Project description:To undersand the machanism underlying the drought and cold srress tolerance of Ammopiptanthus mongolicus,we investigate the gene expression profile of Ammopiptanthus mongolicus leaves under drought stress(1hours,24hours,72hours) and low temperature (1hours,72hours ).
Project description:Ammopiptanthus mongolicus is an ecologically important desert plant. To understand the role of miRNA genes in draught and cold stress adaptation, RNA-seq of small RNA in Ammopiptanthus mongolicus was performed.
Project description:Ammopiptanthus mongolicus is an ecologically important desert plant. miRNA are endogenous 20-22 nt small RNAs that play important roles in regulating gene expression in plants. To identify to the target genes of miRNA in Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, degradome sequencing was performed and a batch of transcripts were found to be targeted by miRNA. The result is helpful in understanding the roles on miRNA in plant development and environmental stress response.
