Project description:Understanding the regulation of bud dormancy–activity transition is critical for annual bud production and high-quality cultivation of Toona sinensis. Here, we report a comparative transcriptomic analysis of dormant and actively growing buds. Transcriptome profiling identified 3,779 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were significantly enriched in key pathways such as ribosome, photosynthesis-antenna proteins, plant hormone signal transduction, and MAPK signaling pathway. Additionally, 327 DEGs were classified as transcription factors (TFs) belonging to 48 families, including NAC, AP2/ERF, MYB-related, bZIP, and WRKY. Our data provide a molecular framework for understanding the integrated regulatory network involving phytohormone signaling, ribosome biogenesis, photosynthetic activity, and transcription factor cascades that governs bud dormancy–activity transition in Toona sinensis.
Project description:Toona sinensis, a medicinal and edible plant, holds economic and ecological significance in Asia. Despite its diverse applications, the genetic basis of leaf color formation remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying color variations across three cultivars (red, brown, green) at different developmental stages. Young tender leaflets from apical tips and fully expanded leaflets from basal positions of the same compound leaf were collected for RNA-Seq analysis.
Project description:We investigate the global miRNA expression profile of An. sinensis using illumine Hiseq 2000 sequencing.The annotation and prediction of miRNAs lays the foundation for the further functional study of An. sinensis miRNAs and will facilitate their application in vector control.

Project description:Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc., a complex of larval carcass (sclerotium) and stroma formed by the fungus of Hirsutella sinensis infecting Hepialidae insect larvae, whose fruiting body is also the main fungal structure used for taxonomic identification. However, the induction of fruiting body is still inefficient and the high cost resulting in the large-scale artificial cultivation of this fungus has been unsuccessful in China.In this study,important factors and target genes associated with the fruiting body induction during the development of O. sinensis were identified, providing a basic molecular mechanism for facilitating the large-scale artificial cultivation of O. sinensis.
