Project description:Investigation of annual transcriptome dynamics of Japanese cedar cuttings planted in three regions (Yamagata, Ibaraki and Kumamoto, Japan).
Project description:Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is an allogamous coniferous species that relies on wind-mediated pollen and seed dispersal, and it is one of the most important forestry tree species in Japan. For accelerating breeding, we collected massive SNPs based on ESTs from several organs using NGS, and thus carried out QTL, GWAS and GS based on high-density linkage maps.

Project description:To investigate the mechanism of annual rhythms in Japanese cedar, annual time series samples were collected from the cuttings planted in natural condition. Also, to investigate the effects of photoperiod and temperature during transition to dormancy, the samples of cuttings grown in the controlled-environmental chamber were analyzed by a microarray.
