Project description:The current study is aimed at elucidating the proteomic responses in durum wheat Triticum aestivum L triggered by native PGPB, CP_4 (Bacillus subtilis) alone and in combination with AM fungi Glomus fasciculatum under field conditions Our results suggest that native PGPB B subtilis ( in combination with AM fungi Glomus fasciculatum (B+ may promote differential abundance of multiple regulatory seed storage proteins over untreated control Thus, combined application of native PGPB and AMF could offer a more sustainable approach to enhance crop yield.
Project description:In this study we assed protein variation in the liver and brain tissue of hake among three sampling populations by using 2D/DIGE and mass spectrometry techniques"
Project description:The carotid body (CB) is a major arterial chemoreceptor containing glomus cells whose activities are regulated by changes in arterial blood contents including oxygen. We employed the single cell RNASeq method by performing next-generation sequencing on single glomus cellderived cDNAs to eliminate contamination of genes derived from other cell types present in the CB. This study has generated a CB expression profile containing novel glomus cell specific genes. The wealth of information provided through this study offers a valuable foundation for identifying molecules functioning in the CB.
Project description:Invasive plants often interact with antagonists that include native parasitic plants and pathogenic soil microbes, which may reduce fitness of the invaders. However, to date, most of the studies on the ecological consequences of antagonistic interactions between invasive plants and the resident biota focused only on pairwise interactions. A full understanding of invasion dynamics requires studies that test the effects of multiple antagonists on fitness of invasive plants and co-occurring native plants. Here, we used an invasive plant Mikania micrantha, a co-occurring native plant Coix lacryma-jobi, and a native holoparasitic plant Cuscuta campestris to test whether parasitism on M. micrantha interacts with soil fungi and bacteria to reduce fitness of the invader and promote growth of the co-occurring native plant. In a factorial setup, M. micrantha and C. lacryma-jobi were grown together in pots in the presence versus absence of parasitism on M. micrantha by C. campestris and in the presence versus absence of full complements of soil bacteria and fungi. Fungicide and bactericide were used to suppress soil fungi and bacteria, respectively. Findings show that heavy parasitism by C. campestris caused the greatest reduction in M. micrantha biomass when soil fungi and bacteria were suppressed. In contrast, the co-occurring native plant C. lacryma-jobi experienced the greatest increase in biomass when grown with heavily parasitized M. micrantha and in the presence of a full complement of soil fungi and bacteria. Taken together, our results suggest that selective parasitism on susceptible invasive plants by native parasitic plants and soil microorganisms may diminish competitive ability of invasive plants and facilitate native plant coexistence with invasive plants.
Project description:The carotid body is a peripheral chemoreceptor organ containing a neurogenic niche with stem cells and immature neuronal cells that convert into new neurons (glomus cells) upon activation by hypoxia. We have used microarray to compare the gene expression programs of glomus cells and neuroblasts, both in normoxic and hypoxic (3 days) conditions, to highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying fast neurogenesis
Project description:Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive monogenic disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the CTSC gene. In this study we performed whole genome sequencing on two siblings, with the PLS-typical symptoms. After sequencing the CTSC gene was analyzed to confirm the PLS diagnosis genetically.
Project description:To exploit targets or signaling pathways affected by PLS-123 during anti-tumor process, gene expression profiling was carried out in representative OCI-Ly7 cells treated for 48 hours. OCI-Ly7 cells were treated with ibrutinib, PLS-123 or vehicle for 48 hours.
Project description:The transcriptome profile of arbuscular mycorrhiza established at 4 weeks post inoculation between Medicago truncatula and Glomus mosseae as well as between Medicago truncatula and Glomus intraradices is compared
