Project description:Wood stiffness is the most important wood quality trait of forest trees for structural timber production. We investigated genes differentially transcribed in radiate pine trees with distinct wood stiffness using bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and cDNA microarrays. Transcript accumulation in earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) of high (HS) and low stiffness (LS) trees in two progeny trials was compared.

Project description:The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) from grapevine wood infected by a fungal pathogen in the presence of a root biological control agent. One of the goals was to obtain molecular data about the fungus pathogen (Phaeomoniella chlamydospora) during grapevine wood infection. Grapevine pathogen-infected wood mRNA profiles of 2-month-old plantlets (14 days post infection) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed by TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRTaPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped sequence reads to the grapevine genome (build IGGP 12x) and identified pathogen transcripts. RNAseq analyses, using a ribosomal RNA depletion technology for library preparation, provided identification of genes expressed by P. chlamydospora during infection: as for genes related to effector biosynthesis enzymes, carbohydrate-active enzymes and transcription regulators involved in known regulation pathways in fungi. Insights about P. oligandrum modulation of grapevine infection by this pathogen were also found. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of grapevine wood infection by a fungal pathogen generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive evaluation of mRNA content within grapevine wood tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would permit the dissection of complex biologic interactions.

Project description:The current study uses a transcriptomic approach to identify genes associated with differences in wood density, that are likely to be of value as candidate genes in Sitka breeding programmes for improved wood density. Following extensive wood density analysis from a Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong) Carr.) field grown clonal trial, three detailed microarray studies were conducted to compare the transcriptome of cambial tissue from contrasting clonal lines with high and low wood density. Twenty five genes exhibited differential expression, reaching as high as 50 fold, in at least two of the three microarray experiments and this was verified using real-time PCR. Identified genes functioned in cell wall synthesis, transcriptional regulation and plant pathogen defence, amongst others. These results confirm the importance of previously-identified density-related genes, and highlight a number of novel genes with a putative role in wood quality. A wide range of processes influence wood density, but this study has allowed the identification of potential regulators in these pathways. Future studies may now use this information to understand the control of natural variation in wood density, and manipulate the expression of these genes to improve timber quality.

Project description:Fast-growing Eucalyptus grandis trees are one of the most efficient producers of wood in South Africa. It is essential to maximize the effectiveness of these plantations by increasing their productivity, the quality and value of their products. We used microarray-based DNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis in combination with expression profiling to develop fingerprints and profile gene expression of wood-forming tissue of seven individual E. grandis trees. A 1532-probe cDNA microarray was constructed by arraying 768 cDNA-AFLP fragments and 810 cDNA library clones from seven individual E. grandis trees onto silanised slides. The results revealed that 32% of the spotted fragments showed distinct expression patterns (with a fold change of at least 1.4 or -1.4 and a p value of 0.01) and could be grouped into clusters representing co-expressed genes. Evaluation of the binary distribution of cDNA-AFLP fragments on the array showed that the individual genotypes could be discriminated. A simple, yet general method was developed for genotyping and expression profiling of wood-forming tissue of E. grandis trees differing in their splitting characteristics and in their lignin contents. Evaluation of gene expression profiles and the binary distribution of cDNA-AFLP fragments on the chip suggest that the prototype chip developed could be useful for transcript profiling and for the identification of Eucalyptus trees with preferred wood quality traits in commercial breeding programmes.

Project description:The process of wood formation is of great interest to control and manipulate wood quality for economically important gymnosperms. A Douglas-fir tissue culture system was developed to induce differentiation of callus into tracheary elements (fibers) and to monitor xylogenesisin-vitro by a proteomics approach. Two proteomes were being compared, from an early and late stage during the fiber differentiation process. After 18 weeks in a differentiating medium 80% elongated cells and 20% of cells with advanced spiral thickening were found indicating full wood fiber differentiation. Based on 2D electrophoresis, mass spectrometric, and data analyses, it was shown that nondifferentiated callus (early stage of development) expressed proteins related to protein metabolism, cellular energy and primary cell wall metabolism. At the same time, actively differentiating wood fibers (late stage of development) expressed proteins responsible for housekeeping and stress response, but mostly proteins involved in cell wall polysaccharides biosynthesis.
