Project description:In the family Fagaceae, fertilization is delayed by several weeks to more than one year after pollination, leading to one- or two-year fruiting species depending on whether fruiting occurs in the same or the next year of flowering. Although delayed fertilization was recorded over a century ago, underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. To uncover the key genes associated with delayed fertilization, we obtain and analyze the comparative molecular phenology data over two years in one-year (Quercus glauca) and two-year fruiting species (Lithocarpus edulis).
Project description:This study examines the proteomic responses in tissues of etiolated Sorghum bicolor BTx623 seedlings to salt stress (100 mM NaCl). The aim of the experiment is to investigate the induction and posssible role of Membrane Steroid Binding Protein 1 to salt tolerance in Sorghum.
Project description:Parallel Analysis of RNA Ends (PARE) sequencing reads were generated to validate putative microRNAs and identify cleavage sites in Sorghum bicolor and Setaria viridis.
Project description:Transcript profiling of leaves from Quercus ilex seedlings subjected to well-watering and drought-stress (irrigation withdrawal) conditions
Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Meliniomyces bicolor mycorrhizal roots compared to free-living mycelium . Mycorrhizal roots and control mycelium were harvested after 113 days and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 150bp were generated and aligned to Meliniomyces bicolor transcripts (https://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Melbi2/Melbi2.home.html) using CLC Genomics Workbench 8.
