Project description:Sugarcane plants were grown in soil in a 12h light/ 12h dark photoperiod and 26oC for 3 months. Then, the plants were transferred to constant light conditions and 24 h later, leaves were harvested every 4 h for 48 h.
Project description:Sugarcane plants were grown in soil in a 12h light/ 12h dark photoperiod and 26oC for 3 months. Then, the plants were transferred to constant light conditions and 24 h later, leaves were harvested every 4 h for 48 h. Samples were collected from 24 h in constant light to 68 h in constant light and were labelled accordingly. Two biological replicates of each time point were made, with a dye swap with the reference. The reference used was a equimolar solution of all samples.
Project description:According to the key words, the gene set, including oxidation-reduction, RNA silence, disease resistance, phytohormone, phosphorylation, dephosphorylation, transcription factor, receptor, kinase, ubiquitination and RNA binding,etc. from sugarcane and the whole CDS sequence from smut genome, was achieved and used as targets in the present microarray assay. Based on smut infection samples from smut-susceptible sugarcane genotype YC71-374 and smut-resistant sugarcane genotype NCo376, the hybridization was conducted and validated by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. It would provide a basic data for the study on sugarcane-smut interaction mechanism, which referred to sugarcane smut resistance and smut pathogenesis.
Project description:To accelerate genetic studies in sugarcane, an Axiom Sugarcane100K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array was designed and customized in this study. Target enrichment sequencing 300 sugarcane accessions selected from the world collection of sugarcane and related grass species yielded more than four million SNPs, from which a total of 31,449 single dose (SD) SNPs and 68,648 low dosage (33,277 SD and 35,371 double dose) SNPs from two datasets respectively were selected and tiled on Affymetrix Axiom SNP array. Most of selected SNPs (91.77%) were located within genic regions (12,935 genes), with an average of 7.1 SNPs/gene according to sorghum gene models. This newly developed array was used to genotype 469 sugarcane clones, including one F1 population derived from cross between Green German and IND81-146, one selfing population derived from CP80-1827, and 11 diverse sugarcane accessions as controls. Results of genotyping revealed a high polymorphic SNP rate (77.04%) among the 469 samples. Three linkage maps were constructed by using SD SNP markers, including a genetic map for Green German with 3,482 SD SNP markers spanning 3,336 cM, a map for IND81-146 with 1,513 SD SNP markers spanning 2,615 cM, and a map for CP80-1827 with 536 SD SNP markers spanning 3,651 cM. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis identified a total of 18 QTLs controlling Sugarcane yellow leaf virus resistance segregating in the two mapping populations, harboring 27 disease resistant genes. This study demonstrated the successful development and utilization of a SNP array as an efficient genetic tool for high throughput genotyping in highly polyploid sugarcane.
Project description:Background and aims The endophytic diazotrophic strain CBAmC of Nitrospirillum amazonense has been reported as a plant growth promoter of sugarcane variety RB867515 when grown under field conditions. The present work aimed to assess the influence of apoplast fluid from RB867515 on the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of CBAmC cultured in vitro. Methods RNA-Seq in Ion Proton™ and ESI-LC-MS/MS peptide analysis were used to evaluate the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles, respectively, of CBAmC exposed for 2 h to the sugarcane apoplast fluid. Results The bacterial transcriptomic and proteomic profiles were well correlated. The overall response of CBAmC to the apoplast fluid included overexpression of defense systems against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osmotic stress, RND efflux pumps for toxic compounds, Sec and Tat secretory systems, and assimilative metabolism of iron. In contrast, active transporters of organic compounds, chemotaxis system and flagellum structure were underexpressed. Conclusions The bacterial metabolic pathways / functions activated in response to the sugarcane apoplast fluid are most likely related to its adaptation to the peculiar characteristics of the fluid. The activation of some of those functions could be determinant for its adaptation to the sugarcane apoplastic niche, and perhaps be involved in the previously observed effect of promoting plant growth.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of sugarcane leaf+1 and upper internode harvested at one and five days after chemical (ethephon and AVG) application (DAA) compared to control (mock) samples. Co-hybridization of chemical-treated samples with control samples as reference (one or five DAA chemical treated-samples against one DAA control sample; and five DAA chemical treated-sample against five DAA control sample) was performed to monitor gene expression changes in a two-color Agilent custom microarray, using a dye-swap design. Our goal was to determine the effect of ethylene on global gene expression of sugarcane plants at the maturation stage.
Project description:Sugarcane is a very efficient crop to produce ethanol. In recent years, extensive efforts have been made in order to increase sugarcane yields. To reach this goal, molecular biology tools have been used comprehensively, identifying genes, pathways and genetic polymorphisms. However, some important molecular components, like microRNAs, have not been deeply investigated. MicroRNAs are an important class of endogenous small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcription level and play fundamental roles in diverse aspects of animal and plant biology. Plant genomes harbor numerous miRNA genes that regulate many protein-coding genes to influence key processes ranging from development, metabolism, and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. There is wide range of pests and diseases that affect sugarcane, yet the mechanisms that regulate pathogen interactions with sugarcane have not been thoroughly investigated. To gain knowledge on the physiological responses to pathogens mediated by microRNAs in sugarcane, we screened the transcriptoma of sugarcane plants infected with Acidovorax avenae subsp avenae, the causal agent of red stripe disease in sugarcane, and detected several microRNAs modulated in the presence of the pathogen. Furthermore, we validated with qPCR a number of microRNA expression patterns observed by bioinformatics analysis. In addition, we observed high expression levels of several star microRNAs, in numbers larger than the mature microRNAs in some cases. Interestingly, sof-miR408 was consistently down-regulated in the presence of several pathogens, but not in the presence beneficial microbes. This result indicates that the sugarcane senses pathogenic or beneficial microorganisms differentially and triggers specific epigenetic regulatory mechanisms accordingly
