Project description:We present a label free proteome dataset of the vascular sap proteome of three commercially important Eucalyptus species (Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla). Protein extraction from the vascular system was carried out using a pressure bomb, in solution digested and peptides were analyzed using a Q-Exactive instrument. Protein identification was carried out using stringent database searches and only in silico predicted extracellular proteins were considered as part of the sap proteome. The results here described can be used as a reference for the proteome sap analysis of Eucalyptus plants grown under different conditions.
Project description:The daily cycle of night and day affects the behaviour and physiology of almost all living things. At the molecular level, many genes show daily changes in expression levels. To determine whether changes in transcript abundance occur in wood forming tissues of Eucalyptus trees we used a cDNA microarray to examine gene expression levels at roughly four hour intervals throughout the day. Experiments were performed using RNA extracted from two biological replicates - GU (Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla) and GC (Eucalyptus grandis x camaldulensis) trees. A loop design was used, linking six time points. A dye swap was incorporated to eliminate dye bias.
