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. 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:We produced RNA-seq data from mantle tissue of the King Scallop, Pecten maximus, and identified expression of pathways involved in pigmentation of the shell.
Project description:We report the application of a high-throughput technique, RNA-seq, to study the transcriptomic response of P. chlororaphis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens growing in co-cultures in King B solid medium
Project description:Hence, in order to investigate the gene expression profiles of skeletal muscle, we analyzed the four stages (1 day, 14 days, 28 days, and 2 years old) of breast muscle in White-King pigeon using transcriptome sequencing.
Project description:In the present study, we were interested in gene expression changes in the pectoralis muscle of juvenile king penguins during the transition from terrestrial to marine life. Strictly terrestrial during their first year after hatching, king penguin chicks must then depart to sea to reach nutritional emancipation and pectoralis muscle is largely involved in penguin adaptation to the marine environment. To compare these transcriptomic profiles, we realized heterologous hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChip Chicken Genome Arrays, as the chicken is the closest model species for which microarrays are available. The development of a new algorithm, MaxRS, allow us to determine differentially expressed genes implicated in energetic metabolism or involved in cellular defense against reactive oxygen species and associated injuries.

Data from NI and SA penguin juveniles are already on GEO n°GSE17725
Project description:Metaproteomic analysis of King Ghezo's tomb wall in Abomey (Benin), capital of the ancient kingdom of Dahomey. Without any a priori metaproteomics interpretation allowed identification of the proteins and their taxonomical origins, and thus archaeological reconstruction of voodoo rituals of consecration and maintenance of vitality.

We compared muscle sample biopsy from 4 penguin juveniles captured just before they undergone their first immersion to cold water (named NI for Never Immersed) and 3 penguin juveniles that had completly accomplished their acclimation to marine life (named SA for Sea Acclimated).
