Project description:Small RNA expression from Nicotiana benthamiana leaves was profiled with the primary goal of ascertaining microRNA isoform diversity for known, conserved families. A secondary goal was to provide a baseline small RNA expression atlas for this species and tissue.
Project description:Small RNA expression from Nicotiana benthamiana leaves was profiled with the primary goal of ascertaining microRNA isoform diversity for known, conserved families. A secondary goal was to provide a baseline small RNA expression atlas for this species and tissue. Two biological replicates of leaves from growth-room grown plants. The two libraries were each run twice on different runs, so there are a total of four datasets. For most analyses, it will be appropriate to combine the run1 and run2 versions for the libraries.
Project description:The 35S::GFP fluorescence was silenced 6-day after infiltration to Nicotiana benthamiana leaves due to the post-transcriptional gene silencing, but became stable by adding the viral suppressor 2b which repressed RNA silencing in plants. We performed the small RNA high throughput sequencing to test whether WUS can inhibit 2b functions in repressing plant RNA silencing.
