Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To understand regulation mechanism of IbTLD, transcriptomes of W38 and trangenic tobacco overexpressing IbTLD with/withouthydrogen peroxide were dissected. 12-day-old seedlings were treated with10 mM H2O2 for 6 hrs. Total RNAs were isolated for library construction and analyzed by RNA-seq via Solexa platform. Raw sequences were obtained from the Illumina Pipeline software bcl2fastq v2.0 and expected to generate 20M (million reads or Gb) per sample.
Project description:7-day-old seedlings were treated with heat stress at 44oC for 30 min. Total RNAs were isolated for library construction and analyzed by RNA-seq via Solexa platform. Raw sequences were obtained from the Illumina Pipeline software bcl2fastq v2.0 and expected to generate 20M (million reads or Gb) per sample.
Project description:We compared the level of methylated cytosines between hydrogen peroxide overproducing (L8) and azygotes (L1) tobacco plants. We generated single base resolution maps of DNA methylation by whole genome bisulfite sequencing for 6-week-old plants from both transgenic tobacco lines. In total, we found 4,765 and 4,667 hyper and hypomethylated cytosines, respectively. These DmCs were associated with different regions of the genome, resulting in 1034 genes with at less one DMCs. 83 of these 1034 genes also showed differential expression. In this set of genes we found some correspond to proton transport, such as the V-type proton ATPase, and the ABC transporter. Our results corroborate that H2O2, as part of the balance of reactive oxygen species, plays a key role in the physiological adaptation of plants mediated by the methylation regulation.
Project description:Hydrogen peroxide plays a central role in launching the defense response during stress in plants. To establish a molecular profile provoked by a sustained increase in hydrogen peroxide levels, catalase-deficient tobacco plants (CAT1AS) were exposed to high light (HL) intensities over a detailed time course. The expression kinetics of >14000 genes were monitored by using transcript profiling technology based on cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism. Clustering and sequence analysis of 713 differentially expressed transcript fragments revealed a transcriptional response that mimicked that reported during both biotic and abiotic stresses, including the up-regulation of genes involved in the hypersensitive response, vesicular transport, posttranscriptional processes, biosynthesis of ethylene and jasmonic acid, proteolysis, mitochondrial metabolism, and cell death, and was accompanied by a very rapid up-regulation of several signal transduction components. Expression profiling corroborated by functional experiments showed that HL induced photoinhibition in CAT1AS plants and that a short-term HL exposure of CAT1AS plants triggered an increased tolerance against a subsequent severe oxidative stress.
Project description:Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is profiled with expression arrays. Adaptation describes the process in which a mild dose of toxin (in this case, hydrogen peroxide) is able to protect against a later acute dose. Here, we study two adaptive protocols (0.1 mM H2O2 and 0.1 + 0.4 mM H2O2) and one acute protocol (0.4 mM H2O2) to identify processes uniquely involved in adaptation. Predictions from these studies are validated in expression profiling of deletion mutants of the transcription factors Yap1, Mga2, and Rox1.
Project description:Comparative analysis of tobacco leaves transcriptomes unveils carotenoid pathway potentially determined the characteristics of aroma compounds in different environmental regions. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a sensitive crop to environmental changes, and a tobacco with unique volatile aroma fractions always formed in specific ecological conditions. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu. Results showed that there was big difference among the gene expression profiles of tobacco leaves in different environmental conditions. A total of 517 differential expressed genes (DEGs) between Weining and Tianzhu were identified, while 733 and 1,005 genes differentially expressed between Longgang and another two tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu, respectively. Compared with Longgang, up-regulated genes in Weining and Tianzhu were likely involved in secondary metabolism pathways, especially carotenoid pathway, including PHYTOENE SYNTHASE, PHYTOENE DEHYDROGENASE, LYCOPENE ε-CYCLASE, CAROTENOID β-HYDROXYLASE and CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 1 genes, while most down-regulated genes played important roles in response to temperature and light radiation, such as heat shock proteins. Gene Ontology and MapMan analyses demonstrated that the DEGs among different environmental regions were significantly enriched in light reaction of photosystem II, response of stimulus and secondary metabolism, suggesting they played crucial roles in environmental adaptation and accumulation of aroma compounds in tobacco plants. Through comprehensive transcriptome comparison, we not only identified several stress response genes in tobacco leaves from different environmental regions but also highlighted the importance of carotenoid pathway genes for characteristics of aroma compounds in specific growing regions. Our study primarily laid the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation of tobacco plants and molecular regulation of aroma substances in tobacco leaves.
Project description:Purpose: To elucidate the potential immune-regulatory mechanism of TRAIL of activated T cells in EAE, we analyzed gene expression profiles of splenic CD4+ T cells from EAE mice treated with TRAIL by RNA sequencing and transcriptome analysis. Methods: Splenic CD4+ T cell mRNA profiles of control or EAE mice treated with vehicle or TRAIL were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Solexa. Library construction of all samples were used by Agilent's SureSelect Strand Specific RNA Library Preparation Kit for 75SE (Single-End or Paired-End) sequencing on Solexa platform. The sequence was directly determined using sequencing-by-synthesis technology via the TruSeq SBS Kit. Raw sequences were obtained from the Illumina Pipeline software bcl2fastq v2.0 and expected to generate 20M (million reads or Gb) per sample. Results: By comparing mRNA exression of splenic CD4+ T cells from EAE mice treated with vehicle or TRAIL, there were 244 genes significantly differentially expressed. By analyzing these 244 significant genes categorized by a Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, the most significantly enriched category for CD4+ T cells was “cell cycle” (multiple of enrichment: 3.13, p = 1.64 × 10−5) followed by “TCR signaling pathway” (multiple of enrichment: 2.80, p = 8.25 × 10−4). In addition, significant genes in the“TCR signaling pathway” tended to be downregulated while those in “cell cycle”tended to be upregulated in a volcano plot analysis. Consistent with the volcano plot results, by using unsupervised hierarchical clustering, the heatmap showed that significant TCR signaling pathway-associated genes were downregulated, while significant cell cycle-associated genes were upregulated in splenic CD4+ T cells from EAE mice treated with TRAIL Conclusions: Our study demonstrated the gene transcription pattern from CD4+ T cells of TRAIL-treated EAE mice were involved in distinct TCR signaling and cell cycle pathways.
