Project description:To extend our previous knowledge from our gene expression studies on Flower pedicel Abscission zone using Affymetrix microarray chip we have employed whole transcriptome analysis by NGS as a discovery platform to identify and add the transcripts to pre-existing database. We designed the Customized AZ Microarray chip with the transcripts obtained from NGS (includes novel transcripts), pre existing Agilent probes, and some additional transcripts from previous databases. The flower pedicel AZ tissue and non abscission(NAZ) pedicel tissues was sampled at six time points (0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 h), following flower removal, and analyzed for their gene expression profiles using the customized AZ microarray.

Project description:In tomato, the mutants that lack the abscission zone (AZ) within pedicels are called a ‘jointless’ and are agronomically significant in that they increase the tomato fruit yield for industrial processing. We have employed DNA microarray expression analysis to identify genes with the potential to play a role in development of the pedicel abscission zone of tomato, and identified several classes of differentially regulated genes between pedicels of the AZ-forming line (wild-type) and pedicels of the non AZ-forming lines (jointless mutant and MC-suppressed transformant). Tomato flower pedicels were harvested at anthesis stage from the AZ-forming line (wild-type) and the non AZ-forming lines (jointless mutant and MC-suppressed transformant), and subjected to DNA microarray analyses. Experiments were performed twice with independently prepared samples.

Project description:Organ abscission is a general activity found in plants and its regulation is an important agronomical concern because the trait directly affects the harvesting efficiency of fruits or grains and the yields. Generally, abscission takes place at a specialized cell layer, which is called abscission zones (AZs). So far, investigations on organ abscission have been focused mainly on the cell activities during organ detachment. By contrast, little attention has been paid to the properties of AZ cells at the pre-abscission stage. The pre-abscission cells are at a turning point for initiating abscission; until an abscission initiating signal is provided, the AZ cells keep their physiological state, while once the signal occurs, the cells immediately change their state into the onset of abscission. In this study, to screen the genes involved in the regulation of abscission at the pre-abscission state, we investigated the gene expression profiles of tomato flower pedicels at anthesis. The screening revealed many genes that characterize cell identities in each pedicel region. We harvested tomato flower pedicels at the anthesis stage and divided them into three parts: the abscission zone (AZ) and the flanking proximal- (Prox) and distal- (Dis) regions. RNA was isolated and subjected to DNA microarray analyses. Experiments were performed three times with independently prepared samples.
