Project description:The following study was conducted to better understand the genetic response of maize roots to nitrate availability. To do so, an array was designed and created by the Plant Sciences Institute at Iowa State University. This custom array contained 7,888 informative spots of cDNA obtained from NSF Plant Genome EST projects led by Ginny Walbot and Pat Schnable. RNA was collected from root tissue at two time points: 30 minutes and 24 hours. At each time point, transcript profiles were compared between root tissues treated with 5mM calcium nitrate and controls treated with 5mM calcium sulfate. Keywords: Nutrient response in maize roots
Project description:Large White and Meishan pigs were either non-treated or injected with mammalian 1-24 ACTH (Immediate Synachten, Novartis France) at the dose of 250 µg per animal. Pigs were sacrificed either immediately after capture from their home cage (non-treated animals) or 1 hour following ACTH injection. Adrenal glands were immediately collected from pigs and frozen on dry ice and then stored at -80°C until RNA isolation. Keywords: stress response, adrenal, gene expression, pig
