Project description:We use Solanum dulcamara subjected to drought or flooding and damaged by Spodoptera exigua to analyze such interactions at multiple levels. Drought and herbivory caused comparable effects on S. dulcamara physiological response, which was reflected by a considerable overlap in S. dulcamara transcriptomic profiles. This included many defense responses and genes involved in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites that were induced by drought and herbivory but repressed by flooding. Furthermore, combination of drought and herbivory additively induced a part of these herbivore-induced responses suggesting that drought-stressed plants were more resistant. Our study provides concrete evidence of how abiotic stresses differentially affect the plant complex hormonal interactions to fine-tune plant responses to insects.
Project description:Flooding and drought are adverse factors for soybean growth. To obtain better insight into the response mechanism of soybean under flooding and drought stresses, organ specificanalysis was performed using gel-free proteomic technique.
Project description:To decipher stress responses under flooding and drought as well as flooding-tolerant mechanisms in soybean, the mathematic biological approach of simulation model was applied. Furthermore, wild-type soybean with ABA treatment and flooding-tolerant mutant line, which displayed flooding tolerance, were used as the flooding-tolerant materials. Proteins acquired by gel-free/label-free proteomic technique were used for simulation model of responses under different stresses and flooding tolerant.
Project description:As a stresses sensitive crop, this study will give some clues to enhance soybean tolerance of flooding and drought stresses. To uncover the response mechanisms occurring in the ER triggered by flooding and drought, ER proteomics was performed using gel-free/label-free proteomic approach. Besides, glycoproteomics was also producted to investigate the ER funtion in glycoprotein synthesis under stresses
Project description:To elucidate the mechanism of soybean responding to flooding and drought, organ specific proteomics and time course proteomics were carried out.
Project description:Experiment was designed to compare the transcriptomic response of wild type and h1.3 Arabidopsis plants (Ler) to combined low light and drought conditions. H1.3 is highly upregulated by these experimental conditions
Project description:It is the study to investigate the growth and transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to submergence or flooding with physical flow.
Project description:Transcriptome response of avocado roots subjected to flooding, infection by the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi or a combination of both. Analysis was carried out at two time-points. Aim was to identify important genes in response to these stresses.
Project description:Grafting is a well-established practice for grapevine to facilitate propagation of productive and tolerant cultivars against several stress factors. It is also considered to be a suitable method for studying molecular aspects of root-to-shoot and/or shoot-to-root signaling events. So far, controlling only effect of rootstock over scion was investigated and root-to-shoot transcriptomic alterations were fallowed on the scions or graft interfaces. The objective of this study was to investigate transcriptomic and physiological influence of scion on the rootstock under drought stress. Therefore, drought tolerant 110R rootstock were firstly grafted with sultana seedless and tested under drought stress with its non-grafted counterpart. The results of treatment indicated that grafted 110R performed the highest root elongation under drought. We carried out a microarray based transcriptome analysis on the roots of grafted and non-grafted 110R to explain this drought derived interaction through scion-to-rootstock. The highest expression increase under drought was recorded for sugar (SWEET) and nitrate or di/tri-peptide (NRT1/ PTR FAMILY) transporter proteins. Expression level of these genes was more highly increased in grafted 110R than its non-grafted counterpart. This situation indicated their potential role in drought tolerance and scion/rootstock harmony. Overexpression of these transporters attributed to increased amount of released nutrient and nitrogen source from abscised leaves of sultana seedless under drought. Remobilization of these rich sources was suggested to chance transcriptomic response of rootstocks and enabled much better growth in grafted 110R. Other transcripts annotated to cell wall modification enzymes (chitinases), osmoregulator proteins (dehydrins, proline-glycine rich proteins) and secondary metabolites (stilbene synthase) were also more highly induced in grafted 110R. This is the first report indicating transcriptomic influence of scion on the grapevine rootstocks and representing the genes responsible in scion/rootstock harmony and drought tolerance.
