Project description:Poplar GeneChip was employed to detect genes expressed during the whole floral developmental process, in order to improve understanding of poplar flower development, since current knowledge on flower development was mainly from model plant Arabidopsis. Male and female floral buds of Populus tomentosa were selected at successive stages of the whole development process for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain genes contributed to floral development, but not the dynamic expression changes. To that end, equal amount of floral buds RNA per gender from different stages were mixed for the detection of expressed genes.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA from the control and heat treatments leaves of Populus tomentosa using the Illumina HiSeq4000 platform to generate the transcriptome dynamics that may serve as a gene expression profile blueprint for different response patterns under control and heat stress in Populus tomentosa.
Project description:We take the two year old plant for sampling.Use the Affymetrix poplar gene chip to elucidate the gene functions and mechanisms in Populus tomentosa shoot apex and mature xylem. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in shoot apex and mature xylem. Populus tomentosa shoot apex and mature xylem were taken for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.CB2009304-C and CB2009304-D from shoot apex, CB2009304-G and CB2009304-H from mature xylem.
Project description:We conducted micro-array analysis to quantify the global transcriptome variations in floral buds through the course of the year allowing for identification of changing developmental signals. We used RNA samples from floral buds, with bud scale removed, in the upper crown of a sexually mature Populus deltoides tree 2 hours after sunrise. Three independent samples of floral bud tissues with bud scales removes were collected from the upper crown of a single sexually mature male tree. RNA was extracted from tissues and hybridized on Affymetrix Genechip Poplar Genome Array.

Project description:We take the two year old plant for sampling. Use the Affymetrix poplar gene chip to elucidate the gene functions and mechanisms in Populus tomentosa newly formed developing xylem and lignified xylem. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in newly formed developing xylem and lignified xylem. Populus tomentosa newly formed developing xylem and lignified xylem were taken for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. CB2009304-A and CB2009304-B from newly formed developing xylem, CB2009304-G and CB2009304-H from lignified xylem.

Project description:Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for the survival and proliferation of plants. Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to maintain Fe homeostasis in response of Fe deficiency conditions. To explore the mechanisms of Populus tomentosa response to Fe deficiency, we evaluated the physiological, biochemical and transcriptome differences of P. tomentosa between Fe-sufficient and Fe-deficient conditions. The results showed that, under Fe-free conditions, the chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis pathways in shoots were extremely depressed. The inhibition of these pathways caused chlorosis and reduced shoot growth. Meanwhile, although both two photosynthetic systems (PSI and PSII) were inhibited under Fe limited conditions, PSI is affected more serious and earlier than PSII. In order to maintain Fe homeostasis, several genes involved in Fe regulation network were differentially expressed. At the late period of Fe deficiency response, some genes (BTS, bHLH38/39 and PYE) in PYE regulatory network were up-regulated in roots, while some root-specific ethylene-dependent FIT regulatory genes (EIN3, ERF and FIT) were down-regulated. Moreover, FRO2 was induced in P. tomentosa roots to reduce more Fe3+, which is similar with other strategy I plants. It is interest that we found another Fe2+ transporter gene (NRAMP1) was induced, instead of the well-known Fe2+ transporter gene (IRT1) for strategy I plants, to promote Fe2+ absorption at the Fe deficiency late stage.
