Project description:Coconut has a redundant gene pool to flourish under salt stress conditions; in particular the retention of genes resulting from the WGD p and the high genome size with a high TE content is a favourable context for gene innovation (e.g. sub or even neo-functionalization events) regarding abiotic stress tolerance. Four known pathways (ABA, ABA independent, ROS, Calcium/PLC and SOS) are present and expressed. Several strategies are in place: (moderate) high constitutive expression with a few number of gene candidates, moderate expression with a higher number of gene candidates, expression regulation of gene candidates.
Project description:To understand the molecular mechanisms of Suaeda salsa under salt stress, RNA-seq analysis was used to identify genes expressed in Suaeda salsa during salt stress response.
Project description:Purpose:to identify the response of Frankia sp.strain CcI6 to salt and osmotic stress. Frankia sp.strain CcI6 was exposed to salt and osmotic stress for seven days. RNAseq analysis was carried out to ge an insight into the response of the bacterium under salt and osmotic stress conditons
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous small RNAs that play important roles in growth, development, and environmental stress response processes in plants. Ulmus pumila is a typical deciduous broadleaved tree species of north temperate, and is widely distributed in central and northern Asia, which has important economic and ecological value. With the spread and aggravate of soil salinisation, salt stress has become a major abiotic stress that highly affects the normal growth and development of U. pumila. However, to date, no investigation into the influence of salt stress on U. pumila miRNAs has been reported. To identify miRNAs and predict their target mRNA genes under salt stress, three small RNA libraries were generated and sequenced from CK (without salt stress), LSS (light salt stress for a short time) and MSL (medium-heavy salt stress for a long time) roots of U. pumila seedlings. Through integrative analysis, 245 conserved miRNAs representing 30 families and 64 novel miRNAs were identified, of which 89 exhibited altered expression level under salt stress, and 232 potential targets for the miRNAs were predicted and annotated in U. pumila. The expressions of six differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by qRT-PCR. These salt responsive miRNAs may play crucial roles in U. pumila defense against salt stress, and our miRNA data provides valuable information regarding further functional analysis of miRNAs involved in salt tolerance of U. pumila and other forest tree species.
Project description:Arundo donax L. is one of the most promising bioenergy crop due to its high biomass yield and low irrigation requirement. The resistance to biotic and abiotic stress causes the high invasiveness of this plant which can grow with very low management input (e.g., pesticides, fertilization, irrigation) even in marginal lands or in fields irrigated with waste or salty water. Despite its economic importance, the A. donax genomic resources are still limited. In particular, no information on its transcriptional response to salt stress is available.We report the leaf transcriptome sequencing, de novo assembly and annotation of a giant reed genotype under two levels of salt stress. The study will be useful for providing insight into the molecular mechanism underlying its extreme adaptability also offering a platform for directing future efforts towards the genetic improvement of this species.
Project description:This study aimed to investigate the survival of an environmental isolate under salt stress and to identify the various genes involved in stress protection following RNA sequencing analysis. The obtained results provide new targets that will allow understanding the in-depth mechanisms involved in the adaptation of bacteria to salt stress.

Project description:Salt stress is one of the most severe environmental conditions which cause huge losses in crop production worldwide. We identified an essential regulator of salt stress RSA3 and used the Affymetrix whole-genome arrays to study the effect of rsa3-1 mutation on global gene expression under salt stress. A set of genes differentially expressed in rsa3-1 under salt stress are identified.
Project description:We examined the role of HES1 in high salt response as a novel regulator of NFAT5. We analyzed gene expression of HeLa cells under isoosmotic and high salt condition.
