Project description:Tanshinones and phenolic acids are crucial bioactive compounds biosynthesized in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is an effective elicitor to enhance the production of phenolic acids and tanshinones simultaneously, while yeast extract (YE) is used as a biotic elicitor that only induce tanshinones accumulation. However, little was known about the different molecular mechanism. To identify the downstream and regulatory genes involved in tanshinone and phenolic acid biosynthesis, we conducted comparative transcriptome profiling of S. miltiorrhiza hairy roots treated with either MeJA or YE.Total 55588 unigenes were assembled from about 1.72 billion clean reads, of which 42458 unigenes (76.4%) were successfully annotated. The expression patterns of 19 selected genes in the significantly upregulated unigenes were verified by quantitative real-time PCR. The candidate downstream genes and other cytochrome P450s involved in the late steps of tanshinone and phenolic acid biosynthesis pathways were screened from the RNA-seq dataset based on co-expression pattern analysis with specific biosynthetic genes. Additionally, 375 transcription factors were identified to exhibit a significant up-regulated expression pattern in response to induction. This study can provide us a valuable gene resource for elucidating the molecular mechanism of tanshinones and phenolic acids biosynthesis in hairy roots of S.miltiorrhiza.
Project description:Purpose: Understanding of MeJA, CK effect on regulation of gene expression patterns in Arabidopsis roots Total mRNA was extracted from 7-day-old Arabidopsis roots grown in MeJA (10uM), CK (50nM) and MeJA/CK-treated conditions. To generate cDNA libraries with TruSeq RNA library kit, 1 μg of total RNA was used. This step consisted of polyA-selected RNA extraction, RNA fragmentation, random hexamer primed reverse transcription and 100 nt paired-end sequencing by Illumina HiSeq2000. 4,403 genes satisfying |fold change|â¥2 in at least one data set were collected.
Project description:RNA sequencing was performed on tomato hairy root lines transformed with a GUS overexpression construct, 24 h after mock and jasmonate (JA) treatment. This set-up allowed us to map the gene targets of JA in tomato hairy roots after 24h.
Project description:Stresses from either biotic or abiotic origins can have significant impact towards plant physiology and molecular regulation. Jasmonate acid (JA) and its derivative, methyl JA (MeJA) are hormonal cues released by plants which signal defensive response to curb the damage from such stresses. In an attempt to study the defensive response, a tropical herbal plant, Persicaria minor (P. minor) which is known for its pungent smell as well as various bioactivities including antimicrobial and anti-cancer, has been treated with MeJA to invoke the stress signaling. Such elicitation has been performed in various plants such as Arabidopsis, rice and hairy root cultures of certain herbs, yet how MeJA directly influenced the proteome of a herbal species particularly P. minor has not been previously elucidated. In this study, P. minor plants was exogenously treated with MeJA and its proteome was investigated using a new proteomics approach called SWATH-MS.

Project description:Echinacea purpurea hairy root treatment with MeJA
Project description:In hairy roots of the model legume Medicago truncatula the saponin production can be elicited by methyl jasmonate treatment. To identify genes potentially involved in saponin biosynthesis or its regulation we carried out transcript profiling by RNA-Seq of M. truncatula hairy roots treated with 100 μM of methyl jasmonate (dissolved in ethanol) for two or 24 hours. As control, M. truncatula hairy roots treated with an equivalent amount of ethanol were profiled.
Project description:This dataset belongs to a set of three RNA-Seq experiments that were carried out to study the regulation of monoterpenoid indole alkaloid production in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus. For this dataset, C. roseus hairy roots overexpressing the well-known MIA biosynthesis regulator ORCA3 were analyzed by RNA-Seq. As control, C. roseus hairy roots expressing GUS were used. Each analyzed sample consisted of an independent hairy root line; three hairy root lines per construct were analyzed.
Project description:Hairy root lines over-expressing MtPAR using a 35S promoter compared with hairy lines over-expressing GUS gene. Hairy roots were generated in vitro using leaf explants from Medicago A17. The goal of this experiment is to prove that ectopic expression expression of MtPAR is sufficient to induce tannin biosynthesis
