Project description:To understand the downstream genes of TCP13, we performed analysis of gene expression using vector control plants and the TCP13 fused repression domain plants (TCP13pro::TCP13SRDX) . TheTCP13pro::TCP13SRDX plants is transgenic plants expressing chimeric repressor (SRDX) fused to TCP13 cDNA using the TCP13 promoter. TCP13 is a drought-inducible gene and play an essential role in leaf morphology. Arabidopsis plants were grown on the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962), supplemented with 3% sucrose and 0.8 % agar (under a 16-h-day (60 ± 10 μmol photons m−2 s−1 light intensity) and 8-h-night regime for 2 weeks.
Project description:Goal of the study is to characterize distinct function(s) of two cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS) in rice plants. We grew rice lacking GS1;1 and GS1;2 under the ammonium sufficient condition. We harvested roots from the two mutants as well as those of the corresponding control.
Project description:To characterize plant HS-responsive genes, the transcriptome analysis of rice was conducted using microarray. Arabidopsis plants were grown in plastic pots filled with peat moss for 3 weeks (principal growth stage 1.07â1.08) under a 16 h light/8 h dark photoperiod (50 ± 10 μmol photons mâ2 sâ1) at 22°C, and were treated for 30 min at 37°C.
Project description:To characterize plant heat stress-responsive genes and to clarify the heat stress-responsive transcription pathways, the transcriptome analysis of rice was conducted using microarray. Rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) were grown in plastic pots filled with nutrient soil for 2 weeks with a 12 h light (28°C)/12 h dark (25°C) regimen (ca. 1500 μmol photons mâ2 sâ1) and were treated for 30 min at 42°C.
Project description:To characterize heat stress-responsive genes and to clarify the heat stress-responsive transcription pathways, transcriptome analysis of soybean was conducted using microarray. Soybean (Glycine max cv. Williams82) were grown in plastic pots filled with nutrient soil for 2 weeks with a 12 h light (28°C)/12 h dark (25°C) regimen (ca. 1500 μmol photons mâ2 sâ1) and were treated for 30 min at 42°C.
Project description:To characterize plant heat stress-responsive genes and to clarify the heat stress-responsive transcription pathways, the transcriptome analysis of maize was conducted using microarray. Maize (Zea mays cv. B73) were grown in plastic pots filled with nutrient soil for 2 weeks with a 12 h light (28°C)/12 h dark (25°C) regimen (ca. 1500 μmol photons mâ2 sâ1) and were treated for 30 min at 42°C.

Project description:To understand the Abscisic Acid (ABA) signaling in response to dehydration stress, we performed analysis of gene expression using Arabidopsis wild-type plants and the nced3-2 mutant under dehydration stress. The nced3-2 mutant is an Arabidopsis T-DNA tagged knock-out mutant of the NCED3 gene, which has an essential role in dehydration-inducible ABA biosynthesis. Arabidopsis plants were grown in in soil (verdenite 40 mmΦ, Verde Co., Ltd., Kanagawa, Japan) in a cell strainer (Falcon, 40 μm; Corning Inc., NY, USA). Plants were grown at 22°C for 3 weeks under illumination (40â60 μmol m-2s-1; 16 h light/8 h darkness). Three-week-old plants were exposed to dehydration stress by being denied water for 6, 24, 48, or 72 h.
