Project description:Nitrogen (N) is an abundant and essential macronutrient for plants growth and development processes, especially for the huge banana trees with high biomass. In this paper, we studied the response of banana resists to low N stress ueing Illumina RNA-Seq technology, and analyzed the DEGs associated with the absorption, transport, and ulitilize of nitrogen.
Project description:We report the banana transcriptome profile in response to two distinct growth-promoting rhizobacteria, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens. The goal of our study is to identify plant genes differentially regulated by rhizobacteria-plant interaction along time. At the same time, we show that despite these two rhizobacteria regulate distinct sets of genes, the same functional categories has been over-represented, such as transcription factor activity, response to stress and metabolic processes.
Project description:Potassium (K+) is a crucial macronutrient in high biomass plants, especially in banana.we comparatively studyed the phenotypic traits and transcriptomic profiles of banana leaves and roots between low potassium group (LK) and normal-potassium group (NK). In our study, the K+ content and biomass index of banana seedling were all significantly decreased under the stress of low potassium group. Moreover, thirty differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to potassium transport and uptake and transcription factors were analyzed deeply. DEGs about ABC transporters, protein kinases and ion transporters were also detected, these genes may play important roles during potassium deficiency. These results provide valuable information about banana response to low potassium conditions.

Project description:'Systems-wide' approaches such as microarray RNA-profiling are ideally suited to the study of the complex, overlapping responses of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, commercial microarrays are only available for a limited number of plant species and development costs are so substantial as to be prohibitive for most research groups. Here, we evaluate the use of cross-hybridisation to Affymetrix oligonucleotide GeneChip microarrays to profile the response of the banana (Musa sp.) leaf transcriptome to drought stress using a genomic DNA (gDNA)-based probe-selection strategy to improve the efficiency of detection of differentially expressed Musa transcripts. GeneChip analyses were performed to profile the response of the banana (Musa sp.) leaf transcriptome to drought stress using a genomic DNA (gDNA)-based probe-selection strategy to improve the efficiency of detection of differentially expressed Musa transcripts.
