Project description:We present an atlas of global gene expression covering embryo and seed coat development in B. rapa, B. nigra, B. oleracea, B. juncea, B. napus and B. carinata, providing insights into the evolution of gene expression in embryogenesis and seed development of brassica species.
Project description:Analysis of the different gene expression profiles of natural and resynthesized Brassica polyploids with Illumina deep sequencing technology could help to improve our knowledge of polyploid genome evolution. We obtained approximately 6 million sequence tags per sample,and 6018254, 5930726, 6022170, 5950123, 5991210, 5798939, 5823113, 5772449,5858527 and 5657697 clean tags were obtained in libraries of B. rapa, B. oleracea, B. napus-F1, B. napus-F2, B. napus-F3, B. napus-F4, natural B. napus, B. nigra, B. juncea and B. carinata, respectively.16574, 15970, 22059, 18155, 16479, 18196, 17448, 13867, 19424 and 16645 genes of B. rapa genome were unambigously mapped by sequence tags of these ten DGE libraries, respectively. Differentially expressed genes during polyploidization were broadly discovered by comparing the tetraploids with their progenitors.

Differentially expressed genes during polyploidization were broadly discovered by comparing the tetraploids with their progenitors. mRNA obtained from young leaves of 28-days-old seedlings were compared during polyploidization.
Project description:477 spring-type Brassica napus (canola) lines from a hybrid breeding programme were genotyped using the Brassica Infinium™ 60k genotyping array.
Project description:Successful pollination brings together the mature pollen grain and stigma papilla to initiate an intricate series of molecular processes meant to eventually enable sperm cell delivery for fertilization and reproduction. At maturity, the pollen and stigma cells have acquired proteomes comprising the primary molecular effectors required upon their meeting. In Brassica species, knowledge of the roles and global composition of these proteomes is largely lacking. To address this gap, gel-free shotgun proteomics was performed on the mature pollen and stigma of Brassica carinata, a representative of the Brassica family and its many crop species (e.g. B. napus, B. oleracea, B. rapa), which holds considerable potential as a bio-industrial crop. 5608 and 7703 B. carinata mature pollen and stigma proteins were identified, respectively. The pollen and stigma proteomes were found to reflect not only their many common functional and developmental objectives, but also important differences underlying their cellular specialization. Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) was exploited in the first analysis of a developing Brassicaceae stigma, and uncovered 251 B. carinata proteins that were differentially abundant during stigma maturation, providing insight into proteins involved in the initial phases of pollination.
Project description:Background: Auxin/Indoleacetic acid (Aux/IAA) genes participate in the auxin signaling pathway and play key roles in plant growth and development. Although the Aux/IAA gene family has been identified in many plants, within allotetraploid Brassica napus little is known. Results: In this study, a total of 119 Aux/IAA genes were found in the genome of B. napus. They were distributed non-randomly across all 19 chromosomes and other non-anchored random scaffolds, with a symmetric distribution in the A and C subgenomes. Evolutionary and comparative analysis revealed that 111 (94.1%) B. napus Aux/IAA genes were multiplied due to ancestral Brassica genome triplication and recent allotetraploidy from B. rapa and B. oleracea. Phylogenetic analysis indicated seven subgroups containing 29 orthologous gene sets and two Brassica-specific gene sets. Structures of genes and proteins varied across different genes but were conserved among homologous genes in B. napus. Furthermore, analysis of transcriptional profiles revealed that the expression patterns of Aux/IAA genes in B. napus were tissue dependent. Auxin-responsive elements tend to be distributed in the proximal region of promoters, and are significantly associated with early exogenous auxin up-regulation. Conclusions: The Aux/IAA gene family were identified and analyzed comprehensively in the allotetraploid B. napus genome. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of diversification of Aux/IAA gene family and will facilitate further dissection of Aux/IAA gene function in B. napus.
Project description:This study investigates the proteomic response of Brassica species to lead (Pb) stress. The proteomic profiles of Brassica juncea and Brassica napus were compared under both Pb-exposed and control conditions to identify key proteins associated with Pb tolerance mechanisms. Additionally, the extent of Pb toxicity in these species was assessed. The findings provide valuable insights into the molecular basis of Pb stress response and offer potential strategies for enhancing Pb tolerance in crop plants.
Project description:Transcription profiling of Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea and Brassica napus I and II The nuclear genomes of the resynthesised B. napus lines should be identical but, as one (B. napus I) involved a cross of B. oleracea onto B. rapa, and the other (B. napus II) involved a cross of B rapa onto B. oleracea, they differ in cytoplasm, and hence contain different chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes.
