Project description:To identify oilseed rape genes with a potential role in N-remobilization during leaf senescence of developmentally old leaves in the lower canopy and young leaves in the upper canopy, transcriptomes of leaf number 4 and leaf number 8 of B. napus (cultivar Mozart) were analysed at different harvest time points under mild N deficiency and optimal N fertilization.
Project description:The presence of DNA methylation in beetles (Coleoptera) has only been investigated with bisulfite sequencing of Tribolium castaneum, which produced no evidence of DNA methylation. Here, we used whole genome bisulfite sequencing to assay if DNA methylation was present in another beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides. We used T. castaneum as a negative control.
