Project description:Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to identify genes changed in tea plant cultivar Zhongcha 108 upon Colletotrichum camelliae infection. The goal of the work is to find interesting genes involved in tea plant in response to fungi infection. The object is to reveal the molecular mechanism of tea plant defense.
Project description:Solexa sequencing technology was used to perform high throughput sequencing of the small RNA library from the cold treatment of tea leaves. Subsequently, aligning these sequencing date with plant known miRNAs, we characterized 112 C. sinensis conserved miRNAs. In addition, 215 potential candidate miRNAs were found; among them, 131 candidates with star sequence were chosen as novel miRNAs. There are both congruously and differently regulated miRNAs, and line-specific miRNAs were identified by microarray-based hybridization in response to cold stress. The miRNA chip included 3228 miRNA probes corresponding to miRNA transcripts listed in Sanger miRBase release 19.0 and 283 novel miRNAs probes founding in tea plant. In the study presented here, two tea plant cultivars, ‘Yingshuang’ (YS, a cold-tolerant tea plant cultivar) and ‘Baiye 1’ (BY, a cold-sensitive tea plant cultivar), were kept at 4°C for 4,12, 24 h, respectively, and 28°C for as control. These samples were used to acquire expression profiles of a total of 3,511 unique genes, leading to the successful construction of supervised

Project description:Whole genome sequencing of bacterial endophytes associated with early surface seed sterilization of fresh field cucumber
Project description:Two potato cultivars, Russet Burbank and Bionta, were inoculated with three different endophytes containing different AHL types. The impact of the endophytes to the different cultivars was measured by gene expression analysis with a customized microarray B. phytofirmans type strain PsJN was originally isolated as a contaminant from surface-sterilized, Glomus vesculiferum-infected onion roots (Nowak et al., 1998), whereas strain P6 RG6-12 was isolated from the rhizosphere of a grassland in the Netherlands (Salles et al., 2006). This strain was selected based on its similarity to strain PsJN based on 16S rRNA gene homology, and similar phenotypic features. Both strains were generally cultivated on King's medium (King et al., 1954). For the mutant AHL to the strain B. phytofirmans PsJN a quorum quenching approach as described by Wopperer et al., 2006 was employed. Plasmid pMLBAD-aiiA, which contains aiiA, the Bacillus sp. 240B1 lactonase gene, was transferred to B. phytofirmans PsJN by triparental mating as described by de Lorenzo and Timmis (1994). 2 cultivars, 3 endophytes

Project description:EGCG, as an active oxygen scavenger, has a significant effect on inhibiting the greasiness of apples. However, the impact of greasiness on fruit storage and how EGCG eliminates this effect, as well as its influence on apple quality formation, have not been clarified. In this study, we found that exogenous application of EGCG effectively improved a series of nutritional growth indicators, including seedling growth status and photosynthetic activity. Additionally, it significantly increased indicators of reproductive growth, such as fruit diameter, soluble solids content, surface wax, and surface smoothness. Through our experiments, we further discovered that greasiness primarily affects fruit respiration, accelerating fruit decay and causing harm during storage, while EGCG mitigates this process. We also found that the application of tea residue had similar effects to exogenous EGCG. Collectively, these studies suggest that EGCG could be used as a novel foliar fertilizer to enhance overall fruit quality. Moreover, the application of tea residue has similar effects to EGCG, providing a cost-effective solution for apple production.
Project description:Anthracnose disease is caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and is common in leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been known as key modulators of gene expression in defense responses; however, the role of miRNAs in tea plant during defensive responses to C. gloeosporioides remains unexplored. Six miRNA sequencing data sets and two degradome data sets were generated from C. gloeosporioides-inoculated and control tea leaves. A total of 485 conserved and 761 novel miRNAs were identified. Of those, 239 known and 369 novel miRNAs exhibited significantly differential expression under C. gloeosporioides stress. 1134 and 596 mRNAs were identified as targets of 389 and 299 novel and conserved miRNAs by degradome analysis, respectively. The expression levels of twelve miRNAs and their targets were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. The predicted targets of five interesting miRNAs were further validated through 5'RLM-RACE. Furthermore, Gene Ontology and metabolism pathway analysis revealed that most of the target genes were involved in translation, carbohydrate metabolism and signal transduction pathways. This study enriches the resources of defense-responsive miRNAs and their targets in C. sinensis, and thus, provides novel insights into the miRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms underlying immunity responses to biotic stress in tea plant.
