Project description:We performed one degradome sequencing for identification and characterization of novel microRNAs in Phalaenopsis aphrodite subsp. formosana. Plant tissues of leaves, stalk, and flower buds frozen in liquid nitrogen were ground to fine powder using a mortar and pestle, respectively. Total RNA extraction was freshly prepared using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. About 50 μg of leaves with or without low temperature treatment, stalks and flower buds were taken separately and then mixed. The degradome library was constructed by the Genomics BioSci & Tech. Company following the manufactoring protocol. In brief, 200 μg of total RNA was passed though polyA column using the Oligotex kit (Qiagen). The 5'-RNA adapter containing a Mme I recognition site was ligated by T4 RNA ligase and further reverse transcribed to amplify the templates. After digesting with Mme I then ligated to a 3'-double DNA adapter, the products were amplified by additional PCR cycles and gel-purified for Illumina sequencing. The files contain the raw data of degradome sequencing. Examination of one degradome of mixed tissues of Phalaenopsis orchid

Project description:We performed four small RNA sequencing for identification and characterization of microRNAs in Phalaenopsis aphrodite subsp. formosana. By comparing the low temperature-treated group with treated group, we concluded four miRNAs - miR156, miR162, miR528 and miR535 - as low temperature-induced miRNAs. In addition, tissue-specific expression of these miRNAs was investigated. The files contain the miRNAs analysis results in each group.

Project description:Phalaenopsis aprodite subsp. formosana is one of the most important species for Phalaenopsis breeding. A mutant line with variegated leaf is found in this species. The green leaves bear unstable yellow sectors. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of the variegated mutant line, we sequenced the transcriptome of variegated mutant by Illumina's Solexa sequencing technology. The sequence analysis results showed 22,598 unigenes by de novo assembly method, and the average unigene length was 1,286 bp. The bioinformatics tools were used to screen the differential expression between green and yellow sectors of leaves. There were 389 differentially expressed unigenes were identified. In addition, Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analyses revealed diverse biological functions and processes from differentially expressed genes. In transcriptome analysis, seven differential expression gene between the green and yellow sectors of leaves can be identified as CHLM, CRD1, POR, CLH, SGR, psbA and Lhcb6 by RNA deep sequencing. The expression of candidate genes was confirmed using semi-quantitative reverse transcription (RT) PCR and real-time RT PCR. The result showed that the significantly differential expression of CLH and SGR between green and yellow sectors was confirmed. It is suggested that the overexpressed SGR gene promotes the function of chlorophyllase, leading to the rapid degradation of chlorophyll in yellow sector. It causes the chlorophyll to not accumulate in the yellow sector, as a result, the variegated leaves are shown.
