ABSTRACT: gravitropic stimulation / isotropic light-Characterization of early molecular events of woody stem gravitropism independently of phototropic responses
Project description:12plex_poplar_2012-01 - gravitropic stimulation / isotropic light - The experiments were designed to identify genes responding to the gravitropic stimulus in the xylem of poplar stem independently of phototropic responses. - young poplar trees were staked one week before use. For the experiment, the plants were placed in an isotropic light environment and were tited at 35° during 30 min. Control plants were kept straight in the isotropic light device. Xylem samples were collected from the upper and lower face of the stems. 4 biological replicates were made (4 controls and 4 tilted plants). RNA was extracted from each xylem sample. cDNA was synthetized. The discovery of genes whose expression is modulated by tilting was performed by a microarray approach.
Project description:Here we applied a novel approach to isolate nuclei from complex plant tissues (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0251149), to dissect the transcriptome profiling of the hybrid poplar (Populus tremula × alba) vegetative shoot apex at single-cell resolution.
Project description:To obtain genes expression in different parts of 84k poplar stems, transcriptome sequencing was performed using Illumina Novaseq 6000 second-generation sequencing platform from Shanghai BIOZERON Co. Ltd (www.biozeron.com). Selecte three stem segments of plants REPEAT 1, 2 and 3 with good and similar growth to use: 2nd-3rd internodes (poplar stem top: PST1, PST2, PST3); 9th-10th internodes (poplar stem middle: PSM1, PSM2, PSM3); 14th-15th internodes (poplar stem bottom: PSB1, PSB2, PSB3). [Or the three repeating organisms are also called poplar A, B, C. From top to bottom, the three parts of the stem are also called stem 1, 2, 3.]
