Project description:The male sterility of a wheat thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) line is strictly controlled by temperature. We used microarrays to identify genes that play pivotal roles in anthers during cold-stress hypersensitivity.
Project description:The male sterility of a wheat thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) line is strictly controlled by temperature. We used microarrays to identify genes that play pivotal roles in anthers during cold-stress hypersensitivity. The expression of genes in response to different temperature treatment were analyzed for anthers of BS366.
Project description:The male sterility of thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum) is strictly controlled by temperature. The early phase of anther development is especially susceptible to cold stress. MicroRNAs (miRNA) play an important role in plant development and in responses to environmental stress. In this study, deep sequencing of small RNA (smRNA) libraries obtained from spike tissues of the TGMS line under cold and control conditions identified a total of 81 unique miRNA sequences from 30 families, and trans-acting small interfering RNAs (tasiRNAs) derived from two TAS3 genes. To identify smRNA targets in the wheat TGMS line, we applied the degradome sequencing method, which globally and directly identifies the remnants of smRNA-directed target cleavage. We identified 26 targets of 16 miRNA families and three targets of tasiRNAs. Comparing smRNA sequencing datasets and TaqMan qPCR results, we identified six miRNAs and one tasiRNA (tasiRNA-ARF) as cold stress-responsive smRNAs in spike tissues of the TGMS line. We also determined the expression profiles of target genes that encode transcription factors in response to cold stress. Interestingly, expressions of cold-stress responsive smRNAs integrated in the auxin-signaling pathway and their target genes were largely anticorrelated. We investigated tissue-specific expression of smRNAs using a tissue microarray approach. Our data indicated that miR167 and tasiRNA-ARF play roles in regulating the auxin-signaling pathway, and possibly in the developmental response to cold stress. These data provide evidence that smRNA regulatory pathways are linked with male sterility in the TGMS line during cold stress.

Examination of 2 mRNA degradome libraries in spike tissues during cold and control condition
Project description:To examine the role of formation of a strong sink during leaf senescence, we compared the expression profile of the flag leaf of three different sterile mutant lines with fertile plants. The fertile and sterile lines showed basically similar expression profiles of flag leaves sampled at the same time. However, the fertile lines showed more rapid and enhanced change in transcriptome as compared to the sterile lines indicating that leaf senescence initiated independent of sink formation and is accelerated by sink formation.
Project description:we performed transcript profiling of male sterile and fertile buds from a multiple-allele inherited male sterile AB line using the Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform and analyzed differential gene expression at the transcriptional level.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA from fertile and sterile flowers growing V. macrocephalum f. keteleeri inflorescence using the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform to generate the first transcriptome dynamics that may serve as a gene expression profile blueprint for sterile and fertile flowers differentiation and development in flowering plant.
