(2009) Transcriptomic comparison in the leaves of two aspen genotypes having similar carbon assimilation rates but different allocation patterns under elevated CO2. New Phytologist. submitted. • This study compared the leaf transcription profiles, physiological characteristics, and primary metabolites of two Populus tremuloides genotypes (clones 216 and 271) known to differ in their responses to long-term elevated [CO2] (e[CO2]) at the Aspen FACE site near Rhinelander, WI. • Physiological responses of these clones are similar in photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and leaf area index under e[CO2] yet very different in growth enhancement (0-10% in clone 216; 40-50% in clone 271). While few genes responded to long-term exposure to e[CO2], the transcriptional activity of leaf e[CO2]-responsive genes was distinctly different between the clones, differentially impacting multiple pathways during both early and late growing seasons. • Analysis of transcript abundance and carbon/nitrogen biochemistry suggests that the CO2-responsive clone (271) partitions C into pathways associated with active defense/response to stress, carbohydrate/starch biosynthesis and subsequent growth. The CO2-unresponsive clone (216) partitions C into pathways associated with passive defense (e.g. lignin, phenylpropanoid) and cell wall thickening. • This study indicates that there is significant variation in expression patterns between different tree genotypes in response to long-term exposure to e[CO2]. Consequently, future efforts to improve productivity or other advantageous traits for carbon sequestration should include an examination of genetic variability in CO2 responsiveness.

Keywords: Tree genotype comparison under elevated [CO2] 24 two-channel arrays, directly comparing RNA from trees grown in the ambient (control) [CO2] to RNA derived from the same genotype grown under e[CO2]. For each of 4 experimental conditions (clone 216 early season; clone 271 early season; clone 216 late season; clone 271 late season), three independent biological replicates derived from trees grown in three independent replicate FACE rings were used. In addition, each clone and time point included dye swap reciprocal two-color experiments for each biological replicate. Thus, six data points per cDNA are included (three biological replicates with two technical replicates each).
Project description:Aspen cell cultures were fed 5 mM salicyl alcohol at the early exponential phase (5 days after subculture). Cells were harvested from fed (SL) or unfed (C) cells after 48 hours. Gene expression changes were analyzed using a custom 7K aspen EST array.
Project description:The expression of stress-related genes induced by feeding of chestnut moth larvae (Conistra vaccinii L.) was studied with Vitreoscilla hemoglobin-expressing (VHb) and non-transgenic hybrid aspen lines (Populus tremula x P. tremuloides). Besides the herbivore-injured leaves (L1), cDNA microarray analyses were conducted using uninjured leaves of hybrid aspen lines positioned above (A) and below (B) the herbivory exposed leaves.
Project description:In this study we explain the physiological, biochemical and gene expression mechanisms adopted by ammonium nitrate-fed Arabidopsis thaliana plants growing under elevated [CO2], highlighting the importance of root-to-shoot interactions in these responses A transcriptomic analysis enabled the identification of photoassimilate allocation and remobilization as fundamental process used by the plants to maintain the outstanding photosynthetic performance. Moreover, based on the relationship between plant carbon status and hormone functioning, the transcriptomic analyses provided an explanation of why phenology accelerates in elevated [CO2] conditions.

Gene expression changes were analyzed using a custom 7K aspen EST array. RNA was extracted from 3 independent control (C) and 3 salicyl alcohol-fed (SL) samples, and one control and one treated sample were randomly paired for hybridization (3 biological replicates). Dye-swap hybridizations were carried out for each pair of samples.

Besides the herbivore-injured leaves (L1), cDNA microarray analyses were conducted using uninjured leaves of hybrid aspen lines positioned above (A) and below (B) the herbivory exposed leaves. Two-condition experiment, control vs. herbivory exposure. Two hybrid aspen lines: non-transgenic V617 and VHb expressing V617 /45. Of each plant, three leaf types were analysed: the injured/uninjured leaf (L1) and nonorthostichous leaf positioned above (A) and below (B). Biological replicates: 3. On each array, two samples representing L1, A or B leaf type of control and herbivory treatment of either V617 or V617/45 line. line V617: wt_A_rep1-3, wt_B_rep1-3, wt_L1_rep1-3 line V617/45: VHb_A_rep1-3, VHb_B_rep1-3, VHb_L1_rep1-3 leaf type A: wt_A_rep1-3, VHb_A_rep1-3 leaf type B: wt_B_rep1-3, VHb_B_rep1-4 leaf type L1: wt_L1_rep1-3, VHb_L1_rep1-5
