Project description:Mowing is a common practice to agricultural and horticultural grass species. Nonetheless, it has been unclear how mowing may affect roots at the levels of nutrient accumulation and transcriptional regulation. Hereby we report a comprehensive investigation on molecular impacts of mowing by using a model grass species, Brachypodium distachyon Bd21.
Project description:To study the diurnal transcriptome (RNA-seq) expressed by the monocot model plant B. distachyon under submergence stress, we analyzed two different ecotypes (Bd21, submergence sensitive; Bd21-3, submergence tolerant) at 5 different time points (dawn, ZT0; midday, ZT8; dusk, ZT16; middnight ZT20, end of night, ZT24).
Project description:We used Brachypodium distachyon (BD21) as a model grass to gain insight into the affected host molecular pathways upon infection of Panicum Mosaic Virus (PMV) together with its satellite virus, Satellite Panicum Mosaic Virus (SPMV). Brachypodium plants at 2-3 leaf stage were either mock inoculated or inoculated with PMV and PMV+SPMV. Total RNA was isolated from shoot tissues of control and treated plants and was subjected to microarray analysis.
