Project description:Transcriptome analysis was performed on the rhizome tissues of Atractylodes macrocephala under different treatments. The four treatments were: sterile water irrigation alone, FS root irrigation, FS and AM201 root irrigation, and FS combined with methyltobuzin (TM) root irrigation. And the differential genes between AM201 and FO groups were identified and compared, which helps to reveal the resistance mechanism of AM201 to Atractylodes macrocephala root rot disease
Project description:Ammonium nutrition was studied at short times (24 hours) in roots from one month-old seedlings of maritime pine. Control seedlings were irrigated with 80 mL of water (C) and the experimental seedlings with 80 mL of 3 mM NH4Cl. Root samples were collected at 24 hours post-irrigation and immediately frozen in liquid N. This experiment was carried out three independent times.
Project description:A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted at experimental station. Drought treatment was conducted after transplanting for 10 days. seedlings were subjected to stress for about 20 days withholding irrigation until SMC was reduced to around 8%. The third full expanded leaves from the top were used for proteomic experiment. Fresh leaves were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen separately and stored at -80 °C for protein extraction.
Project description:ATH1 GeneChip was used for gene expression analysis of wild-type plants and dor mutant under drought treatment (both the wild-type and dor plants were grown under normal watering conditions for 24 days and then stressed by completely depriving of irrigation for 10 days). Two biological repeat experiments were conducted and the raw data was analyzed applying Affymetrix GCOS software. Experiment Overall Design: ATH1 GeneChip was used for gene expression analysis of wild-type plants and dor mutant under drought treatment (both the wild-type and dor plants were grown under normal watering conditions for 24 days and then stressed by completely depriving of irrigation for 10 days).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of three mexican maize landraces under 10, and 17 days stress and recovery irrigation A dye balanced modified loop design was implemented. Two biological replicates (pooling five representative plants) representing each sampling point for each genotype were obtained for purified RNA from 120 randomly chosen seedlings. This experiment involved a total of forty-eight (24 sets) of microarray hybridizations, including direct and dye swap comparisons between treatments as well as across the three landraces. This design allowed us to determine differences in gene expression between the three different landraces under drought stress (10 and 17 days) and at recovery irrigation compared to irrigated controls.
Project description:Transcript profiling of leaves from Quercus ilex seedlings subjected to well-watering and drought-stress (irrigation withdrawal) conditions
Project description:Changes in gene expression during berry development during a grape growing season were analysed. The effect on gene expression of different viticultural practises during grape berry development was investigated in this study by comparing two irrigation methods (standard versus prolonged deficit irrigation). Grape berries were collected and pooled on a weekly basis to obtaining a developmental series comprising of 17 developmental stages from flowering until harvest across the grape growing season for both standard and prolonged deficit irrigated vines. Gene expression patterns during development and between pruning treatments were obtained. Keywords: Time course, developmental series and treatments
Project description:The rapid expansion of fast-growing plantations in subtropical regions is closely linked to dry-season irrigation and fertilization; however, improper practices often lead to soil acidification and reduced nutrient bioavailability. Phosphorus (P), one of the most critical elements for plantation tree growth, shows complex spatial distribution patterns in soil that are influenced by multiple factors, directly affecting plantation productivity. This study investigated the effects of long-term fertilization and dry-season irrigation on the vertical distribution of phosphorus in an 8-year-old subtropical Eucalyptus plantation. This study employed stratified sampling (0–30 cm topsoil, 30–60 cm subsoil, 60–90 cm substratum) during dry seasons, coupled with metagenomics, metabolomics, and environmental factor analysis, to reveal vertical phosphorus cycling patterns and multiomics regulatory networks. Key findings: (1) Fertilization and dry-season irrigation had a limited influence on labile phosphorus and the diversity of P-cycling microorganisms. The topsoil presented significantly greater P availability than did the subsoil, manifested as elevated acid phosphatase activity (ACP), significant enrichment of the tryptophan metabolic pathway, and greater microbial diversity. (2) pH and the C:P ratio represent critical factors of vertical stratification in soil P cycling. Under acidic conditions, topsoil microorganisms facilitate P release via diverse metabolic pathways, whereas oligotrophic constraints in the substratum limit enzymatic activities. (3) We believe that potential cross-stratum microbial functional coordination exists in acidic soil P cycling, with linkages to tryptophan metabolism and polyP synthesis/degradation. Our study provides theoretical multiomics insights for optimizing the management of soil P pools in subtropical plantations under fertilization and dry-season irrigation.
