Project description:Roots adaptation to drought stress was analyzed using transcriptome and metabolomics profiles in two wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) genotypes: Y12-3 (drought resistance) and A24-39 (drought susceptible).
Project description:Roots adaptation to drought stress was analyzed using transcriptome and metabolomics profiles in two wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) genotypes: Y12-3 (drought resistance) and A24-39 (drought susceptible). Roots samples of Y12-3 and A24-39 genotypes grown under well-watered (control) and water-stressed (7 days of withholding water) were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix wheat microarrays chip.
Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes to alter the transcript accumulation levels in grass-clump dwarf lines, which are synthetic hexaploid lines from triploid hybrids crossed between tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum cv. Langdon or T. turgidum ssp. carthlicum) and diploid wheat progenitor Aegilops tauschii (KU2025). No up-regulation of defense-related genes was observed under the normal temperature, and down-regulation of wheat APETALA1-like MADS-box genes, considered to act as flowering promoters, was found in the grass-clump dwarf lines. Together with small RNA sequencing analysis of the grass-clump dwarf line, unusual expression of the miR156/SPLs module could explain the grass-clump dwarf phenotype.

Together with small RNA sequencing analysis of the grass-clump dwarf line, unusual expression of the miR156/SPLs module could explain the grass-clump dwarf phenotype. Expression patterns were compared between the three synthetic hexaploid lines showing the wild-type phenotype (as a reference) and grass-clump dwarf. Total RNA samples were isolated from crown tissues of the plants grown at 24°C under long day (18-h light and 6-h dark) condition for 8 weeks. Two independent experiments were conducted in each exprement.
Project description:Wheat is one of the most significant crops in terms of human consumption in the world. In a climate change scenario, extreme weather event such as heatwaves will be more frequent especially during the grain-filling (GF) stage and could affect grain weight and quality of crops. Molecular mechanisms underlying the response to short heat stress (HS) have been widely reported for the hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) but the regulatory heat stress mechanisms in tetraploid durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) remain partially understood. In this work, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of durum wheat grains to HS during early GF to identify key HS response genes and their predicted regulatory networks under glasshouse conditions.
Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes to alter the transcript accumulation levels in a grass-clump dwarf line, which is a synthetic hexaploid line from triploid hybrids crossed between tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum cv. Langdon) and a diploid wheat relative Aegilops umbellulata (KU-4052). Up-regulation of metabolic and catabolic processes-related genes for cell wall-associated molecules was observed, and down-regulation of wheat APETALA1-like MADS-box genes, considered to act as flowering promoters, was found in the grass-clump dwarf line. Unusual expression of the branching-related SPLs and flowering time regulation-related MADS-box genes could explain the grass-clump dwarf phenotype.
Project description:Gene expression levels of newly synthetic triploid wheat (ABD), its chromosome-doubled hexaploid (AABBDD), stable synthetic hexaploid (AABBDD), and their parents, Triticum turgidum (accession KU124, AABB) and Aegilops tauschii (accession KU2074, DD) were compared to understand genome-wide change of gene expressions during the course of amphidiploidization and genome stabilization. Stable synthetic hexaploid which were maintained through self-pollinations for 13 generations using the same combinations of the parents for production of synthetic common wheat.
Project description:This data set extends the original data from the UPLC–Orbitrap-MS portion of this article:Molecular cytogenetic identification and nutritional composition evaluation of newly synthesized Triticum turgidum-Triticum boeoticum amphiploids (AABBAbAb)
