ABSTRACT: Difference in gene expression profiles between the two metal hyperaccumulators Noccaea japonica and Noccaea caerulescens ecotype Ganges under excess nickel condition
Project description:The leaf transcriptome of the nickel hyperaccumulator specie Noccaea caerulescens subsp. fimiensis living on serpentine soils were compared to the closely related non-nickel-accumulators Noccaea caerulescens "Viviez" growing on a zinc mining site and Noccaea montana living on serpentine soil, to identity differentially expressed genes potentially involved in Ni hyperaccumulation.
Project description:Root transcriptomes were sequenced using SOLiD 4 chemistry. The three accessions LC, GA and MP differed significantly in the expression of genes that contribute to metal ion transport and detoxification, stress tolerance and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. These data provide comprehensive genome-wide view to the root processes in several N. caerulescens accessions and highlight differences that potentially facilitate adaptation to various metalliferous soils. Comparison of three N. caerulescens accessions with contrasting metal accumulation and tolerance traits
Project description:The model Zn hyperaccumulators Arabidopsis halleri and Noccaea caerulescens share elevated nicotianamine synthase (NAS) expression relative to non-accumulators among a core of alterations in metal homeostasis gene expression. Suppression of AhNAS2 expression by RNAi resulted in strongly reduced root NA accumulation and a concomitant decrease in root-to-shoot-translocation of Zn but not of other micronutrients. Few secondary effects on the root transcriptome were detected by microarray analysis.

Few secondary effects on the root transcriptome were detected by microarray analysis. Vegetatively propagated clones of A. halleri wildtype plants and a line with strong suppression of AhNAS2 were grown hydroponically for weeks in two different media (control Hoagland and 10 µM Zn2+ added). Roots were harvested and analyzed. Three plants were pooled for one sample. Three independent experiments were performed.
