Project description:A comparative study ware made to know the abiotic stress tolerance machanism between tolerant and susceptible plants at flowering stage. The tolerance in response to abiotic stresses are sum of expression of thousands of genes at a particular stage. Tomato plants were exposed to drought and heat stress for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To study the molecular mechanism of abiotic stress tolerance to increase the tolerance in tomato plants, transcripts of tolerant and susceptible plants at flowering stage were compared in response to heat and water stress.

Project description:Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones primarily involved in maintenance of protein homeostasis. Their function has been best characterized in heat stress (HS) response during which Hsps are transcriptionally controlled by heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs). The role of Hsfs and Hsps in HS-response in tomato was initially examined by transcriptome analysis using the Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends (MACE) method. Approximately 9.6% of all genes expressed in leaves are enhanced in response to HS, including a subset of Hsfs and Hsps. The underlying Hsp-Hsf networks with potential functions in stress responses or developmental processes were further explored by meta-analysis of existing microarray datasets. We identified clusters with differential transcript profiles with respect to abiotic stresses, plant organs and developmental stages. The composition of two clusters points toward two major chaperone networks. One cluster consisted of constitutively expressed plastidial chaperones and other genes involved in chloroplast protein homeostasis. The second cluster represents genes strongly induced by heat, drought and salinity stress, including HsfA2 and many stress-inducible chaperones, but also potential targets of HsfA2 not related to protein homeostasis. This observation attributes a central regulatory role to HsfA2 in controlling different aspects of abiotic stress response and tolerance in tomato. 2 samples

Project description:After treatment with peptids, SA, JA and Et plants are primed due to the induction of plant immune system allowing to fight against plant pathogens. We used microarray analysis to study the expression pattern of the diferents genes involved in plant defense mechanisms related to biotic and abiotic stresses
Project description:NILs were created for the detailed genetic mapping of a QTL (gFW9.1) in tomato. Residual heterozygocity in recombinant inbred lines from the cross S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme (parental accession E9) × S. pimpinellifolium line (parental accession L5) was used for the generation of a pair of NILs of which line E9 had DNA from parent E9 on a large section of chromosome 9 (5-56 Mb), whereas line L5 had parent L5 DNA. These two lines were tested as rootstocks grafted to a common scion (cv. Boludo) in multi-stress conditions - low phosphorus and drought stress compared to high phosphorus and well-watered conditions. RNA for transcriptomic analysis was prepared from root tissues. Secondary use of data: In a study aiming to identify genes that respond to multiple abiotic stresses, microarray data obtained from different plant species and under different stresses was analysed. A number of conserved stress-responsive genes were identified whose expression was differentially regulated in tomato roots in response to one or several stresses. 10 of these genes were validated as reliable biomarkers whose expression levels are related to different signalling pathways involved in adaptive stress responses. This dataset comprises part of the full stress dataset and is for plant roots harvested after growth under low phosphorus and drought conditions, compared to plant roots harvested after growth under sufficient phosphorus and well watered conditions.
Project description:In the present study, we demonstrated that application of CaCl2 to ‘Micro Tom’ tomato fruit (mature green stage) delayed fruit senescence and mature.
