Project description:Alkali stress is one of the most severe abiotic stresses affecting agricultural production worldwide. To understand the phosphorylation events in soybean in response to alkali stress, we performed the TMT labeling-based quantitative phosphoproteomic analyses on soybean leaf and root tissues under 50 mM NaHCO3 treatment.
Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a series of sterol hormones in plants, which play important physiological roles in many aspects of plant growth and development processes. Exogenous application of BR and its inhibitors PPZ to investigated the roles of BR in soybean root growth and development. Transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed to identified lots number of differential expression genes(DEGs) by eBL (2,4-epicastasterone, 24-epiCS) and PPZ (propiconazole) treatment of soybean root tips(1 cm).
Project description:Two soybean isolines that differed in leaf phenotype were profiled by high throughput RNA and small RNA (sRNA) sequencing. A Clark isoline abbreviated as CF and homozygous for a dominant mutant allele, Lf1, that specifies a five-foliate compound leaf was compared to wild type Clark, designated CS, which is homozygous for the standard allele that produces trifoliate leaves. Although Lf1 is dominant, it presents variable expressivity as the young plantlets with the Lf1Lf1 genotype initially have trifoliate leaves in the first few weeks, after which they transition to five-foliate leaves. This study provides insight into the initial understanding of leaf development in soybean by revealing a number of small RNAs differentially expressed between the CS and CF. Out of over 200,000 unique sequences, 913 showed similarities to 122 known miRNAs in soybean.
Project description:The nuclei of Glycine max from different tissues were collected. The samples were: soybean seed mid-maturation stage (10mm), seed late cotyledon stage (5mm), seed early cotyledon stage (3mm), seed heart stage (1mm), soybean green pods without seeds (stage), soybean flower bud (early flowering stage), soybean shoot apical meristem (stage), soybean trifoliate leaf (R5 stage), and soybean true leave (stage). The library construction was performed applying 10 Genomics technology.
Project description:Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) is a novel naturally occurring PTM, which is firstly discovered in histone. The system Khib detection at proteomics level has been performed in various species and tissues for the function and role characterization of Khib in biological activities. However, the Khib study in plant species is relatively less and the plant leaf, one of the critical plant organ, haven’t been studied. In the present study, the first root tissues lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome analysis was performed in soybean specie with antibody immunoprecipitation affinity and high resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Bioinformatics analyses including function classification, subcellular location predication, gene ontology enrichment and pathway enrichment were conducted to demonstrate the roles of these Khib sites and proteins in soybeanleaf.
Project description:Soybean (Glycine max, cv Williams82) leaf petiole explants exposed to 25 ul/l ethylene for 0 to 72 h. Explants were prepared from 21 day-old greenhouse grown plants. Leaf abscission zones (LAZ) consisted of 2 mm of tissue collected below the leaf blade. The petioles (NAZ) consisted of approximately 3 to 4 mm of petiole tissue with the AZ removed. Explants and tissue were collected in February, March and April of 2013. Tissue and RNA were collected at USDA, Beltsville, MD (Mark L Tucker, Joonyup Kim and Ronghui Yang). Library construction and sequencing was completed at Univ of Cornell, Itheca, NY using a Illumina HiSeq 2000 (James J Giovannoni and Zhangjun Fei).
Project description:Two Near Isogenic soybean (Glycine max) lines were grown in hydroponic conditions with either 50uM ferric nitrate or 100uM ferric nitrate. After 10 days, half the plants were harvested (total root tissue). At 12 days after planting, iron was added to plants grown in low iron conditions bringing them up to sufficient iron growth conditions. Root tissue was harvested for the remaining plants at 14 days after planting. Gene expression analysis from root tissue of two Near Isogenic Lines (NILs), Clark (PI548553) and IsoClark (PI547430), grown in iron stress or iron stress recovered conditions.
Project description:RNA-seq was used to characterize gene expression in soybean from a wide range of tissues. The primary focus of the project was small RNAs, and the identification of microRNAs and phased siRNA-generating loci, but RNA-seq data were generated from the same samples. This project was supported by the United Soybean Board.
