Project description:Stamen development is an important developmental process that directly affects the yield of Prunus sibirica. In this study, the male sterile flower buds and male fertile flower buds of Prunus sibirica were used as materials to performed RNA-Seq analyses to compare transcription differences. The results would provide a theoretical basis for further investigation of the formation mechanism of male sterile flower.
Project description:Phalaenopsis amabilis, one of the most important flowers in the current international flower market, is a plant that undergoes vernalization and requires low temperature treatment for flowering. There have been few reports on the proteomic analysis of the development of flower buds. In this study, by using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), 4096 differentially expressed proteins were identified in P. amabilis under low temperature treatment, of which 42 were associated with early floral induction, and 18 were verified by mass spectrometry multi-reaction monitoring (MRM). Among the proteins associated with the vernalization pathway, PEQU_11434 (glycine-rich RNA-binding protein GRP1A-like) and PEQU_11045 (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine diphosphorylase) were upregulated compared to their expression in control flower buds. It was therefore inferred that O-GlcNAc glycosylation was involved in the posttranscriptional modification of VRN1 (API homolog) and that the GRP2 protein (glycine-rich RNA-binding protein) was glycosylated to relieve binding to the VRN1 mRNA precursor to promote the expression of VRN1, which initiates floral development. Furthermore, phytochromes A (PEQU_13449, PEQU_35378), B (PEQU_09249) and C (PEQU_41401) were downregulated under low temperature treatment compared to their expression in control flower buds, suggesting that they could repress the expression of the VRN2 gene and thus release its repression of VRN3 to enable the high-level expression of FTPEQU_19304 (FT, VRN3 homolog), which promotes VRN1 expression and then stimulates flowering.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis wild-type (Col0) control flower buds or seedlings with corresponding mutant flower buds or seedlings is performed using Aligent's Whole Arabidopsis Gene Expression Microarray (G2519F, V4, 4x44K).
Project description:Tomato flowering and fruit set require an optimal temperature of 25/22 ± 2˚C (day/night). When the air temperature reaches to above the optimal range (higher than 30/26˚C; day/night), only a small number of flower buds would develop into mature flowers and produce a reduced number of pollen. This project used the iodoTMT proteomics analysis method to identify heat-induced proteomes in these tomato flower buds.

Project description:Lonicera japonica Thunb., known as Jin Yin Hua or Japanese honeysuckle, is an herbal medicine in Asian countries. Its flowers have been used as folk medicine for clinical practice or used as food or making healthy beverage for 1500 years in China. To investigate the molecular developmental processes from L. japonica buds to flowers under UV radiation, comparative proteomics analyses of buds and flowers were performed. Fifty-four differential proteins were identified including 42 increased proteins and 12 decreased proteins. The abundance of proteins related to glycolysis, TCA/organic acid transformation, major carbohydrate metabolism, oxidative pentose phosphate, stress, secondary metabolism, hormone, and mitochondrial electron transport were increased during flower opening process under UV radiation. Six metabolites were identified and relatively quantified by LC-MS/MS in L. japonica buds and flowers. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay revealed that antioxidant activity of L. japonica buds was better than that of flowers. These results suggest that UV-B radiation could induce the production of endogenous ethylene in L. japonica buds, which facilitate the buds blossom and activate the antioxidant system. Additionally, the higher content of metabolites and antioxidant capability in L. japonica buds indicates that L. japonica buds stage might be the better harvest time compared to the flower.
