Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The expression profile of mature internodes (In9) and immature (In1) internodes of high brix and low brix plants was compared. Internodes were collected from plants with high brix content and from plants with low brix content from Progeny 2. Progeny 2 was derived from a cross between two commercial varieties (SP80-180 x SP80-4966). Five hundred sugarcane F1 plants were field-grown. The stem sugar content from the different plants showed a normal distribution, and seven plants with extreme brix values were collected 7 and 11 months after planting. Keywords: Expression profiling by array
Project description:Summary The expression profile of internodes from high brix plant was compared to internodes from low brix plants. Mature (In9), intermediate (In5) and immature internodes (In1) were collected from two different Progenies and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted using Trizol. Progeny 1 was derived from two intra-specific polycrosses, one among Saccharum officinarum genotypes and the other combining Saccharum spontaneum genotypes. For each generation, 500 individuals were sampled for brix content and gene expression. The extreme segregants were selected for further analysis. The F3 hybrid individuals selected for molecular studies were planted in a field in single rows of 5 m using standard sugarcane cultivation practices. Brix readings and tissue samples were collected very early in the season, and in March of the following year, when plants were 10 months old. The soluble solids (brix) content of mature internodes of each sugarcane stalk was measured with a portable refractometer (N1 model, ATAGO, Japan). Individuals or pools of eight individuals had their tissues collected and RNA extracted. Progeny 2 was derived from a cross between two commercial varieties (SP80-180 x SP80-4966). Five hundred sugarcane F1 plants were field-grown. The stem sugar content from the different plants showed a normal distribution, and seven plants with extreme brix values were collected.

Keywords: Expression profiling by array Total RNA from internodes pool from high brix plants and low brix plants was hybridized to dual channel arrays. Internodes from the same stage of development and from the same progeny were compared. The quantification of each hybridization was submitted in two files, one for each slide side (technical replicates).

Project description:Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrid, SP80-3280) was grown in the field in Araras (Brazil) for 9 months. Leaves +1 (F1), internodes 1&2 (I1), and internodes 5 (I5) were harvested every 2 h for 26 h, starting 2h before dawn.
Project description:Background: Sugarcane is an important sugar and energy crop largely used for bioethanol production in the world. The development of sugarcane cultivars with high sucrose content and yield is one of the biggest challenges of breeding programs nowadays. To identify genes networks that underlie sucrose content and yield, we used a custom designed oligonucleotide array with 21,901 different probes to study the transcriptome from breeding populations of sugarcane contrasting to sucrose content and genotypes contrasting to photosynthesis rate. Results: Physiological and biochemical data reveals that the transcriptome profiles described here showed a close relationship between sucrose content and stem development. A total of 2135 genes were differentially expressed in at least one experimental hybridization. We identified genes related to carbohydrate metabolism, cell wall metabolism and signal transduction. The same oligoarrays was used to detect transcription in both sense and antisense orientation. The enriched functional category from antisense expressed genes reveals light harvesting and circadian clock as the two top categories that can be related to photosynthesis and yield in sugarcane. Conclusions: Knowledge on the mechanisms underlying carbon partitioning and its relationship with sucrose accumulation in sugarcane stems would help defines routes to increase yield. Our findings showed for instance that sucrose accumulation and yield in sugarcane may be regulated by hormone signaling pathways, light harvesting and circadian clock genes. Analysis of the expression data and gene category enrichment provided an insight into signaling pathways and transcriptional control contrasting in high brix and low brix plants as well as differing photosynthesis rates and yield.
Project description:Transcriptional profile of sugarcane plants variety SP80-3280 inoculated with the pathogen Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) compared with mocked inoculated ones 30 and 60 days after inoculation (DAI). Goal was to determine the effects of the increase in Lxx title on global sugarcane gene expression.
Project description:Sugarcane one-eyed seed sets (genotype SP80-3280, CTC, Brazil) were planted in 200 ml plastic cups containing a commercial planting mix (Plantmax, Eucatex) and cultivated for 20 days under greenhouse conditions. The plantlets were subsequently transferred to a growth chamber at 26°C on a 16 h/8 h light/dark cycle with a photon flux density of 70 µE.m-2.s-1 to acclimate. Plantlets were then sprayed with a 100 µmol.L-1 MeJA solution (Bedoukian Research Inc., Danbury, CT), whereas control plantlets were treated with distilled water. Leaves were collected 0, 1, 6and 12 h after exposure to MeJA and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Six plantlets were used for each time point. Extraction of total RNA was performed separately on each sample pool. Keywords: time course of hormone treatment
Project description:Sugarcane stalk borer larvae were grown on artificial diet and maintained at 25°C and 60±10% relative humidity with a 14 h/10 h light/dark cycle. Second instar larvae were maintained under fasting conditions for 18 h and transferred to two-month old plants (genotype SP80-3280, CTC, Brazil). Leaves were collected after 30 min and 24 h of exposure to herbivory for the control and experimental groups. Two plantlets were used for each time point. Extraction of total RNA was performed separately on each sample pool. Keywords: time course of stress response
Project description:Advances in alfalfa [Medicago sativa (L.) subsp. sativa] breeding, molecular genetics and genomics have been slow because this crop is an allogamous autotetraploid (2n = 4x = 32) with complex polysomic inheritance. Increasing cellulose and decreasing lignin in alfalfa stem cell walls would improve this crop as a cellulosic ethanol feedstock. We selected two alfalfa genotypes (252, 1283) that differ in cellulose and Klason lignin concentration in stem cell walls. Analysis of GeneChip expression data files of alfalfa stem internodes of genotypes 252 and 1283 at two growth stages (elongating, post-elongation) revealed 10,887 SFPs in 8,230 probe sets. Validation analysis by PCR-sequencing of a random sample of SFPs indicated a 12% false discovery rate. Functional classification and over-representation analysis showed that both genotypes were highly enriched in SFP-harboring cell wall genes. We mapped 5,833 of the 8,230 SFP-harboring genes onto putative orthologous loci on Medicago truncatula chromosomes. Clustering and over-representation of SFP-harboring genes within the same functional class (e.g. cell wall genes) was observed on some chromosomes. Prior to analysis of expression data for the two alfalfa genotypes, SFP probes were masked to reduce false positives and false negatives. The combination of SFP and gene expression analysis provide a list of candidate cell wall genes that can be used as molecular markers in a breeding program to improve alfalfa as a cellulosic feedstock. The results of this study will also be useful in advancing understanding of genome organization in alfalfa and for comparative genomics research with other legume species.

BioEnergy Research 2: 59-76 Experiment Overall Design: The alfalfa clonal lines 252 and 1283 were propagated from cuttings and grown in the greenhouse. The greenhouse experiments consisted of three replicates arranged in a randomized complete block design. There were eight plants of each clone, in individual pots, in each replicate. Plant material for analysis was composited within each replicate at harvest. Stem internode tissues were harvested at full bloom. Based on tissue pliability and coloration, the internode in transition from elongation to post-elongation cambial growth was identified. The internodes immediately above (elongating internodes) and below this transition internode (post-elongation internodes) were collected for RNA extraction.
Project description:Plant growth regulators (PGRs) were commonly used in practical farming to restrict plant height and control lodging. Ethephon has been reported to shorten the internodes elongation and increase the harvestable grain yield of maize. In the present study, we characterized that internodes phenotypic responses to ethephon treatment induced should due to ethylene released inhibited the longitudinal growth of cells and promoted its the lateral growth. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene differentially expression underlying maize and identified distinct classes of up or down-regulated genes during this process.
