Project description:High group animals with supercooling point (SCP) above -15°C and selected low group animals with SCP below -15°C were prepared from Cryptopygus antarcticus collected from wet moss (Sanionia uncinata (Hedw.)) during the austral summer of 2005 at the British Antarctic Survey's research station at Rothera Point, Adelaide Island (67'34'S, 66'8'W).
Project description:This experiment probed for the presence of known Arabidopsis and rice microRNAs in total RNA samples derived from species representative of the major groups of land plants: Eudicots (Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana benthamiana), monocots (Oryza satica, Triticum aestivum), magnoliids (Liriodendron tulipifera), gymnosperms (Pinus resinosa), ferns (Ceratopteris thalictroides), lycopods (Selaginella uncinata), and mosses (Polytrichum juniperinum). In most cases two technical or biological replicates were performed.
