Project description:Smilax glabra Roxb, a traditional Chinese herb, has been widely used for folk medicine. Previous studies have found that it has various pharmacological activities, such as cytotoxic, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective, and cardiovascular system protective activities. However, its roles in adipogenesis are poorly understood. We hypothesized that Smilax glabra Roxb and its main component may play important roles in regulating adipocyte diffrentiation and function. To test this hypothesis, we performed RNA-Seq on 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with and without pure total flavonoids from Smilax glabra Roxb.

Project description:Raw Reads Data used for Smilax glabra Roxb Chloroplast Genome Assembling
Project description:The coordination of chloroplast and nuclear genome status are critical for plant cell function, but the mechanism remain largely unclear. In this study, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana CHLOROPLAST AND NUCLEUS DUAL-LOCALIZED PROTEIN 1 (CND1) maintains genome stability in both the chloroplast and the nucleus.
Project description:The regulator for chloroplast biogenesis (rcb) mutant was identified as a mutant defective in phytochrome-mediated chloroplast biogenesis. The rcb mutant has long hypocotyl and albino phenotypes. RCB initiates chloroplast biogenesis in the nucleus by promoting the degradation of the master repressors for chloroplast biogenesis, the PIFs (Phytochrome Interacting Factors). To understand how RCB regulates the expression of PIF-regulated genes, we performed genome-wide expression analysis of RCB-dependent genes using a rcb-10 null allele.
