Project description:UHPLC-PDA-CAD-HRMS/MS data (pos and neg) of a collection of 38 plant species of the botanical family Combretaceae. Several plant parts are included for each species and each was extracted with ethyl acetate and then methanol. both extracts were analysed.
Project description:Comparative gene expression profiling of a) above-ground tissues of three fruiting species (P. cheesemanii, ch, P. exile, ex, P. novae-zelandiae, nz), b) above-ground tissues of two rosette stage species (P. fastigiatum, fa, P. enysii, en) and c) roots of all five species using heterologous A. thaliana microarrays 8-12 specimens per species grown in common garden, RNA from roots and aboveground tissues extracted separately from each specimen, individual samples pooled in equal amounts resulting in five above ground samples (ch_l, ex_l, nz_l, fa_l, en_l) and five root samples (ch_r, ex_r, nz_r, fa_r, en_r), 36 two channel microarrays used in total: five above-ground samples hybridized in a loop-like fashion using 14 arrays, five root samples hybridized in a loop-wise fashion using 10 arrays; five root and three leaf samples hybridized in a loop-like fashion using 12 arrays, thus each sample hybridized multiple times (4-12) while being labelled either with cy3 or cy5
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata are two closely related Brassicaceae species, which are used as models for plant comparative biology. They differ by lifestyle, predominant mating strategy, ecological niches and genome organization. In order to explore molecular basis of specific traits, we performed RNA-sequencing of vegetative rosettes from both species. Additionally, we sequenced apical meristems and inflorescences of A. lyrata that allow for intra-specific transcriptome comparison in several major developmental stages. Arabidopsis lyrata and Arabidopsis thaliana aerial tissues were collected from mock treated plants, total RNA isolated and poly-A RNA populations sequenced
Project description:Verbena bonariensis is a species with excellent garden plant, good environmental adaptability and great potential for future development.Cadmium has caused serious heavy metal pollution in the soil, which has posed a great threat to plant growth. In this study, Illumina sequencing technology was used to sequence the transcriptome of Verbena bonariensis leaf under normal and Cd stress, respectively. In total, 95,013 transcripts and 63021 genes with an average length of 923 bp and 1,246 bp were constructed from the clean sequence reads, respectively. And 1037 DEGs were found in response to cadmium treatment, of which 10 were selected for qRT-PCR. In conclusion, this study first identified the Verbena bonariensis as a heavy metal tolerant plant and provided the first large-scale transcriptional data set in response to cadmium stress. Our research will help to understand the mechanism of resistance to Cd in the Verbena bonariensis and provide clues for further studies on the relationships between plants and heavy metals in other Verbenaceae plants.
