Project description:Tomato flowering and fruit set require an optimal temperature of 25/22 ± 2˚C (day/night). When the air temperature reaches to above the optimal range (higher than 30/26˚C; day/night), only a small number of flower buds would develop into mature flowers and produce a reduced number of pollen. This project used the iodoTMT proteomics analysis method to identify heat-induced proteomes in these tomato flower buds.
Project description:Potato plants of the cultivar 'Atlantic', which is IHN-susceptible, were grown in the greenhouse under a 16-hour photoperiod and 22 C day/18 C night temperatures for 46 days, after which they were transferred to growth chambers with a 14-hour photoperiod and normal (20 C day/18 C night) temperatures. At 71 DAP (days after planting), half of the plants were subjected to high (28 C day/20 C night) temperatures for the remainder of the study. Tubers from both normal and high temperature regimes were harvested at two-week intervals, beginning at 76 DAP and ending at 118 DAP. For each RNA sample, equal amounts of peeled tuber tissue (sampled from the center of the tuber using a cork borer) was pooled from three randomly chosen plants. RNA was extracted using a hot-phenol and high salt (2.4 M) CTAB-based extraction buffer. Keywords: Loop design
Project description:This was a comparative transcriptome analysis by using high throughput sequencing. To assess the effects of heat stress on maize alternative splicing we used a controlled environment facility called the Enviratron to simulate field conditions. For our experiments, maize plants were subjected to conditions simulating normal diurnal rhythms of light and temperature, with increasing maximal daily temperature (MDT). Maize plants were grown continuously under four different temperature regimes with simulated morning temperatures ramped up over 6 hr to the MDT of 31°C, 33°C, 35°C or 37°C and simulated evening/night time temperatures ramped down over 8 hr to 10°C below the MDT. We tracked the alternative splicing events of maize W22 seedlings grow under different temperatures (MDT of 31°C, 33°C, 35°C or 37°C) to evaluate how different MDTs affect the program of gene alternative splicing in maize. RNA was extracted from small strips of leaf lamina excised from the first fully expanded leaf of V4 and V5 W22 plants (at 20 and 27 DAG, respectively). Plants were sampled in triplicates.

At the same time, we analyzed the effects of temperature on gene expression in bzip60-2 and W22 V4 plants (20 DAG) and V5 plants (27 DAG) in the Enviratron as the temperature reached its MDT to investigate whether and how bZIP60 confers heat stress tolerance in maize. RNA was extracted from small strips of leaf lamina excised from the first fully expanded leaf of V4 and V5 W22 plants (at 20 and 27 DAG, respectively). Plants were sampled in triplicates.
Project description:cea10-02_light - photooxidative stress - To characterize the metabolic pathways implicated in oxidative stress responses and in acclimation mechanisms in the ch1 mutant - The extracts are carried out starting from sheets of Arabidopis thaliana having pushed on compost in controlled conditions (light: 250 µmol.m-2.s-1, temperature: 22°C day 18°C night, moisture: 55%, photoperiod: 8:00 jour/16h night) during 4 and 8 weeks for respectively the Col0 genotype and the mutant ch1. The acclimatization of the plants is done during 48 H under an average luminous intensity (450 µmol.m-2.s-1, photoperiod 8:00), whereas the stress requires a strong luminous intensity (900 µmol.m-2.s-1, photoperiod 8:00) and low temperature (10°C day, 14°C night) also during 48 hours.
Project description:The experiment was conducted using four 11-year-old potted grapevines of V. vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon grafted on SO4 (Selection Oppenheim No. 4) grown in a phytotron. Vines were trained on a Guyot trellising system and each vine carried 4-10 clusters of grapes. The experiment started approximately 1 week before veraison, when berry softening started, and continued to fruit maturity. The two temperature regimes consisted of a high day (06.00–20.00 h) temperature (max.35C) and a control (max. 25C). Under both conditions, the night-time (20.00–06.00 h) temperature was 20C.

Project description:The experiment was carried out during two vegetation seasons from 25th of April to 10th of September. Two Polish potato cultivars, the drought-tolerant Gwiazda and drought-sensitive Oberon were used. Selected tubers with transverse diameters of 3 - 4 cm were pre-sprouted for 2 weeks before planting. Plants were grown in a vegetation hall in pots filled with a thin layer of gravel on the bottom and the universal vegetable soil substrate ‘Hollas’ (Agaris Polska Ltd., Poland) produced from peat with the addition of chalk at a pH range of 5.5-6.5. Additionally, in phase 20 of the BBCH-scale of plant development, MIS-3 (Intermag) fertilizer was applied. Water content (WC) in volumetric basis in soil pots was measured according Black (1965). Weather conditions during the years of study were monitored using a Weather Campbell Station (Campbell Scientific Inc.) located in close proximity, and a thermohygrograph placed between pots. Meteorological data of air temperature, the photosynthetically active radiation, and humidity were comparable in the years of study and favorable for potato development. Three weeks after the initiation of the tuberisation phase (56 DAP), plants were divided into 3 groups, each consisting of 6 plants. The first group of plants was subjected to soil drought (remained without irrigation, day/night temperature 22°C/18°C), the second one to high temperature (day/night temperature 38°C/25°C) and the third one was watered according to needs and at optimal temperature (control plants, day/night temperature 22°C/18°C). Stress application lasted 14 days and finished at 70 DAP. During this period, plants were placed in phytotron equipped with six Hortilux Schreder Lamps with Philips light bulbs of 1600 W each. Air humidity was in the range 65-70%. WC under 14 days of soil drought reached 30% (v/v), and remained 80% (v/v) in control and high temperature conditions. During the recovery period, after 14 days of stress treatment, WC reached control levels. Plant root material for proteomic research was collected on the 14th day of stress treatment (70 DAP).
Project description:We investigated effect of severe cold to diurnal transcriptome changes in maize 3rd leaf. We used chilling-sensitive inbred line CM109. Kernels were germinated in wet sand in darkness at 25C. Seedlings were transferred to growth chamber (photoperiod 14/10h, temperature 24, light 250 umol quanta x m-2 x s-1). After full development of the third leaf (fully developed ligular region) plants were used for experiments. The experiment was begun at the start of the dark period (time zero), at which time a large sample (eight plants) was taken to serve as a reference in hybridizations. Half of the plants were transferred to cold chamber (day/night temperature 8/6°C, photoperiod 14/10 h, light 250 umol quanta•m-2•s-1) other half served as control (day/night temperature 24/22°C, other parameters was the same as for cold treatment). Further samples were taken after 200, 400, 600 (dark period) and 810, 1020, 1230, 1440 minutes (light period) of growth (total 24 hours). Each sample consisted of the middle part of the third leaf blade, pooled from three plants and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The experiment was replicated four times with two replications dye swapped.
Project description:The goal of the experiment was to perform a large scale study of circadian regulation of gene expression in maize. To identify maize genes with expression regulated by the circadian clock, transcript levels in the aerial tissues of young maize seedlings were determined by transcriptional profiling with the Affymetrix GeneChip Maize Genome Array. Maize inbred B73 seedlings were grown inside Conviron growth chamber. B73 seedlings were grown for 7 days under 12 h light:12 h dark (LD) photocycles, 26° C temperature and 70% humidity. At the 8th day, seedlings were transferred to continuous light (LL) and were allowed to entrain completely for 24 h prior to tissue harvest following which tissue was harvested every 4 hours under LL conditions for a period of 48h. Therefore, for the circadian LL time course 12 time points were collected as follows (also defined as factors in the treatment section): ZT0 - 8:00 am/ subjective dawn/ Day1 ZT4 - 12:00 pm/ subjective mid-day/ Day1 ZT8 - 4:00 pm/ subjective late-day/ Day1 ZT12 - 8:00 pm/ subjective dusk/ Day1 ZT16 - 12:00 am/ subjective mid-night/ Day1 ZT20 - 4:00 am/ subjective pre-dawn/ Day1 ZT24- 8:00 am/ subjective dawn/ Day2 ZT28 - 12:00 pm/ subjective mid-day/ Day2 ZT32 - 4:00 pm/ subjective late-day/ Day2 ZT36 - 8:00 pm/ subjective dusk/ Day2 ZT40 - 12:00 am/ subjective mid-night/ Day2 ZT44 - 4:00 am/ subjective pre-dawn/ Day2 Tissue comprised of aerial portion of the seedlings (corresponding to tissue from the prop roots and up) for RNA isolation. Total RNA was isolated from the entire aerial portion of 7 day-old seedlings (corresponding to tissue from the prop roots and up) by Trizol extraction followed by Qiagen RNeasy columns and treatment with RNase-free DNase I (Qiagen; qiagen.com). RNA was isolated from 3 independent biological replicates was pooled. cRNA was generated from pooled total RNA from 3 biological replicates with the GeneChip One-Cycle Target Labeling kit according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (Affymetrix, affymetrix.com). The University of California, Berkeley Functional Genomics Laboratory hybridized samples to Affymetrix GeneChip Maize Genome Arrays and scanned the washed arrays as suggested by manufacturer. Probe sets called “Not Present” or “Marginal” on one or more microarrays were removed from the downstream analysis, as is common practice with circadian studies. Raw hybridization intensities were normalized across all twelve arrays using RMA express in Perfect Match mode. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Frank G.
