Project description:Using this microarray data, we identified 19898 probes (717 upregulated and 1512 downregulated in the mock- and MeJA-treated leaf samples at ‘1wk’ and ‘2wk’ stages; 17669 with differential expression in these samples), compared with the mock-treated sample at ‘0wk’ stage. This work aims to identify the genes related to MeJA-induced senescence of tobacco whole-plant, and found several genes differentially expressed between the mock- and MeJA-treated samples at the same stage.
Project description:We reported the application of high-throughput sequencing technology (RNA-seq) for the transcriptome of T. chinensis cells and the transcriptional alternatives of that responded to MeJA were comprehensively and quantitatively assessed with high-throughput sequencing technology (RNA-seq). By sequencing > 29 million reads (200 bp in length) of cDNA from each of MeJA-treated T. chinensis cells at 16 h (T16) and the control (T0), we identified 46,581 transcripts and uncovered 13,469 genes differentially expressed in response to MeJA. We provided functional clues for understanding the regulation mechanisms of MeJA-mediated defense responses and taxol biosynthesis.

Project description:Sequencing of hairy roots of broccoli induced by MeJA
Project description:Both exogenously supplied and transgenic induced cytokinin production can effectively delay senescence of broccoli florets during postharvest storage. However, a substantial comparison between the mechanisms of these two treatments on delaying broccoli florets senescence was absent. Here, we conduct microarray analysis on broccoli florets of N6-benzylaminopurine treated and ipt-transgenic broccoli that harbor a senescence-associated-gene promoter triggering isopentenyltransferase gene expression during postharvest storage.
Project description:To understand signal transduction mechanism by MeJA in rice, we have analyzed transcription profile with 60K Rice Whole Genome Microarray after MeJA treatment. Gene transcripts were extracted from ten individual rice plants treated with 100 uM MeJA for 6 hrs. RNA samples from these plants were used to generate cyanine-3 (Cy3) and Cy5-labeled complementary DNA (cDNA) probes, which were then hybridized to the microarray. Each data set was obtained from three biological repeats independently.
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:We used Affymetrix 1.0 ST arrays to compare the transcriptome of 4 weeks‐day‐old plants sprayed with 250uM of MeJA or mock (control). For the experiments we used wild-type (Col-0), phyB-9 and jaz10 single mutants and jaz10phyb double mutant. Samples were harvested after 3hours of induction with MeJA or mock. We performed a first analysis with the transcriptomes of wild‐type (Col-0) to identify those group of genes that are up‐ and down‐regulated by MeJA treatment (2 fold-changes). We founded 719 genes whose expression was statistically significantly different between the two treatments. To gain knowledge into the regulation of phyB over these set of 719 genes, we contrasted their expression levels against phyB transcriptome. By cluster analysis, we identified five major groups of genes, where in two of them the transcript levels increased in presence of MeJA (clusters 1 and 2) and three whose expression decrease after MeJA treatment (Cluster 3, 4 and 5).
Project description:Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch) flavonoids have many pharmacological effects, as the main chemical component of licorice, its content directly affects the quality of licorice. Methyl jasmine (MeJA) is an important signaling molecule in the secondary metabolic pathway of plants, but the biological mechanisms that stimulating the production of licorice flavonoids and the related changes in transcriptome are still less studied. In this research, the expression of two key enzyme genes: Chalcone synthase (CHS) and Cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) in the biosynthesis pathway of licorice flavonoids was determined, and it was significantly different after 9 hours of MeJA induction. The transcriptome profiles of licorice cells at 9 hours after MeJA treatment were analyzed to investigate the transcriptional alterations of licorice cell in response to MeJA elicitation by “RNA-seq”. 151, 529 transcripts (200 bp in length) of cDNA from the samples were generated, and 116, 907 unigenes were found. MeJA appeared to stimulate a large number of genes involved in several relevant functional categories, such as carbohydrate metabolism and encoding transcription factors, 11 MYB transcription factors expressed significant differences were screened. This comprehensive description of gene expression information could help elucidate the molecular mechanism of MeJA-mediated biosynthesis of licorice flavonoids and MeJA-regulated network formation.

However, a substantial comparison between the mechanisms of these two treatments on delaying broccoli florets senescence was absent. Here, we conduct microarray analysis on broccoli florets of N6-benzylaminopurine treated and ipt-transgenic broccoli that harbor a senescence-associated-gene promoter triggering isopentenyltransferase gene expression during postharvest storage. Analysis used RNA of Green King inbred line 104 as control sample for comparison to the experimental samples of ipt-transgenic line 102, 103 and parental line Green King as well as 10 ppm BA treated Green King at harvest and after postharvest storage at 25 centigrade in the dark for 4 days.
Project description:Stresses from either biotic or abiotic origins can have significant impact towards plant physiology and molecular regulation. Jasmonate acid (JA) and its derivative, methyl JA (MeJA) are hormonal cues released by plants which signal defensive response to curb the damage from such stresses. In an attempt to study the defensive response, a tropical herbal plant, Persicaria minor (P. minor) which is known for its pungent smell as well as various bioactivities including antimicrobial and anti-cancer, has been treated with MeJA to invoke the stress signaling. Such elicitation has been performed in various plants such as Arabidopsis, rice and hairy root cultures of certain herbs, yet how MeJA directly influenced the proteome of a herbal species particularly P. minor has not been previously elucidated. In this study, P. minor plants was exogenously treated with MeJA and its proteome was investigated using a new proteomics approach called SWATH-MS.
