Project description:Self-inhibition of pollen tubes plays a key role in SI, but the underlying mechanism in Camellia oleifera is poorly understood. Collection of secreted proteins from Camellia oleifera pollen tubes and ovaries for high-throughput sequencing.
Project description:We report the expression analysis of seed kernel in Camellia oleifera cultivars. In total 221 cultivars are sequenced by the Illumina sequencing experiments to obtain the gene expression profiles.
Project description:To identify the important genetic resources of tea oil accumulation and quality formation in Camellia oleifera, an important woody edible oil tree native to Southern China, we have designed and customized an expression profile chip of C. oleifera with 8×60 K on the basis of transcriptome sequencing of multiple tissue samples including kernels, roots, and leaves from multiple varieties. we used the mcroarrays to determine the gene expressions in kernel development of C. oleifera elite varieties'Huashuo' , 'Huaxin' , 'Huajin' and 'Jujian' respectively. Microarray results indicated a total of 10710 gene probes showed stable differential expression in the comparation of August vs June and 9987 in the comparation of October vs August. PATHWAY enrichment results of DEGs indicated that the oil synthesis and accumulation occured in the whole kernel development of C. oleifera, but were mainly concentrated from the nutrition high-speed synthesis period to the seed mature period, which was consistent with the variation trend of oil content and fatty acide composition in C. oleifera kernel development.

Project description:Studies on rhizosphere soil microbial diversity of Camellia oleifera
Project description:Arsenic (As) bioavailability in the rice rhizosphere is influenced by many microbial interactions, particularly by metal-transforming functional groups at the root-soil interface. This study was conducted to examine As-transforming microbes and As-speciation in the rice rhizosphere compartments, in response to two different water management practices (continuous and intermittently flooded), established on fields with high to low soil-As concentration. Microbial functional gene composition in the rhizosphere and root-plaque compartments were characterized using the GeoChip 4.0 microarray. Arsenic speciation and concentrations were analyzed in the rhizosphere soil, root-plaque, porewater and grain samples. Results indicated that intermittent flooding significantly altered As-speciation in the rhizosphere, and reduced methyl-As and AsIII concentrations in the pore water, root-plaque and rice grain. Ordination and taxonomic analysis of detected gene-probes indicated that root-plaque and rhizosphere assembled significantly different metal-transforming functional groups. Taxonomic non-redundancy was evident, suggesting that As-reduction, -oxidation and -methylation processes were performed by different microbial groups. As-transformation was coupled to different biogeochemical cycling processes establishing functional non-redundancy of rice-rhizosphere microbiome in response to both rhizosphere compartmentalization and experimental treatments. This study confirmed diverse As-biotransformation at root-soil interface and provided novel insights on their responses to water management, which can be applied for mitigating As-bioavailability and accumulation in rice grains.
Project description:Phosphate (P) fertilization impacts many rhizosphere processes, driving plant P use efficiency. However, less is known about the induced molecular and physiological root-rhizosphere traits in responses to polyphosphates (PolyP), particularly root transcriptome and belowground functional traits responsible for P acquisition. The present study aims to investigate physiological and transcriptomic belowground mechanisms explaining the enhanced durum wheat P acquisition under PolyP (PolyB and PolyC) supply. Root molecular traits were differentially expressed in response to PolyP, where PolyB induced upregulation of OGDH, MDH, and ENO, PAP21 and downregulation of PFK, and LDH genes. The modulation of gene expression can presumably explain the PolyP-induced changes in rhizosphere (root, rhizosphere soil, soil solution) acidification (pH decreased from 8 to 6.3) and acid phosphatase activities, which were concomitant with enhanced rhizosphere soil P availability and shoot Pi content (145% and 36% compared to OrthoP, respectively) along with changes in morphological and transcriptomic root (particularly, the upregulation of AUX1 and ABA transporter genes) traits. These findings provide novel insights that P acquisition from polyphosphates involves the coordinated regulation of genes governing root-rhizosphere processes and root development, ultimately enhancing wheat P acquisition.
