Project description:Transcriptome analysis in tobacco mutant plants using tomato Genechip Genome array Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Petit Havanna) psaA and psbA deletion mutants were constructed through a targeted deletion of 767 and 1152 nucleotides of coding regions, respectively with two gene cassettes: psbAproR:uidA:psbterR and rrnR:aadA:rbcLterR coding for GUS reporter and spectinomycin selectable marker genes, respectively. Standard established procedures were followed for chloroplast transformation to generate the psaA and psbA deletion mutants based on the homologous recombination. Gene expression profiles in psaA and psbA tobacco mutant plants were analyzed using tomato Genechip Genome array to study the global changes in the expression of genome.

Gene expression profiles in psaA and psbA tobacco mutant plants were analyzed using tomato Genechip Genome array to study the global changes in the expression of genome. Total RNA was isolated from psaA and psbA tobacco mutant plants along with the wild type plants. Biotin labeled cRNA was hybridized on tomato GeneChip Genome Array following the Affymetrix protocols. Two independent biological replicates were maintained.
Project description:RNA dependent RNA Polymerase 1 of Nicotiana tabacum modulates ToLCV pathogenesis by influencing a number of defence related genes in N. benthamiana plants.
Project description:Gene expression was measured in different tissues throughout the lifecycle of the Nicotiana tabacum plant to generate the Tobacco Expression Atlas (TobEA).
Project description:A study was carried out to compare gene expression levels between technical replicate samples in order to test the reproducibility of a custom Affymetrix microarray for Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum).
Project description:Six different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tuberosum), Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthamiana were grown at 25C, 16h light and 8h darkness. Mature leaves were harvested after 4-6 weeks. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Tomato, pepper, petunia tobacco and N. benthamiana samples were hybridized against potato samples.

Project description:Upon exposure to light, plant cells quickly acquire photosynthetic competence by converting pale etioplasts into green chloroplasts. This developmental transition involves the de novo biogenesis of the thylakoid system, and requires reprogramming of metabolism and gene expression. Etioplast-to-chloroplast differentiation involves massive changes in plastid ultrastructure, but how these changes are connected to specific changes in physiology, metabolism and expression of the plastid and nuclear genomes is poorly understood. Here a new experimental system in the dicotyledonous model plant tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) that allows us to study the leaf de-etiolation process at the systems level. We have determined the accumulation kinetics of photosynthetic complexes, pigments, lipids and soluble metabolites, and recorded the dynamic changes in plastid ultrastructure and in the nuclear and plastid transcriptomes. Our data describe the greening process at high temporal resolution, resolve distinct genetic and metabolic phases during de-etiolation, and reveal numerous candidate genes that may be involved in light-induced chloroplast development and thylakoid biogenesis.
Project description:Genetically engineering Nicotiana tabacum to express Isoprene Synthase (ISPS) leads to changes in expression of genes assoiated with many growth regulator signaling pathways and signaling networks involved in abiotic and biotic stress responses.
