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:Banana is an important tropical fruit with high value. One main specie (cultivar Cavendish) is susceptible to low temperature, another close relative specie (Dajiao), considerably higher cold tolerance than Cavendish. Our previous global proteomics results suggested that some membrane proteins be likely involved in cold tolerance of Dajiao via antioxidation mechanism. To further investigate early cold stress response of Dajiao, we applied comparative membrane proteomics analysis for both cold-sensitive Cavendish and cold-tolerant Dajiao subjected to 10 °C for 0, 3 and 6 h.
Project description:Comparative transcriptome analysis of banana (Musa acuminata L. AAA group, cv. Cavendish) leaves and roots in response to low-potassium stress
Project description:These dare RNA-seq raw datasets generated for differential expression analysis of three abaca varieties, two backcrosses, and one wild banana variety
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.
