Project description:We generated 12 Gb of high-quality sequencing data (~6 Gb per sample) to clarify the molecular mechanism of salt tolerance between wild tipe and transgenic DgWRKY5 chrysanthemum under normal condition. A total of 1078 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (593 up-regulated and 485 down-regulated) were identified between CK and DgWRKY5, including genes encoding transcription factors and protein kinases. We identified numerous differentially expressed genes that exhibited distinct expression patterns, and stress-related genes that were highly differentiated in wild tipe and transgenic DgWRKY5 chrysanthemum. These genes have known or potential roles in stress tolerance relative and were enriched in functional gene categories potentially responsible for chrysanthemum resistance. Therefore, they are appealing candidates for further investigation of the gene expression and associated regulatory mechanisms related to stress response .
Project description:Chrysanthemum is a garden plant with good economic benefit and high ornamental value. Chrysanthemum in the key period of flowering in autumn and winter, vulnerable to cold damage, affecting the normal growth of the chrysanthemum plant and even death. little is known regarding the study of histone crotonylation in plant cold response. In this study, we first obtained reference chrysanthemum transcriptome data via RNA sequencing. Next, we quantitatively investigated the chrysanthemum proteome, crotonylation, and the association between them in chrysanthemum following low temperature. In total, 365669 unigenes, 6693 proteins and 2017 crotonylation sites were quantified under low temperature stress. There were 24631 up-regulated and 22648 down-regulated unigenes (absolute log2-fold change > 1 and P value<0.05), 393 up-regulated and 500 down-regulated proteins using a 1.2-fold threshold (P<0.05). The lysine crotonylation mainly influenced in photosynthesis, ribosome, antioxidant enzyme and ROS system. In the process of low temperature, 61 lysine crotonylation sites in 89 proteins were up-regulated and 87 lysine crotonylation sites in 72 proteins are down-regulated (1.2-fold threshold, P<0.05).
Project description:Gene expression analysis of chrysanthemum infected with three different viruses including Cucumber mosaic virus, Tomato spotted wilt virus, and Potato virus X have been performed using the chrysanthemum 135K microarray. Mock and each virus infected chrysanthemum plants were subjected for microarray analysis.
