Project description:Drought-responsive genes in soybean leaves were successfully obtained using soybean gene 1.0 ST array. Leaf samples from the vegetative stage of soybean plants were used. V6 soybean plants planted in the pots were imposed drought by withholding water for 6 days until the soil moisture content drop to 5% and trifolium 4th were collected for expression profiling
Project description:Nicotine withdrawal can diversely affect brain gene expression patterns. In the brain, the dorsal striatum is a hub of nicotine dependence. Previous studies have shown that nicotine dependence leads to functional alterations in the dorsal striatum. miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulates cellular functions and dysfunctions. Here, we performed small RNA sequencing from the dorsal striatum of mice at 7 days after nicotine withdrawal. Our results show that nicotine withdrawal does not notably impact miRNA expression profile in the dorsal striatum, but a few miRNAs were significantly altered in response to nicotine withdrawal. These results suggest that nicotine withdrawal has a small but significant impact on the miRNA expression profile in the mouse dorsal striatum.
