Project description:Two azide mutagenized lines Freeze Resistance (FR, 75% survival) and Freeze Susceptible (FS, 30% survival) were compared with and without 4°C ± 1.5 cold acclimation of crown tissue to identify genes responsible for the difference in freeze resistance. Keywords: Wheat cold acclimation, stress response, cold, low temperature
Project description:100mM EMS was added to mid-log phase Halobacterium NRC-1 cultures. After constant stress of EMS for 30 minutes, cultures were spun down and pellets were re-suspended in same volume of GN101 media. Cultures were then harvested by centrifugation and pellets were snap frozen on a dry-ice ethanol bath. Samples for RNA preparation were collected during recovery time points at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 120 minutes. Keywords: stress response, dose response

Samples for RNA preparation were collected during recovery time points at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 120 minutes. 16 samples (8 samples from EMS perturbed and 8 non-perturbed controls) were analyzed on replicate arrays (dye-flips) all against the same standard reference sample.
Project description:Granulosa cells are essential to the growth, development, and maturation of oocytes and follicles. In patients with EMs-related infertility, follicle maturation disorders, poor oocyte quality may be closely related to GCs in the follicle. However, the molecular biological mechanism of GCs in EMs-related infertility has not been reported. Therefore, we tried to explore the possible causes of EMs-related infertility through the study of ovarian GCs in patients with EMs-related infertility and tubal factor infertility.

Project description:Abstract Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a recently identified post-translational modification (PTM) in the prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. However, the function of lysine-crotonylated proteins in response to abiotic stress in plants remains largely unknown. Here, we report the first global profiling of the Kcr proteome in common wheat, identifying 4,696 Kcr sites on 1,726 substrate proteins, participating in a wide variety of biological and metabolic pathways. Combination of transcriptome and proteome in a RIL (recombinant inbred line) population, Kcr proteome, and genome-wide association study, a candidate gene phosphoglycerate kinase (TaPGK) was identified to potentially affect on cold tolerance in common wheat. Using EMS-mutants, overexpressed transgenic wheat plants and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated know-out mutants, we demonstrated that TaPGK played a positively key role in regulation of plant cold tolerance. Moreover, TaPGK protein strongly interacted with sirtuin-like (TaSRT1). EMS-mutant tetraploid and overexpressed transgenic wheat experiments confirmed that TaSRT1 gene negatively regulated wheat cold tolerance. Immunoprecipitation demonstrated that TaSRT1 promoted the degradation of TaPGK by erasing Kcr. Additionally, RNA-sequencing results showed that overexpressed TaPGK significantly improved expression of peroxidase genes. It concluded that a large number of Kcr sites were present in wheat important proteins and TaPGK crotonylated by TaSRT1 played a key role in wheat response to cold stress through scavenging the accumulation of ROS.
Project description:EMS-mutagenized D. melanogaster populations with 4xbicoid were sequenced at the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 9th and 15th generation to analyze genomic changes during experimental evolution. Non-mutagenized populations were sequenced in parallel, representing standing variations.
