Project description:In the present study, we investigated the transcriptome features during hulless barley grain development. Using Illumina paired-end RNA-Sequencing, we generated two data sets of the developing grain transcriptomes from two hulless barley landraces.
Project description:We provide raw gene sequences of 174 flowering time regulatory genes and gene othologs across a large barley population (895 barley lines) selected from a collection of landrace, cultivated barley, and research varieties of diverse origin. This set represents the whole variety of cultivated barley lifeforms, namely two- and six-row genotypes with winter, spring, and facultative growth habits. We applied a target capture method based on in-solution hybridization using the myBaits® technology (Arbor Biosciences, Ann Arbour, MI, USA) which is based on in-solution biotinylated RNA probes. Baits were designed for flowering time regulatory genes and gene othologs, and used for production of 80mer capture oligonucleotides for hybridization. Genomic DNA was extracted from leaves of a single two-week old barley plant per variety using the cetyl-trimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB) method. Physical shearing of genomic DNA was performed with an average size of 275 bp. Library preparation was conducted with KAPA Hyper Prep Kit (KAPA Biosystems, Wilmington, MA). Hybridization of customised RNA baits with capture pools was performed at 65°C for 24 hours. Each pooled sequence capture library was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq3000 instrument using three lanes to generate paired-end reads per sample. Genome sequencing was conducted at AgriBio, (Centre for AgriBioscience, Bundoora, VIC, Australia).
Project description:Seeds germination is seriously sensitive to salt stress. The mechanism in response to salt stress during seed germination is still little known. In this study, two genotypes of hulless barley lk621 and lk53 were selected to investigate the molecular mechanism of seeds salinity response during germination stage through RNA-seq and iTRAQ technologies
Project description:Tibetan hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) growing in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the major staple food crop for the Tibetans. However, because of soil salinity, the agricultural production of hulless barley is challenged by salinity stress. Here, we perform data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based quantitative proteomics of two barley cultivars with differential salinity tolerance under salt stress
Project description:Proteomic profiling was performed on barley spent grain. Spent grain from malted barley and from raw barley supplemented with exogenous enzymes were profiled.
