Project description:To provide a global study of transcriptome changes under drought stress, the gene expression levels of a durum wheat genotype (Triticum durum Desf. cultivar Creso) and two bread wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L. cultivar Chinese Spring -CS- and its deletion line CS_5AL-10) were investigated. The 5A chromosome deletion line (5AL-10) lacks the distal part (43%) of the long arm of chromosome 5A. Each genotype was subjected to two different levels of water stress at the grain filling stage. After anthesis, three different levels of soil water content (SWC) were induced as described below: control (CTRL; SWC=28%), moderate stress (MS; SWC=18%), and severe stress (SS; SWC=12.5%). For each sample, three biological replicates were performed, for a total of 27 hybridizations. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Alessio Aprile.

Project description:Wheat is one of the most significant crops in terms of human consumption in the world. In a climate change scenario, extreme weather event such as heatwaves will be more frequent especially during the grain-filling (GF) stage and could affect grain weight and quality of crops. Molecular mechanisms underlying the response to short heat stress (HS) have been widely reported for the hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) but the regulatory heat stress mechanisms in tetraploid durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) remain partially understood. In this work, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of durum wheat grains to HS during early GF to identify key HS response genes and their predicted regulatory networks under glasshouse conditions.

Project description:Heat stress is one of the major abiotic stress factor that affects wheat yield. Especially, heat stress during grain filling affects grain yield besides reduced grain quality. So, in our present study, three genotypes with varied levels of tolerance to heat stress were chosen. They were subjected to heat stress at two stages for three days viz., early (11-14days-post-anthesis) and late (27-30dpa) grain filling independently under controlled conditions. At 14 and 30dpa, the spikes were harvested from control and stress conditions from all the three genotypes, grains were isolated and pulverized. Hence pulverized tissues are used for RNA extraction and further for transcriptome sequencing using HiSeq 4000. Data were analyzed to identify the genes involved in imparting heat stress tolerance.
Project description:Grain development is a key life cycle stage of many plants. The development of seeds is the basis of agriculture and the primary source of calories consumed by humans. Here, we employ laser micro dissection (LMD) combined with shotgun proteomics to generate a cell-type proteome atlas of developing wheat endosperm at the early and late grain filling stages. We identified 1803 proteins from four different cell layers (aleurone (AL), sub-aleurone (SA), starchy endosperm (SE), and endosperm transfer cells (ETCs)) of developing endosperm at 15 Days after anthesis (DAA) and 26 DAA. Sixty-seven differentially expressed proteins in the aleurone, 31 in the sub-aleurone, 27 in the starchy endosperm, and 50 in the endosperm transfer cells were detected between these two-time points. The results revealed highly distinguishable proteome dynamics in the different cell layers of endosperm over the time course. We observed high general metabolic activity of the grain with regard to carbohydrate metabolism, defence against oxidative stress, and signalling in the different cell layers during the grain filling process. Cell-specific identification of SUT and GLUT transporters suggest a grain filling model via nucellar projections and endosperm transfer cells (ETCs) initiating starch biosynthesis in the starchy endosperm (SE). The identification and regulation dynamics of proteins in the different cell layers demonstrate a functional switch of the proteome from the early to the late grain filling stage. Based on these data, we proposed a model for sugar loading and starch biosynthesis in wheat developing endosperm, including an abundance switch of cell-type-specific key proteins.
Project description:Wheat yield is correlated significantly with grain size which is established during morphological stage. In present study, morphological stage of developing wheat grain were analyzed by RNA-seq.This research will help us to understand the mechnism underlying of grain development. This is the first study on gene expression profiling of morphological stage of developing wheat grain and the results may aid the identification of pathways and genes associated with seed development in wheat.
Project description:The aim of this project is to highlight cell wall proteome of wheat developing at two key stage of its development (150 GDD : middle of endosperm cellularisation and 250 GDD : start of grain filling with storage compounds). It's the first study of wheat grain cell wall proteome in which endosperm were separated of outer layers in order to gain more information about the mechanisms of cell wall assembly and remodeling.
Project description:More than four billion people rely on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as a major constituent of their diet. However, the changing climate threatens wheat production, with periods of intense drought stress already causing widespread wheat yield losses. Much of the research into the wheat drought response has centred on the response to drought events later in development, during anthesis or grain filling. But as the timing of periods of drought stress become increasingly unpredictable, a more complete understanding of the response to drought during early development is also needed. Here, we utilized the YoGI landrace panel to identify the key genes regulating processes such as, stomatal opening, stomatal closing, stomatal morphogenesis and stress hormone signalling related to drought stress.
