Project description:Medicago truncatula endogenous small RNAs The dataset contains Medicago truncatula Gaertn. cv. Jemalong endogenous small RNA sequences in the range 18-28 nucleotides. High-throughput Solexa/Illumina sequencing was carried out at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK. Please see www.illumina.com for details of the technology. Small RNA sequences were mapped to Medicago truncatula genome release 2.0 (http://www.medicago.org/genome/), the number of matches to the unfinished genome, if any, is recorded in the Series supplementary file GSE13761_sequence_annotations.txt.gz.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of seeds of Medicago truncatula during maturation. To identify genes that are regulated during seed maturation in the model legume Medicago truncatula, plants at flowering stage were grown at variable light and temperature conditions under greenhouse environment (period March-June). Seeds were then collected at different stages of development. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transcriptomic analysis was performed to follow the differential expression of genes during seed maturation.
Project description:The aim of the experiment was to characterise a P450 monooxygenase mutant involved in the biosynthetic pathway of haemolytic saponins. Saponins are a group of glycosidic compounds with an antimicrobial function. The gene CYP716A12 is responsible for an early step in saponin biosythesis. Transcriptome analysis of a CYP716A12 mutant was performed to investigate its function.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of seeds of Medicago truncatula during maturation. To identify genes that are regulated during seed maturation in the model legume Medicago truncatula, plants at flowering stage were grown at controlled temperature of 21-19°C, 16h light. Seeds were then collected at different stages of development. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transcriptomic analysis was performed to follow the differential expression of genes during seed maturation.

Project description:12plex_medicago_2013-08 - r108 in symbiosis with rhizobia wt or rhizobia mutant for baca. - Two experiments to compare the transcriptomic response of medicago plants: Agar medium versus Phytagel medium (exp1) and rhizobium WT versus BacA (exp2). - Medicago truncatula ecotype R108 was inoculated with the symbiotic rhizobium Sinorhizobium meliloti strain Sm1021 and with its derivative mutant delta bacA. Nodules were collected 13 days after inoculation, and RNA were prepared for transcriptome analysis, there were three biological independant experiements.
Project description:We used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate specific cells from the Medicago truncatula nodule meristem (M), the distal infection (DIZ), the proximal infection zone (PIZ), infected cells (IC) and uninfected cells (UIC) from the fixation zone. Based on Medicago GeneChips, we identified the cell- and tissue-specific programm of gene expression in Medicago truncatula root nodules.
Project description:affy_ralstonia_medicago - Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal agent of the devastating bacterial wilt disease. Its infection process was studied with an in vitro inoculation procedure on intact roots of Medicago truncatula. The pathosystem involved susceptible A17 and resistant F83005.5 M truncatula lines infected with the pathogenic strain GMI1000. The mutant A17 line, Sickle, which showed a resistant phenotype was also part of the experiment. To identify host signaling pathway triggered by R. solanacearum infection with a focus on the involvment of ethylene, we used the Medicago Affymetrix array to monitore the expression profiles and the molecular process associated with initial symptoms development (12hpi) and colonization (72hpi). In order to maximize chances to observe differential gene expression, RNA samples were extracted from the root infection zone (root tips) -Three Medicago truncatula lines, A17, F83005.5 and sickle were inoculated with GMI1000 Ralstonai solanacearum strain (107 cfu/ml). RNA were extracted from root extremities (1 cm above the root tip) at time 0, 12h and 72h post inoculation. Three biological repeats were conducted
