Project description:Pulsatilla chinensis (PC) is a traditional Chinese medicinewith detoxification activities. It has been used for dysentery, vaginal trichomoniasis, bacterial infections and malignant tumor treatment. Gavage administration of PC in hyperlipidemia rats for 11 weeks resulted in obviously reduced serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and ameliorated fatty liver. So we wanted to further investigate the relationship between PC and lipid metabolism related pathways or genes

Project description:Transcription profiling by array of 10 days old Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis seedlings treated with 2mM methyl jasmonate by spraying and harvesting 48 hours past treatment
Project description:Pistacia chinensis Bunge is known as dioecious, but we have found wild monoecious individuals. In order to screen the candidate genes which may influence the sex expression or floral phenotypic differences of P. chinensis, the inflorescence buds for different sex types associated with the sex differentiation were selected and tested for small RNA sequencing. Sex-specific differentially expressed small RNA were discovered, combined with real-time PCR data, the regulation patterns of various sex types were first revealed. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of small RNA sequencing, providing more clues for understanding the mechanism of sex determination on P. chinensis.
Project description:We reported the application of high-throughput sequencing technology (RNA-seq) for the transcriptome of T. chinensis cells and the transcriptional alternatives of that responded to MeJA were comprehensively and quantitatively assessed with high-throughput sequencing technology (RNA-seq). By sequencing > 29 million reads (200 bp in length) of cDNA from each of MeJA-treated T. chinensis cells at 16 h (T16) and the control (T0), we identified 46,581 transcripts and uncovered 13,469 genes differentially expressed in response to MeJA. We provided functional clues for understanding the regulation mechanisms of MeJA-mediated defense responses and taxol biosynthesis.
