Project description:We analyzed global gene expression in the crown tip of 2 pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) inbred lines with high (line 249) and low (line 220) root soil aggregation using RNAseq. The obtective was to identify genes potentially associated with changes in rhizosheath formation.
Project description:We analysed global gene expression in the primary root tip of 2 pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) inbred lines with high (line 249) and low (line 337) primary root growth using RNAseq. The objective was to identify genes potentially associated with changes in root growth.
Project description:Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is a cereal crop well-adapted to arid and high-temperature environments. Its root system exhibits a high degree of complexity, comprising distinct root types with specific anatomical and functional characteristics. These include the primary root, which is established during embryogenesis; crown roots, which develop at the base of the stem post-embryonically; and lateral roots, which emerge from both the primary and crown roots. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of gene expression profiles across these distinct root types to better understand their functional specialization.
Project description:The aim of this project was to test the effect of seed priming with silicon, seaweed extract or both to alleviate the drought stress in Pennisetum glaucum.
Project description:We mapped quantitative trait loci for genome-wide gene expression (eQTL) in juvenile, reproductive and senescent C. elegans recombinant inbred lines, to determine heritable transcript dynamics
Project description:An ultra-high density accurate linkage map for a set of maize RILs was constructed using a GBS strategy. This map will facilitate identification of genes and exploration of QTL for complex architecture in maize. It will also be helpful for further research into the mechanisms that control complex architecture while also providing a basis for marker-assisted selection
Project description:Global transcriptome profiling of leaf tissue from 100 RILs. All plants were field-grown and infected with GLS. Objective was to carry out systems genetics of the transcriptional responses to GLS, by overlaying results obtained from co-expression correlation analysis, eQTL analysis and QTL analysis.
