Project description:Transcriptional profiling of wheat embryos of developing seed comparing seeds grown at low temperature:13˚C with seeds grown at high temperature:25˚C during seed development using wheat 2 cultivars: Norin61 (N61) and Shiroganekomugi (SK). Goal was to determine the effects of temperature on global gene expression.
Project description:Wheat seed dormancy is released by after-ripening, and germination and seminal root growth of after-ripened/non-dormant seeds can be inhibited by treatment with exogenous ABA. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array to detail transcriptional programs affected by after-ripening of dormant seeds and imbibition of after-ripened seeds in ABA.

Goal was to determine the effects of temperature on global gene expression. Two-condition experiment, Low(13˚C) vs. high (25˚C) temperatures during seed development. Time course experiments along with days after anthesis (DAA).
Project description:Wheat seed germination and seminal root growth can be inhibited by treatment with exogenous ABA We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array to detail transcriptional programs affected by ABA during imbibition After-ripened seeds imbibed in ABA for 24 h were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChip. After-ripened seeds were generated by storing dormant seeds at room temperature for 10 months.
Project description:Global warming has become a critical challenge to food safety, causing severe yield losses of major crops worldwide. Here, we report that the endophytic bacterium Enterobacter sp. SA187 induces thermotolerance of crops in a sustainable manner. Microbiome diversity of wheat plants is positively influenced by SA187 in open field agriculture, indicating that beneficial microbes can be a powerful tool to enhance agriculture in open field agriculture.
Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of maintenance of dormancy induced by seed development temperature We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array to detail transcriptional programs underlying maintenance of dormancy induced by seed development tempearture in imbibing seeds of wheat
Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of the embryo and endosperm tissue of maturing wheat seeds of two geneotypes, namely AC Domain and RL4452, was performed We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array to detail transcriptional programs and regulatory networks underlying seed maturation/desiccation in wheat
Project description:Root foraging strategy of wheat for potassium (K) heterogeneity is based on special gene expressions. Low-K responsive genes, such as peroxidases, mitochondrion, transcription factor activity, calcium ion binding and respiration, up-regulated in Sp. NK rather than in Sp. LK. Methyltransferase activity, protein amino acid phosphorylation, potassium ion transport, protein kinase activity genes were found among down-regulated genes in Sp. LK. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying wheat root foraging strategy and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process.
Project description:After-ripening induced seed dormancy release in wheat is associated with mRNA oxidation. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array to identify mRNAs differentially oxidized by after-ripening Dormant and after-ripened seeds in dry state were used for isolating oxidized mRNAs and hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChip. After-ripened seeds were generated by storing dormant seeds at room temperature for 10 months.
