Project description:We analyze the effect of the downexpression of the ARES lncRNA (AT4G14548) on the transcriptome of Arabidopsis roots. 12 DAS roots were harvested and total RNA extracted for RNA sequencing.
Project description:The goal of this project is to compare the primary metabolite profile in different tissue types of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Specifically, plants were grown hydroponically under the long-day (16hr light/day) condition at 21C. Tissue samples, including leaves, inflorescences, and roots were harvest 4 1/2 weeks post sowing. Untargeted primary metabolites profiling was carried out using GCTOF.
Project description:Plant roots located in the upper soil layers are prone to experience high temperatures. To gain insight into the effect of high temperature on root development and functioning, we exposed five-day-old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings grown on agar plates to 30 °C for 48 hours, and compared the gene expression profile in the root tip with that from seedlings that remained at 22 °C.
