Project description:The transcriptome profiling of three samples in A. mongolicum Keng were studied using next-generation RNA sequencing under different drought stress conditions. This study aimed to identify genes of A. mongolicum Keng metabolism pathways that might be involved in this plant’s response to water deficit. 14.33 Gb high quality reads were assembled into 92,752 unigenes (unique transcripts), with a mean length of 1,303 bp. 76.26% had homologous genes in function databases.
Project description:Torpor is an energy-conserving state in which animals dramatically decrease their metabolic rate and body temperature to survive harsh environmental conditions. Here, we report the noninvasive, precise, and safe induction of a torpor-like hypothermic and hypometabolic state in rodents by remote transcranial ultrasound stimulation at the hypothalamus preoptic area (POA). We achieve a long-lasting (> 24 hours) torpor-like state in mice via closed-loop feedback control of ultrasound stimulation with automated detection of body temperature. Ultrasound-induced hypothermia and hypometabolism (UIH) is triggered by activation of POA neurons, involves the dorsomedial hypothalamus as a downstream brain region and subsequent inhibition of thermogenic brown adipose tissue. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of POA neurons reveals TRPM2 as an ultrasound-sensitive ion channel, the knockdown of which suppresses UIH. We also demonstrate that UIH is feasible in a non-torpid animal, the rat. Our findings establish UIH as a promising technology for the noninvasive and safe induction of a torpor-like state. To investigate the mechanism of ultrasound-induced neuronal activation, we applied ultrasound stimulation in hypothalamic preoptic area region and performed single-nuclei RNA sequencing in the ultrasound stimulated neurons (US+) and neurons without ultrasound stimulation (US-). In our sn-RNAseq analysis, we examined the association between the expression of neuronal activation markers (or IEGs) and ion channels, as well as neuron types.
Project description:The experiment was conducted using four 11-year-old potted grapevines of V. vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon grafted on SO4 (Selection Oppenheim No. 4) grown in a phytotron. Vines were trained on a Guyot trellising system and each vine carried 4-10 clusters of grapes. The experiment started approximately 1 week before veraison, when berry softening started, and continued to fruit maturity. The two temperature regimes consisted of a high day (06.00–20.00 h) temperature (max.35C) and a control (max. 25C). Under both conditions, the night-time (20.00–06.00 h) temperature was 20C.

Project description:Wheat plants (T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring) were grown in a greenhouse and watered daily to avoid drought stress. The main stem ears were labelled when flowering. At 12 days after anthesis, the plants were transferred to growth chambers with a temperature regime of 24/17◦C (14 h/10 h) day/night cycle. At 15 days after anthesis, half of the plants were applied a temperature regime of 37/17◦C for 3 days and were harvested on the 4th day after 4 h under heat with light; the remaining plants were kept at 24/17◦C as a control and were harvested at the same sampling time.
