Project description:Six small RNA and six mRNA libraries from leaves and roots of the two cultivars, KU50 and Arg7, and their wild progenitor, W14, were subjected to NGS. Analysis of the sequencing data revealed 29 conserved miRNA families and 33 novel miRNA families. Together, these miRNAs potentially targeted a total of 360 putative target genes. Whereas 16 miRNA families were highly expressed in cultivar leaves, another 13 miRNA families were highly expressed in storage roots of cultivars. Co-expression analysis revealed that the expression level of some targets had negative relationship with their corresponding miRNAs in storage roots and leaves; these targets included MYB33, ARF10, GRF1, RD19, APL2, NF-YA3 and SPL2, which are known to be involved in plant development, starch biosynthesis and response to environmental stimuli.
Project description:We conducted a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis in soybean leaves and roots treated with zinc (Zn) deficiency using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology. Two biological replicates of RNA-seq were included for Zn-sufficient leaves (ZSL), Zn-deficient leaves (ZDL), Zn-sufficient roots (ZSR), and Zn-deficient roots (ZDR). Therefore a total of eight libraries were constructed. Using a 2-fold change and a P-value ≤0.05 as the cut-off for selecting the differentially expressed transcripts, we globally identified Zn-deficiency responsive genes. At least 20 genes that are potentially involved Zn homeostasis were significantly changed by Zn deficiency, including 7 ZIP (ZRT, IRT-related protein) transporter genes, 3 nicotianamine synthase genes, and 7 metallothionein genes. At least 48 genes encoding likely Zn-binding proteins were found to be responsive to Zn deficiency in leaves or roots. Eighty-five transcription factor genes were significantly changed by Zn deficiency in leaves or roots, including 5 bZIP members and 10 Golden 2-like members. In addition, some other groups of genes which are possibly related to reactive oxygen species scavenging, calcium and hormone signaling, and protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation also differentially expressed under Zn deficiency.
Project description:Illumina 100bp single end sequencing was used to profile the transcriptomes of wild type (Columbia) and opt3-2 mutant Arabdiopsis leaves and roots under hydroponic conditions ( 4 weeks old, bolting stage). Sequencing resulted in 381 million uniquely mapping reads accross 36 libraries. Each sample was barcoded and divided into three sequencing lanes, while each genotype/tissue combination is represented by 3 biological replicates consisting of 3-4 individual plants (2 genotypes x 2 tissues x 3 biological replicates x 3 technical replicates = 36 libraries). Our results show the leaves and roots of the opt3-2 mutant have different iron sensing transcriptional programs in place which is independent of the iron status of the plant.
Project description:We report the genome-wide transcriptome of soybean seeds across several stages of seed development and the entire life cycle using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. Specifically, we profiled whole seeds containing globular-stage, heart-stage, cotyledon-stage, and early maturation-stage embryos. We also profiled dry soybean seeds, and vegetative and reproductive tissues including leaves, roots, stems, seedlings, and floral buds. Illumina sequencing of transcripts from whole seeds at five stages of seed development (globular, heart, cotyledon, early-maturation, dry), and vegetative (leaves, roots, stems, seedlings) and reproductive (floral buds) tissues.
Project description:Treatment of rice roots with glutamate (Glu) induces systemic disease resistance against rice blast in leaves. To analyze the effect of Glu on the transcriptome of rice, rice roots were treated with Glu solution, and then fourth leaves were harvested and analyzed by Agilent rice microarray.
Project description:Examination of 3 tissue types in Oryza glabberima (accession CG14) by high throughput sequencing for small RNA discovery and expression profiling sRNA and mRNA from leaves, roots, and panicles
Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNA) transcribed from intergenic regions of eukaryotic genomes play important roles in key biological processes; yet, plant lincRNAs remain poorly characterized. Here we profiled lincRNA expression in inflorescences, leaves and roots using ATH lincRNA v1 array. we found 92% lincRNAs could be detected in at least 2 ATH lincRNA v1 arrays and majority of the lincRNAs were expressed at levels higher than those of pri-miRNAs but lower than those of mRNAs.Using a cut-off of 2-fold change, we identified 149 lincRNAs preferentially expressed in inflorescences, 232 in leaves and 164 in roots.

Project description:Qualitative metabolomics study on leaves, roots and acorns from Quercus ilex plantlets. We analyzed polar(metanol:water) and apolar (chloroform) fractions.
Project description:Chilling is a major stress to plants of subtropical and tropical origins including maize. To reveal molecular mechanisms underlying chilling tolerance and chilling survival, we investigated maize transcriptome responses to chilling stress in differentiated leaves and roots as well as in crowns with meristem activity for survival. Chilling stress on maize shoots and roots is found to each contribute to seedling lethality in maize. Comparison of maize lines with different chilling tolerance capacity reveals that chilling survival in maize is highly associated with upregulation in leaves and crowns of abscisic acid response pathway, transcriptional regulators and cold response as well as downregulation of heat response in crowns. Comparison of chilling treatment on whole and part of the plants reveals that response to distal-chilling is very distinct from, and sometimes opposite to, response to local- or whole-plant chilling in both leaves and roots, suggesting a communication between shoots and roots in environmental perception. In sum, this study details chilling responses in leaves, roots and crowns and reveals potential chilling survival mechanism in maize, which lays ground for further understanding survival and tolerance mechanisms under low but non-freezing temperatures in tropical and subtropical plants.
