Project description:12plex_medicago_2014_02 - nar nodule vs root transcriptome - which are the genes differentially expressed in alfalfa spontaneous (non rhizobium-infected) nodules vs. control roots? - biological material: aeroponically grown cuttings of a Medicago sativa (alfalfa) accession that produces empty nodules when nitrogen-starved. Samples for transcriptome comparison: isolated NAR nodules (10 days post N-starvation) vs. roots of the same plants (pools of 3 roots).
Project description:we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to characterize the proteome-level changes associated with salt stress response in Medicago sativa cv. Zhongmu-1 and Medicago truncatula cv. Jemalong A17 roots. The tandem mass spectrometry analysis of the differentially accumulated proteins resulted in the identification of 60 and 26 proteins in Zhongmu-1 and Jemalong A17 roots, respectively.
