Project description:Melioribacter roseus is one of two cultured representatives of the phylum Ignavibacteriae. It could grow by fermentation of sugars and peptides, by aerobic respiration or by dissimilatory reduction of arsenate, nitrite or Fe(III) on fermentable and non-fermentable substrates, what allows this bacterium to adapt to fluctuating environmental conditions. Primary genome analysis highlighted key determinants of electron transport chains, providing important insights into the ability of M. roseus to use a range of electron acceptors. Complete set of genes for proton-translocating membrane complexes I and II, alternative complex III (ACIII) and seven terminal oxidoreductases was found in the M. roseus genome. Among those three different cytochrome oxidases and two different molybdopterin oxidoreductases have been proposed to determine two most active respiratory processes performed by M. roseus – aerobic respiration and dissimilatory arsenate reduction, respectively.
Project description:The goal of this study is to investigate differential transcription profiles of leaf material/cells accumulating different levels of alkaloids in the anticancer plant Catharanthus roseus.
Project description:This dataset belongs to a set of three RNA-Seq experiments that were carried out to study the regulation of monoterpenoid indole alkaloid production in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus. For this dataset, C. roseus hairy roots overexpressing the well-known MIA biosynthesis regulator ORCA3 were analyzed by RNA-Seq. As control, C. roseus hairy roots expressing GUS were used. Each analyzed sample consisted of an independent hairy root line; three hairy root lines per construct were analyzed.
Project description:This dataset belongs to a set of three RNA-Seq experiments that were carried out to study the regulation of monoterpenoid indole alkaloid production in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus. For this dataset, C. roseus flower petals were infiltrated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58C1 or infiltration buffer as control. For each sample, flower petals from four to five flowers, each from a different individual plant were infiltrated.
Project description:This dataset belongs to a set of three RNA-Seq experiments that were carried out to study the regulation of monoterpenoid indole alkaloid production in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus. For this dataset, C. roseus stems were dissected to separate the epidermis from the lower tissues. Leaves were dissected to obtain veins and veinless leaves. As controls, undissected leaves and stems were used. Three biological replicates were analyzed per sample.
