Project description:Populus deltoides and Populus trichocarpa were exposed to either ambient air or an acute ozone exposure of 200 ppb for 9 hrs and ozone response was profiled for each genotype by hybridising control against ozone-exposed samples per genotype. Keywords: stress response, genotype comparrison, ozone exposure RNA was extracted from the fifth leaf below the first fully unfurled leaf for each plant. Control and ozone-exposed plants were then randomly paired for hybridisation.

Project description:Illumina HiSeq2000 technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from the ectomycorrhizal fungi Laccaria bicolor colonizing roots of Populus trichocarpa. Samples were taken after 3 months of contact in order to identify mycorrhiza-regulated transcripts. 100bp reads were generated and aligned to the Populus trichocarpa (http://www.phytozome.net/poplar.php) reference genome.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to evaluate a set of 6-7 long oligonucleotide probes developed based on the sequence of the Populus trichocarpa genome, that are optimal for gene expression analysis of P. deltoides and a hybrid of P. deltoides and P. trichocarpa. To evaluate these probes, multiple tissues (differentiating xyle, leaf and whole-root) of a pure P. deltoides and a hybrid (P. deltoides X P. trichocarpa) were transcript profiled for identification of one or more probes that are not biased towards one or the other genotype.
Project description:We treated 6 month Populus trichocarpa by bending for 0, 3, and 7 days to see effects of bending treatment on wood formation at transcript level
