Project description:Transcription profiling of Physcomitrella patens Reute strain gametophore, mature sporophyte and spore stage. These samples are part of an large-scale expression data set for the model moss Physcomitrella patens.
Project description:comparison of gene expression between UV-B irradiated Physcomitrella patens gametophores with their non-irradiated controls in two different UV irradiation fields.
Project description:Temperature reduction is a common environmental stress for plants. Land plants need to cope with cold stress on the basis of complex transcriptional and metabolic changes. The transcriptional responses and signaling networks that contribute to cold acclimation of seed plants have been analyzed previously. Here, we present the whole-genome transcriptomic cold stress response of the model moss species Physcomitrella patens as the representative of an early diverged lineage of haploid-dominant and poikilohydric land plants On the basis of time-series microarray experiments we characterized transcriptomic changes related to early stress signaling and the initiation of cold-acclimatory mechanisms, and as secondary effects, of dehydration and oxidative stress.
Project description:In dairy ruminants transcriptome profiling has enabled the identification of genes, pathways and regulatory networks activated in mammary tissues during experimental infection by various pathogens, including E. coli, S. aureus and S. uberis. Information in goats are still low and many host-pathogen interaction mechanisms have to be explained. The objectives of the present study were (1) to identify the network of genes that becomes activated in caprine blood and milk somatic cells in early response towards a S. aureus challenge in order to better understand the local and sistemic response and (2) to search any difference in this immune response by using two animal groups belonging to a caprine reference family established based on founders with adverse SCC breeding values. Udders from ten healthy French Alpine goats were infected with S. aureus and samples of blood and milk cells were collected at 0, 24 and 30 hours after infection. Alterations in the transcriptome profile were investigated using a custom bovine DNA microarray containing 43.822 unique gene probes.
