Project description:We focused on RNA-seq-based full transcriptome responses to PtrSND1-B1 overexpression at 7, 12, and 25 h in stem defferentiating xylem (SDX) protoplasts We transfected PtrSND1-B1 and sGFP into stem differentiating xylem protoplasts and performed RNA-seq to reveal the whole transcriptome.
Project description:jc2013_sybiopop_2014-pilot transcriptomic study - Which genes affect biomass yield in poplar? RNA was extracted from young differentiating xylem and cambium collected on 24 4-year-old trees trialed in a common garden experiment at INRA Orléans. The trees corresponded to corresponding to 2 replicates of 12 genotypes from 6 natural populations. After RNA quantification, the RNA from xylem and cambium from the same tree were pooled and subjected to high-throughput sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 using 100 bp paired-ends reads indexing runs. All the samples were sequenced on one Illumina lane, yielding around 20 million of single-reads per sample.
