Microarray analysis of gene expression under different light conditions

ABSTRACT: The size of tomato fruits are largely dependent on growth conditions. To obtain insights on how light intensity contributes to translocation from a leaf and a fruit, we developed a plant irradiation system based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to a leaf. By using this system, we investigated the changes of transcript profiles of tomato leaves and fruits grown under different light conditions. 20 samples were analyzed (14 leaf samples and 6 pericarp samples); 2-3 biological replicates were used.

Gene-to-gene coexpression analysis provides fundamental information and is a promising approach for predicting unknown gene functions in plants. We investigated various associations in the gene expression of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to predict unknown gene functions in an unbiased manner. We obtained more than 300 microarrays from publicly available databases and our own hybridizations, and here, we present tomato coexpression networks and coexpression modules. The topological characteristi ...[more]

Project description:Gene-to-gene coexpression analysis is a powerful approach to infer function of uncharacterized genes. To perform non-targeted coexpression analysis of tomato genes, we collected a developmental gene expression dataset using various tissues of tomato plant. Expression data are collected from 24 different tissue types including root, hypocotyl, cotyledon, leaf at different stages, and fruit tissues at 4 different ripening stages from 4 different Solanum lycopersicum cultivars. Fruits were separated to the flesh and the peel. These two tissue types indeed showed remarkably different gene expression profiles. We also collected data from 4 different ripening stages (mature green, yellow, orange, and red) to detail the changes during ripening. By using this gene expression dataset, we calculated pair-wise Pearsonâs correlation coefficients, and performed network-based coexpression analysis. The analysis generated a number of coexpression modules, some of which showed an enrichment of genes associated with specific functional categories. This result will be useful in inferring functions of uncharacterized tomato genes, and in prioritizing genes for further experimental analysis. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Tomato genome Arrays to detail the global gene expression change using 24 different tomato tissue types (67 hybridizations). We collected gene expression data from 24 different tomato tissue types using 67 hybridizations. Root, hypocotyl, cotyledon, and leaf were sampled from 3-week-old or 5-weekâold plant of Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Micro-Tom. Fruit tissues were sampled from S. lycopersicum cultivars Micro-Tom, Anthocyanin fruit (Aft, LA1996), Line27859, and Momotaro 8 (Takii, Japan). From Micro-Tom fruit, the peel and the flesh were separately sampled from 4 different ripening stages: mature green (MG, approximately 30 day after anthesis), yellow (Y, approximately 35 days after anthesis), orange (O, approximately 38-40 days after anthesis), and red (R, approximately 45-48 days after anthesis). From fruits of Aft and Line27859, the peel and the flesh were sampled at mature green (MG, approximately 40 days after anthesis) and red (R, approximately 50-55 days after anthesis) stages. From Momotaro 8, the peel and the flesh were sampled at red (R, 50- approximately 50-55 days after anthesis) stages. For each tissue type, 2-4 biological replicates were made in RNA preparation.

Project description:Tomato seeds (S. lycopersicum ‘Fl Lanai’) were germinated under greenhouse conditions maintained at 24°C-29°C in flat trays (BWI Apopka, Catalog Number GPPF72S7X) filled with Sungro Horticulture soil (Metro-mix 830, BWI Apopka, Cat# TX830). Two weeks post emergence seedlings were transplanted to 4” pots using the same soil and transferred to a Conviron walk-in growth chamber (CMP6060) for the remainder of the experiment. Conviron conditions include a 14h/10h light/dark cycle maintained at 28°C, and plants were fertilized weekly (20-20-20). To prevent cross contamination, tomato plants were confined to insect proof cages at all times (BioQuip 1450NS68). Four weeks after transplanting, 40 whiteflies (B. tabaci MEAM1) were collected from virus free or Tomato Mottle Virus (ToMoV) established colonies via aspiration and moved into a clip cage placed on the 4th true leaf of each tomato plant as previously described38. Whiteflies were reared cabbage (Brassica oleracea), while viruliferous whiteflies were reared on ToMoV infected tomato from colonies established in the Polston lab. For all plants in this study, feeding was halted after 3 days of whitefly feeding (3 DPI) by gentle removal of clip cages and whitefly termination using insecticidal soap (Garden Safe, 1% of potassium salts of fatty acids). For the samples referred to as “local”, the tomato leaf bound within the clip cages was immediately removed and snap frozen for protein extraction. For the samples designated “systemic”, the plants were allowed to continue growing for 7 additional days after clip cage removal and whitefly termination, at which point the 9th leaf was excised and snap frozen. Plants used for collection of local leaves at 3 DPI were not used for the collection of systemic leaves 10 DPI. For both local and systemic leaves collected, we also included a no treatment control (NTC) that was subjected identically to clip cage and insecticidal soap applications, but without the addition of whitefly or ToMoV. Our experiment therefore consists of a no-treatment control (NTC), a whitefly treatment (+WF), and a viruliferous whitefly (+WFV) treatment for both local (4th true leaf, 3 DPI) and systemic leaves (9th true leaf, 10 DPI). The presence of ToMoV in all infected plants was confirmed via Nanopore sequencing. Briefly, Tomato genomic DNA was extracted from five systemic leaf samples using the PureGene tissue DNA isolation kit (product # 158667; QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA), following the manufacturer’s protocol and stored at -80°C until needed. Library preparation was performed using the Rapid Sequencing Kit RBK004 protocol (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) and loaded onto a 9.4.1 flow cell in a MinION connected to a MinIT with live base calling enabled. Resulting sequencing reads for each sample were mapped to both ToMoV A component (GenBank accession: L14460) and ToMoV B component (GenBank accession: L14461) sequences.
