Second strand synthesis was performed using DNA Polymerase I and RNase H followed by a 5 min incubation step of T4 DNA Polymerase (Fermentas, St. Leon-Rot). Residual RNA was hydrolyzed with RNase A. In-vitro transcription was performed with the T7 RNA Polymerase (Fermentas, St. Leon-Rot, Germany) for 4 h to incorporate aminoallyl-labeled UTPs (Fermentas, St. Leon-Rot, Germany). Finally, residual DNA was degraded with DNase I (Fermentas). Synthesized aaRNA was coupled with fluorescence dyes Cy3 or Cy5 (GE Healthcare, Chalfont St. Giles, UK). The RNeasy MinElute Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used for purification and removal of unbound dye. In total 105 hybridizations were realized. The dye used for each biological replicate of each genotype was alternated to reduce systematic bias.

Project description:Aflatoxin contamination caused by the opportunistic pathogen A. flavus is a major concern in maize production prior to harvest and during storage. Previous studies indicate that both constitutive and induced resistance are involved in maize kernel defense against A. flavus infection, little is known about molecular mechanisms of mature kernels in response to fungal infection. The purpose of this study is to determine gene expression differences in maize kernels between resistant and susceptible lines in response to A. flavus challenge. To avoid the environmental effects in the field inoculation, a laboratory based inoculation technique Kernel Screening Assay (KSA) was used to challenge kernels with A. flavus. After 72 hours incubation of inoculated and noninculated mature kernels, gene expression profiles of two Near Isogenic Lines (NIL) of Eyl25 (A. flavus resistant) and Eyl31 (A. flavus susceptible) were compared using oligonucleotide array. Direct comparisons were designed. The comparisons of NIL Eyl25 and Eyl31 include: Treated/Control, Control/Control and Treated/Treated. After 72 hours incubation under KSA conditions, forty seeds used in each A. flavus inoculated and noninculated group were bulked to extract total RNA. Four technical replications were performed in each comparison including two dye-swaps, total 16 hybridization reactions.
