Project description:This experiment probed for the presence of known Arabidopsis and rice microRNAs in total RNA samples derived from species representative of the major groups of land plants: Eudicots (Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana benthamiana), monocots (Oryza satica, Triticum aestivum), magnoliids (Liriodendron tulipifera), gymnosperms (Pinus resinosa), ferns (Ceratopteris thalictroides), lycopods (Selaginella uncinata), and mosses (Polytrichum juniperinum). In most cases two technical or biological replicates were performed.
Project description:To investigate the effects of C. nutans DCM fraction on HeLa cells using transcriptomic analysis. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of two different condition at two replicates.
Project description:The development of cells specialized for water conduction or support is a striking innovation of plants that has enabled them to colonize land. The NAC transcription factors regulate differentiation of these cells in vascular plants. However, the path by which plants with these cells have evolved from those of their non-vascular ancestors is unclear. We investigated genes of the moss Physcomitrella patens that encode NAC proteins. Loss-of-function mutants formed abnormal water-conducting and supporting cells, and overexpression induced ectopic differentiation of water-conducting-like cells. Our results show conservation of transcriptional regulation and cellular function between moss and Arabidopsis water-conduction cells. The conserved genetic basis suggests roles for NAC proteins in the adaptation of plants to land. Note: All samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession (DRS013839). This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence “Source Name” was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
