Project description:Comparative transcriptome analysis of early interaction events in Scots pine root tissues following challenge with a pathogenic, saprophytic or symbiotic fungus. Seedlings of P. sylvestris (19 days post germination) were transferred to wet, sterile filter paper on Petri-plates. Thereafter, the roots of the seedlings were inoculated with the mycelial homogenate of either Heterobasidion annosum (FP5, P-type) a pathogenic root rot fungus which attacks Norway spruce, Scots pine and broad leaf trees or Laccaria bicolor, an obligate ectomycorrhizal symbiont or Trichoderma aureoviride- an obligate saprotroph. Thereafter, incubated for 30 minutes, during which time some hyphae adhered to the roots. The inoculated seedlings (ten) were then transferred to another wet sterile filter paper placed on 1% water agar in Petri dishes. A second set of moist sterile filter paper was laid over the roots. The region of the Petri-dish containing the roots was covered with aluminium foil and the edges of the plate sealed with parafilm. The seedlings were then incubated for 24 hr under a photoperiod of 16h light at 20 ºC. Control seedlings were ‘inoculated’ with sterile distilled water. Keywords: other

Project description:This study examined the transcriptome level attributes of a variety of Populus balsmifera tissues and organs. The tissues include seedlings grown under three light regimes, young leaves, mature leaves, roots, differentiating xylem, female catkins, and male catkins.
Project description:GmZF351 has previously been characterized as a seed preferred gene participating mainly in oil accumulation. Here we report that over-expression of GmZF351 confers drought and salt tolerance in transgenic soybean seedlings. When soybean seedlings grew to V1 stage, leaves and roots were cut for RNA sequencing. Transcriptome analysis shows that GmZF351 regulates expression of downstream genes related to abiotic stress process.
Project description:Seedlings lacking the atypical aspartic protease encoded by the gene At2g03200 exhibited shorter primary roots and a pronounced reduction in the number of lateral roots. The protease was therefore name ATYPICAL ASPARTIC PROTEASE IN ROOTS 1 (ASPR1). This project compared the root proteome of a T-DNA insertion line lacking ASPR1 with wild type seedlings.

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.
