Project description:Cytosine methylation is a base modification that is often used by genomes to store information that is stably inherited through mitotic cell divisions. Most cytosine DNA methylation is stable throughout different cell types or by exposure to different environmental conditions in plant genomes. Here, we profile the epigenomes of ~100 Glycine max lines to explore the extent of natural epigenomic variation. We also use these data to determine the extent to which DNA methylation variants are linked to genetic variations.
Project description:Little is known about plant pathogenic response to parasitic plants, although some parasitic plants affect crop production in certain areas. To study this, we chose Glycine max as the model host plant and investigated changes in expression patterns after parasitization by Cuscuta using microarrays. Transcriptional change of Glycine max stem with and without Cuscuta at 2 different stages were compared
Project description:Transformation of Glycine max with seed-targeted expression vectors via Agrobacterium causes measurable unscripted gene expression changes in the seed transcriptome
Project description:Transcript profiling of control vs Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus infected Glycine max variety JS335. RNA samples were collected at 2 dpi to study change in transcript profile at early infection.
Project description:The diurnal transcriptome of field-grown Glycine max was investigated in relation to diurnal physiological processes in the field and compared to diurnal transcription data from growth chamber studies
