Project description:Sunflower is an important source of vegetable oil worlwide. A differential organ-specific sunflower ESTs was previously generated by a subtractive hybridization method, including a considerable number of abiotic stress associated sequences. The objective of this work is to analyze the sunflower gene expression of previously identified candidate genes under a comprehensive microarray analysis of the leaf transcriptoma under cold and salinity stresses, considering the impacts of these abiotic stresses on sunflower yield in many productive areas. The aimed of this work is to perform genome analysis of sunflower based on its functional regions and the characterization of the sunflower transcriptoma profiles for different organ-specific genes. Abiotic-related expressed genes were the target of this characterization through a gene expression analysis of the local EST bank (annotated according to Gene Ontology Annotation) using a cDNA organ-specific microarray chip approach. We analyzed 287 differentially expressed genes derived from leaf, stem, R1 and R4 flower developmental stages. Transcriptional analysis allowed the detection of three different groups of genes according to their expression patterns. Group 1 contained 112 up-regulated genes under abiotic stress conditions (cold or salinity), whereas Group 2 (126 genes) did not show changes in their expression levels. On the other hand, 49 genes were classified as Group 3 included were down-regulated genes under both stresses. Eighty genes exhibited a significative fold change under abiotic stress conditions, being six of them validated by qRT-PCR. Microrarray profiling of cold and NaCl-treated sunflower leaves revealed dynamic changes in transcript abundance, including transcription factors, defense/stress related proteins, and effectors of homeostasis, all of which highlight the complexity of both stress responses. This finding provides identification of many transcriptional processes occurring under abiotic stress in sunflower for genes isolated from organ-specific cDNA libraries Keywords: gene expression profile of organ-specific sunflower transcriptoma in response to NaCl and cold

Project description:To identify novel miRNA and NAT-siRNAs that are associated with abiotic stresses in Arabidopsis, we generated small RNA sequences from adult Arabidopsis plants under control and under dought, salt, and cold stress treatments. Over 23 million reads were generated.
Project description:Plant cyclophilins are widely involved in a variety of abiotic stress regulation processes. Thirty cyclophilin members were identified from apple and their patterns of response to abiotic stress were examined. Apple seedlings with consistent growth were selected, cultivated under drought stress conditions simulated by PEG6000, sampled according to different time periods, and quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen.Total RNAs of apple plantlets were isolated using an RNA extraction kit (Tiangen, Beijing, China).
