Project description:Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. P. Beauv) has been considered as a tractable model crop in recent years due to its short growing cycle, lower repetitive DNA, inbreeding nature, small diploid genome, and outstanding abiotic stress-tolerance characteristics. With modern agriculture often facing various adversities, it’s urgent to dissect the mechanisms of how foxtail millet responds and adapts to drought and stress on the proteomic-level.
Project description:Transcriptome sequencing of Foxtail millet Setaria italica (Zhang-gu) for different tissues. Four RNA pools were created corresponding to four different tissues: root, leaf, stem, spica (tassel) at developmental stage, then each pool was sequenced.
Project description:To investigate the involvement of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in the moleular regulation in foxtail millet roots and the effects of genetic variation on AMS-mediated molecular regulation, we isolated total RNA from the roots of 3 different landraces for comprehensive transcriptomic analysis. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 3 different landraces (Hanevalval, TT8, ICE36) after 6-week mock or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi treatments.
Project description:In this project, comprehensive proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis was performed to explore sophisticated responsive networks of foxtail millet varieties of An04 and Yugu2 under salinity. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation-based (iTRAQ) and tandem mass tags-based (TMTs) quantitative proteomics approaches were used. In total, 10366 sites corresponding to 2862 proteins were detected and quantified. There were 759 and 990 sites corresponding to 484 and 633 proteins identified under salinity in An04 and Yugu2, respectively, and 1264 and 1131 phosphorylation sites corresponding to 789 and 731 proteins were identified between these two varieties before and after salt stress, respectively.
