Project description:A microarray analysis of whole-genome gene expression and single feature polymorphism in a (Populus trichocarpa X Populus deltoides) X Populus deltoides pseudo-backcross pedigree. Genetic variation in gene expression was quantified for 55,793 predicted gene models based on a single probe per gene. Concurrently, sequence-level polymorphism was analyzed based on dedicated probes identified in a pilot study comprised of the two parent genotypes (GPL7169). Resultant data contributed to a high density genetic map and to analysis of the genetic architecture of gene expression in Populus. Keywords: Genetic analysis of gene expression and polymorphism, eQTL Data include one biological replicate of 178 segregating pseudobackcross progeny analyzed for gene expression (GE) using one probe per gene for 55793 independent gene models (probes E_POPLARSxxxxxPxxxxx) and single feature sequence polymorphism (SFP) using one probe per gene for 12084 independent gene models (probes G_POPLARSxxxxxPxxxxx). GE and SFP probes were selected from 6-7 probes per gene previously tested in a pilot study of the two parent trees of the cross (Populus deltoides X Populus trichocarpa).
Project description:Radula is a unique foraging organ to Mollusca, which is important for their evolution and taxonomic classification. Many radulae are mineralized with metals. Although the remarkable mechanical properties of mineralized radula are well-studied, the formation of mineralization from nonmineralized radula is poorly understood. Taking advantage of the recently sequenced octopus and chiton genome, we were able to identify more species-specific radula proteins by proteomics. Comparing these proteomes enable us to gain insight into the molecular components of nonmineralized and mineralized radula, highlighting that iron mineralization in chiton radula is possibly due to the evolution of ferritins and peroxiredoxins. Through in vitro binding assay, ferritin is shown to be important to iron accumulation into the nonmineralized radula. Moreover, radula proteomes are well adapted to their functionality. Octopus radula has many scaffold modification proteins to suit flexibility while chiton radula has abundant sugar metabolism proteins (e.g. glycosyl hydrolases) to adapt to algae feeding. This study provides a foundation for the understanding of Mollusca radula formation and evolution and may inspire the synthesis of iron nanomaterials.

Project description:We take one-year-old plants for short-term water deficit treatments and controls. We use the Affymetrix Poplar GeneChip to decrypt the gene functions and mechanisms in Populus simonii leaves and detail the global program of gene expression during water deficit treatments. Populus simonii leaves were taken from short-term water-deficit-treated plants and control plants for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. D1 and D2 are from water-deficit-treated plants, CK1 and CK2 are controls.

Project description:Poplar GeneChip was employed to detect genes expressed during the whole floral developmental process, in order to improve understanding of poplar flower development, since current knowledge on flower development was mainly from model plant Arabidopsis. Male and female floral buds of Populus tomentosa were selected at successive stages of the whole development process for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain genes contributed to floral development, but not the dynamic expression changes. To that end, equal amount of floral buds RNA per gender from different stages were mixed for the detection of expressed genes.
Project description:To investigate the genetic relationship between two major grain length loci GS3 and qGL3, we developed the near-isogenic lines (NILs), NIL-GS3 (GS3/qGL3), NIL-qgl3 (gs3/qgl3), NIL-GS3/qgl3 (GS3/qgl3) in the background of 93-11 (gs3/qGL3) by crossing and MAS approach. Four samples was analyzed: three near-isogenic lines (NILs), NIL-GS3 (GS3/qGL3), NIL-qgl3 (gs3/qgl3), NIL-GS3/qgl3 (GS3/qgl3) and their background of 93-11. Every sample had three independed duplications. And the primary panicle with 3-6 cm length from the three NILs and 93-11 were used for RNA preparation and hybrid with Rice Genome OneArray Microarray (Phalanx Biotech Group).
