Project description:transcriptome changes in pea leaves with sulfur deficency/sufficiency during reproductive phase.-Characterization of transcriptome changes in leaves of wild-type and PsSultr4 mutant lines (for a sulfur transporter) subjected or not to sulfur deficiency during the reproductive phase 4plex_pea_2014_01 - transcriptome changes in pea leaves with sulfur deficency/sufficiency during reproductive phase. - Role of sulfur and of the sulfate store in leaf metabolism. - Comparison of: 1- The leaf transcriptome of pea subjected or not to sulfur deficiency during the reproductive phase (S+ versus S –) 2- The leaf transcriptome of wild-type and mutant lines for a sulfur transporter (two TILLING alleles) grown under sulfur sufficient conditions : WT1/Mut1 S+ et WT2/Mut2 S+ 3- The leaf transcriptome of wild-type and mutant lines for a sulfur transporter (two TILLING alleles) grown under sulfur deficient conditions : WT1/Mut1 S+ et WT2/Mut2 S+
Project description:Based on the generation of ESTs, we developed a spruce cDNA microarray composed of 21,843 cDNA elements selected from 12 cDNA libraries representing developmental stages of xylem, phloem, bark and roots, as well as elicitor-treated bark. Clones on the array were selected from a CAP3 assembly of 50,770 hq 3’ ESTs, and were carefully chosen to represent a minimally redundant gene set. Using this array we examined global changes in the transcriptome of Sitka spruce attacked for two days by stem-boring white pine weevils. Differentially expressed genes were determined using three criteria: fold-change between weevil-treated and untreated control > 1.5-fold, P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.05. After 48 h of weevil feeding, 1,857 (8.5%) microarray elements identified transcripts as up-regulated, compared to 1,374 (6.3%) down-regulated. Keywords: Stress response
Project description:12plex_pea_2013_02 - 12plex_pea_2013_02_g - What is the effect of a moderate water stress on seed filling (reserve accumulation) and nitrogen remobilisation in pea (Pisum sativum) - Pea plants (genotype Cameor) were subjected to a moderate water stress at the beggining of the seed filling period (12 Days After Pollination) of the second flowering node for a period of 8 days. Samples were collected from Well Watered (WW) plants at the beginning of the stress imposition (point A, T=0), and from Water-Stressed (WS) and WW control plants at the end of the drought period (point B, T=+8). Samples named SEED consisted of seeds from the pod of the second flowering node (seed-WW-A, seed-WW-B and Seed-WS-B). Samples named LEAF consisted of the leaves and stem sections from the two vegetative nodes below the first flowering node (leaf-WW-A, Leaf-WW-B and Leaf-WS-B). Each sample consited of a pool of 3 individual plants and 4 repetitions per condition were carried out.

Project description:Bioinformatic prediction, deep sequencing of microRNA and expression analysis during phenotypic plasticity in the pea aphid acyrthosiphon pisum We developed high throughput Solexa sequencing and bioinformatic analyses of the genome of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum in order to identify the first miRNAs from a hemipteran insect. By combining these methods we identified 155 miRNAs including 56 conserved and 99 new miRNAs. Moreover, we investigated the regulation of these miRNAs in different alternative morphs of the pea aphid by analysing the expression of miRNAs across the switch of reproduction mode.
