Project description:Soybean is one of the main sources of oil worldwide. Salinity severely affect its yield. GmSIN1 is a NAC transcription factor coding gene. Its overexpression (OE) transgenic lines greatly improved the yield in both common and saline fields. This study focuses on founding changes genes between GmSIN1 OE transgenic seedlings and control seedlings under salt stress or non-salt stress conditions. Illumina Solexa sequencing platform was used for the comparative analysis of transcriptome profiles in the roots and leaves of GmSIN1 OE transgenic seedlings and WEI6823 (control) seedlings under mock or 150 mM NaCl treatment for 6 hrs.
Project description:Soybean's productivity is significantly compromised by soil salinity, but, like most plants, it has evolved a variety of mechanisms to aid its survival under environmental stress. The expression of many plant genes is altered by salinity stress. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified distinct up or down-regulated genes between salinity stressed and non stressed soybean Seedlings of the soybean cultivar Williams 82 were grown in vermiculite under a 16h photoperiod at 25 ºC for 14 days. RNA were isolated from the mock (M0, M1, M3, M6, M12, M24) and salinity treated (S0, S1, S3, S6, S12, S24) seedlings. 0.5 µg RNA that extracted from each time point of the mock and salinity-stressed seedlings were mixed respectively to obtain the mock and salinity-stressed RNA pools, and then they were used to synthesize the cDNA. The cDNA was labeled with biotin, and then hybridized to an Affymetrix soybean Genome Array.
Project description:To understand affected genes by HDA19 and HDA5/14/15/18 under salinity stress conditions, hda19 and hda5/14/15/18 mutants and control (Col-0) plants were analyzed under normal and salinity stress conditions using Arabidopsis custom microarrays (GEO array platform: GPL19830).
Project description:Oilseed mustard, Brassica juncea, exhibits high levels of genetic variability for salinity tolerance. To obtain the global view of transcriptome and investigate the molecular basis of salinity tolerance in a salt-tolerant variety CS52 of B. juncea, we performed transcriptome sequencing of control and salt-stressed seedlings. De novo assembly of 184 million high-quality paired-end reads yielded 42,327 unique transcripts longer than 300 bp with RPKM ≥1. When compared with non-redundant proteins, we could annotate 67% unigenes obtained in our study. Based on the mapping to expressed sequence tags (ESTs), 52.6% unigenes are novel compared to EST data available for B. juncea and constituent genomes. Differential expression analysis revealed altered expression of 1469 unigenes in response to salinity stress. Of these, 587, mainly associated with ROS detoxification, sulfur assimilation and calcium signaling pathways, are up regulated. Notable of these is RSA1 (SHORT ROOT IN SALT MEDIUM 1) INTERACTING TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 1 (RITF1) homolog up regulated by >100 folds in response to stress. RITF1, encoding a bHLH transcription factor, is a positive regulator of SOS1 and several key genes involved in scavenging of salt stress-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Further, we performed comparative expression profiling of key genes implicated in ion homeostasis and sequestration (SOS1, SOS2, SOS3, ENH1, NHX1), calcium sensing pathway (RITF1) and ROS detoxification in contrasting cultivars, B. juncea and B. nigra, for salinity tolerance. The results revealed higher transcript accumulation of most of these genes in B. juncea var. CS52 compared to salt-sensitive cultivar even under normal growth conditions. Together, these findings reveal key pathways and signaling components that contribute to salinity tolerance in B. juncea var. CS52. We report transcriptome sequencing of two-weeks-old seedlings of B. juncea var. CS52 under normal growth conditions (CTRL) and in response to salinity stress (SS) using Illumina paired-end sequencing
Project description:To understand the effect of HDA19 deficiency in hda5/14/15/18 (quad) under salinity stress conditions, hda19, quad, hda5/14/15/18/19 (quint) mutants and control (Col-0) plants were analyzed under normal and salinity stress conditions using Arabidopsis custom microarrays (GEO array platform: GPL22706).
Project description:For identification of genes up-regulated in abiotic stress (drought, high salinity, low temperature and ABA) treated rice, total RNA (100 μg) was prepared from root tissues of 14-d-old rice seedlings (Oryza sativa cv Nakdong) grown under normal growth conditions. For the high salinity and ABA treatments, the 14-d-old seedlings were transferred to a nutrient solution containing 400 mM NaCl or 100 μM ABA for 2 h in the greenhouse under continuous light of approximately 1000 μmol m-2 s -1. For drought treatment, 14-d-old seedlings were air-dried for 2 h also under continuous light of approximately 1000 μmol m-2 s -1. For low temperature treatments, 14-d-old seedlings were exposed at 4°C in a cold chamber for 6 h under continuous light of 150 μmol m-2 s -1.
Project description:RSS1 is required for maintenance of meristematic activity under salinity conditions in rice. We carried out transcriptome analysis using shoot basal tissues in wild type and rss1-2 grown under non-stress and salt-stress conditions.
Project description:Drought, salinity and sub-optimal temperatures are stresses that cause adverse effects on the growth of plants and the productivity of crops. In this study, we have analyzed the expression profiles of rice genes under control and abiotic stress conditions using microarray technology to identify the genes differentially expressed during various abiotic stresses. Experiment Overall Design: Seven-day-old light-grown rice seedlings grown under controlled conditions and those subjected to various abiotic stress conditions were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Three biological replicates of each sample were used for microarray analysis. For salt treatment (SS), the rice seedlings were transferred to a beaker containing 200 mM NaCl solution for 3 h. For desiccation (DS), rice seedlings were dried for 3 h between folds of tissue paper at 28±1 degree C, in a culture room. For cold treatment (CS), the seedlings were kept at 4±1 degree C for 3 h. The seedlings kept in water for 3 h, at 28±1 degree C, served as control (Seedling).
Project description:To understand the role of cytokinins (CKs) in salt stress response, we have employed transcriptional profiling of the CK-deficient mutant, ipt1,3,5,7 and wild type plant, Col-0 under high salinity and control conditions to identify genes differentially expressed in ipt1,3,5,7 under salt stress and control conditions. Agilent's Whole Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray (G2519F, V4, 4x44K) was used.
