Project description:RNA-seq of seedlings of four tomato species Solanum habrochaites, Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum pimpinelliolium, and Solanum pennellii. An additional panel of samples include many tissues from Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pennellii in two light conditions
Project description:Members of the tomato clade exhibit wide diversity in fruit coloration, growth habit, leaf morphology and mating preferences. However, the mechanisms governing inter-species diversity in fruit coloration are largely unknown. Therefore, a proteomic approach combined with carotenoid profiling and carotenogenic gene expression was used to decipher the diversity in carotenogenesis in green-fruited Solanum habrochaites, orange-fruited S. galapagense, and red-fruited S. pimpinellifolium with S. lycopersicum, cv. Ailsa Craig (tomato).
Project description:Genetic analysis of interspecific populations derived from crosses between the wild tomato species Solanum habrochaites f glabratum, which synthesizes and accumulates insecticidal methylketones (MKs) such as 2-undecanone and 2-tridecanone in glandular trichomes, and Solanum lycopersicum (cultivated tomato), which does not, demonstrated that MK metabolism in the wild species can be attributed to several loci. Comparative trascriptome analysis of the glandular trichomes of F2 segregants bulked into low- and high-MK plants identified several genes whose transcripts were either more or less abundant in the high-MK plants.
Project description:To further clarify the differences in the potential regulatory mechanisms of cold tolerance between wild and cultivated tomatoes, we subjected cold-sensitive cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Ailsa Craig (AC) and cold-tolerant wild tomato (S. habrochaites) LA1777 to cold stress for 6 h, and performed ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq, respectively.
Project description:Glandular trichomes (GT) are specialized cell factories that have the capacity to produce large amounts of metabolites which can amount to over 10% of the leaf dry weight. The specific expression of secondary metabolite pathways in glandular trichomes has facilitated their elucidation. However, little is known about the connection between central carbon and specialized metabolism in these cells. To address this question, we used the type VI glandular trichomes from a cultivated (Solanum lycopersicum LA4024) and a wild tomato accession (Solanum habrochaites LA1777) as a model. Our study is based on metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and 13C-labeling datasets of trichome and leaves samples. This comparative analysis allowed us to identify specific features of trichomes in comparison to leaves. Here, the transcript raw and RMA-normalized data is hosted.
