Project description:Strain Eubacterium callanderi TSDC17.1-1.1 (species Eubacterium callanderi) was isolated from the fecal microbiota of a USA female at time point zero (bacterial isolates were sequenced from this donor on day 0 and 49). The species name was assigned by genome clustering.
Project description:Perennial plants alternate between periods of active growth and periods of dormancy. Prerequisite to bud dormancy is the formation of an apical bud. Short day photoperiod in the fall induces bud formation in poplar. Transgenic plants overexpressing the bZIP transcription factor FD do not stop growing and do not form a bud. In order to better understand the molecular events leading to bud formation, we used microarrays to compare the transcriptomes of shoot tips of poplars overexpressing FD and wild type plants (1) grown under long day conditions and (2) collected after 3 weeks under short day conditions
