Project description:Background: Honey bee is a major insect used for pollination of a number of commercial crops worldwide. However, the number of managed honey bee colonies has recently declined in several countries, and a number of possible causes are proposed. Although the use of honey bees for pollination can be considered as disruption of the habitat, its effects on honey bees' physiology have never been addressed. In Japan, more than 100 thousands colonies are annually used for pollination, and intriguingly 80% of them are used in greenhouses. Recently, honey bee colonies have often collapsed when they are introduced into greenhouses. Thus, to suppress colony collapses and maintain the number of worker bees in the colonies are essential for successful long-term pollination in greenhouses and recycling honey bee colonies. Honey bee hives were installed into strawberry and eggplant greenhouses, and then the gene expression profiles of the honey bees were examined at the different time periods. Total 16 samples with two replicates were analyzed.
Project description:cea06-01_uranyl_nitrate - time course uranyl nitrate response - Dynamic analyses of transcriptomic response to urany l nitrate - Plants are grown on sand and transfert in hydroponic culture during 2 days and then expose or not to 50uM uranyl nitrate at pH 4.5 in water or only to water at pH 4.5. Roots and leaves were collected independently after 2h, 6h and 30h of treament. Keywords: organ comparison,time course,treated vs untreated comparison

Project description:The aim of this project was to explore the role of gut microbiota in the development of small intestine. The gut microbiota from different groups was used to treat the mice for 1 or 2 weeks. Then the small intestine samples were collected. The RNA was used for the RNA-seq analysis to search the role of gut microbiota in the development of small intestine. Groups: IMA100 mean gut microbiota from Alginate oligosaccharide 100mg/kg treated mice; IMA10 mean gut microbiota from Alginate oligosaccharide 10mg/kg treated mice; IMC mean gut microbiota from control group mice (dosed with water); Sa mean dosed with saline (no gut microbiota). "1" mean dosed for 1 week, "2" means dosed for 2 weeks.

Project description:Oryza longistaminata, a wild rice, vegetatively reproduces and forms a networked clonal colony consisting of ramets connected by rhizomes. Although water, nutrients, and other molecules can be transferred between ramets via the rhizomes, inter-ramet communication in response to spatially heterogeneous nitrogen availability is not well understood. We analyzed the transcriptomic response of ramet pairs to heterogeneous nitrogen availability by using a split hydroponic system that allowed each ramet root to be exposed to different conditions.
Project description:This study reports the first water-stressed transcriptome of Arundo donax L. (giant reed), a wild species that is emerging as one of the most promising biomass/bionergy species in mediterranean climates. Synchronized cohorts of giant reads cutting grown in hydroponic culture were subjected to water stress by addition of 10% or 20% polyethylene glycol to the roots. Shoot and root amples were collected one hour after stress. Untreated controls were collected at the same time point for shoot and root.
