Project description:We hypothesized that the genome segments of cultivated barley should show certain similarity with its ancestral wild barley. Instead of whole genome sequences, we employed RNA-Seq to investigated the genomic origin of modern cultivated barley using some representative wild barley genotypes from the Near East and Tibet, and representative world-wide selections of cultivated barley.
Project description:Waterlogging is a major abiotic stress causing oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the rhizosphere. Barley is more susceptible to waterlogging stress than other cereals. To gain a better understanding of the effect of waterlogging stress in barley, we carried out a genome-wide gene expression analysis in roots of Yerong and Deder2 barley genotypes under waterlogging and control (well-watered) conditions by RNA-Sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq™ 4000 platform.
Project description:Hordeum vulgare is one of the first domesticated grains in the world and it has been reported that variations in the light environment have a substantial effect on barley plant development and biological processes. High-throughput RNA-Seq study was performed to investigate the complex transcriptome network required for photomorphogenesis in barley. Seedlings were grown in dark and light conditions and three biological replicates were sampled from each condition. Six libraries from poly-A rich mRNA fraction were subjected to 51bp single-end RNA-seq sequencing.
