Project description:Abiotic stress is a major environmental factor that limits cotton growth and yield, moreover, this problem has become more and more serious recently and multiple stresses often occur simultaneously due to the global climate change and environmental pollution. We used microarrays to analyze the crosstalk of responsive genes to multiple abiotic stresses including ABA, cold, drought, salinity and alkalinity in cotton.
Project description:Abiotic stress is a major environmental factor that limits cotton growth and yield, moreover, this problem has become more and more serious recently and multiple stresses often occur simultaneously due to the global climate change and environmental pollution. We used microarrays to analyze the crosstalk of responsive genes to multiple abiotic stresses including ABA, cold, drought, salinity and alkalinity in cotton. Cotton seedlings with different abiotic stress treatment were selected at 14-day after germination for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify genes involved in diverse stresses including abscisic acid (A), cold (C), drought (M), salinity (N) and alkalinity (P) by comparative microarray analysis (3 biological replicates for each abiotic stress treatment).
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE29566: Global gene expression analysis of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under drought stress in leaf tissue. GSE29567: Global gene expression analysis of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under drought stress during fibre development stages. Refer to individual Series
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this experiment was to use RNA-seq to compare the two commercial cotton species Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense and determine what transcripts may account for the better fiber quality in the latter. Methods: RNA was extracted from Gossypium barbadense or Gossypium hirsutum fibers at 10, 15, 18, 21, and 28 days post anthesis. Paired-end, 100-bp RNA-seq was performed on an Illumina HiSeq2000 and the reads were mapped to the Gossypium raimondii genome at www.phytozome.net and non-homologous contig assemblies from Gossypium arboreum. Results from RNA-seq were combined with non-targeted metabolomics. Results: Approximately 38,000 transcripts were expressed (RPKM>2) in each fiber type and approximately 2,000 of these transcripts were differentially expressed in a cross-species comparison at each timepoint. Enriched Gene Ontology biological processes in differentially expressed transcripts suggested that Gh fibers were more stressed. Conclusions: Both metabolomic and transcriptomic data suggest that better mechanisms for managing reactive oxygen species contribute to the increased fiber length in Gossypium barbadense. This appears to result from enhanced ascorbate biosynthesis via gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase and ascorbate recycling via dehydroascorbate reductase.

See Bioproject PRJNA263926 and SRA accession SRP049330 for study design and raw sequencing data and Bioproject PRJNA269608 and TSA accession GBYK00000000 for Gossypium arboreum assembled contig sequences used for transcriptome mapping - Cotton fiber mRNA from 10,15,18,21 and 28 day post anthesis fiber from either Gossypium hirusutm or Gossypium barbadense was sequenced and differential gene expression analysis was conducted between species for each timepoint and between adjacent timepoints. Each timepoint was representative of fiber from 9 individual plants processed as 3 biological replicate pools (material from 3 individual plants per pool).
Project description:Transcriptome analysis in cotton under drought stress. To study the molecular response of drought stress in cotton under field condition global gene expression analysis was carried out in leaf tissue. Gossypium hirsutum cv. Bikaneri Nerma was used for the gene expression analysis. Cotton plants were subjected to drought stress at peak flowering stage. Leaf samples were collected when the soil moisture content was 19.5% which is 50% of the normal control plots. Gene expression profiles in drought induced and their respective control samples were analyzed using Affymertix cotton Genechip Genome arrays to study the global changes in the expression of genome.
Project description:affy_cotton_2011_12 - affy_cotton_2011_12 - In this study we characterized the fiber transcriptomes of the two species, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense that were parental genotypes of a RIL mapping population used previously for phenotypic QTL and expression QTL mapping., We used 454 deep pyrosequencing to characterize cDNAs from developing fibers at two key developmental time-points; 10 and 22 days post anthesis. A unigene set was assembled and annotated, and differential digital gene expression was assessed from the different time-point and genotype representations of the reads within assembled contigs. As a complementary approach, we conducted microarray-based hybridization profiling using the cotton Affymetrix gene chip and labeled cDNAs from fibers at 11 dpa and for the same two genotypes and compared differentially expressed genes identified by the two platforms. The 454 unigenes were also mined for the presence of microsatellite repeats and SNPs that will be useful markers for mapping and marker-assisted selection in cotton improvement.-Total RNA was extracted from 11 dpa-old fibers from the two genotypes, Guazuncho 2 (Gossypium hirsutum) and VH8-4602 (G. barbadense), and included two replicates of each. RNA was checked for quality and quantity using an Agilent Bioanalyser 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA, http://www.home.agilent.com) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. The RNA was sent to the Australian Genome Research Facility Ltd. (http://www.agrf.org.au, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) for labeling and hybridization to the Affymetrix Genechip® Cotton Genome Array (21,854 genes) (Affymetrix, http://www.affymetrix.com/). -
