ABSTRACT: The expression of tobacco root genes under the treatment of methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, and the combination of salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate.
Project description:We used mass spectrometry to comprehensively analyze the endogenous peptide pools generated from functionally active proteins in the secretome fromthe model plant Physcomitrella patens. Treatment with the plant stress hormones methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid induced significant differential changes in the peptide pool.
Project description:Potato cultivar Russet Norkotah was grown in a growth chamber at 16 hour light/8 hour dark at 22°C fertilized with Osmocote. Plants were from tissue culture, transplanted to soil and used approximately 4 weeks after transplanting. RNA was extracted from leaves using Trizol. Plants were sprayed with one of four treatments, either 1mM salicylic acid, 100 µM methyl jasmonate, 1 mg/ml arachidonic acid or 100 µM methyl jasmonate plus 1 mM salicylic acid together. Samples were harvested at 3, 24 and 72 hours after spraying. Each salicylic acid or arachidonic acid treatment has 3 biological replicates done in parallel, using leaves pooled from 2 plants. The control for SA or AA treated plants were water sprayed plants, from which leaves of 3 different plants were pooled at each timepoint, done side-by-side with the treated samples. Methyl jasmonate or MJ+SA treatments had 2 biological replicates each, using leaves pooled from 2 plants. A separate set of water sprayed plants (from the SA and AA control treatments) were used as controls, and pooled leaves from 3 plants were used at each time-point, and done in parallel with the treated samples.

Project description:This study evaluates the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings (Col-0 ecotype) treated with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) or with the salicylic acid analog benzothiadiazole (BTH).
Project description:Peptides are small molecules that play important roles in numerous biological processes. We used mass spectrometry to comprehensively analyze the endogenous peptide pools generated from functionally active proteins inside the cell from the model plant Physcomitrella patens. The secretomeand cellular peptidomes did not show a significant overlap, and the respective protein precursors had different protein degradation patterns. Furthermore, treatment with the plant stress hormones methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid induced significant differential changes in the two peptide pools.
Project description:Phytohormones are involved in diverse aspects of plant life including the regulation of plant growth, development and reproduction, as well as governing stress and defence responses. We have generated a comprehensive transcriptional reference map of the early potato responses to exogenous application of the defence hormones abscisic acid, brassinosteroid, ethylene, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid. Amongst microarray probes representing the 39000 predicted genes, a total of 3175 and 2873 probes were significantly differentially expressed at 1 h and 6 h after hormone treatment, respectively. Marker genes identified for the early hormone responses in potato include: a homeodomain 20 transcription factor (DMG400000248) for abscisic acid; a SAUR gene (DMG400016561) induced in Epibrassinolide treated plants at 6 hours; an osmotin gene (DMG400003057) specifically enhanced by the ethylene precursor aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid; a gene weakly similar to AtWRKY40 (DMG402007388) that was induced by salicylic acid and; a jasmonate ZIM-domain protein 1 (DMG400002930) which was specifically activated by methyl jasmonate. An online database has been set up to query the expression patterns of potato genes represented on the microarray that can also incorporate future microarray or RNAseq-based expression studies.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE13478: Pearl millet seedlings treated with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) GSE13479: Pearl millet seedlings infected with rust (Puccinia substriata) GSE13480: Pearl millet seedlings treated with salicylic acid (SA) Refer to individual Series
Project description:We investigated the transcriptional response of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa x deltoides) leaves to methyl jasmonate treatment over a 24 hour time course. Experiments were conducted using clonal trees under greenhouse conditions at the University of British Columbia. We used the 15.5K poplar cDNA microarray platform previously described by Ralph et al. (Molecular Ecology 2006, 15:1275-1297). Differentially expressed genes were determined using three criteria: fold-change between methyl jasmonate-treated and tween-treated control leaves > 1.5-fold, P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.05. This study identified > 1,000 differentially expressed genes in response to methyl jasmonate treatment.
