Project description:Our results showed that hundreds of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in floral sex initiation period, but thousands of DEGs were involved in stamens and ovules development process. Moreover, the DEGs were mainly showed up-regulation in male floral initiation, but mainly down-regulation in female floral initiation. Male floral initiation was associated with the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway while female floral initiation was related to the phytohormone signal transduction pathway. In addition, the floral organ identity genes played important roles in floral sex differentiation process and displayed a general conservation of the ABCDE model in J. curcas.
Project description:Glycine max was cultivated in China for nearly 5000 years, commonly referred to as soybeans, now it has become one of the important economic crops in the world (Li et al., 2008). Post-translational modifications are known to regulate many cellular processes, which are dynamic and reversible and can make protein functions changed.(Westermann and Weber, 2003). To date, among 400 PTMs have been detected, such as Acetylation, Ubiquitination, Phosphorylation, Malonylation, Succinylation and Methylation(Colak et al., 2013; Weinert et al., 2013).
