Project description:Investigation of comprehensive gene expression level changes in male strobili of sterile mutant, compared to the fertile plant. We designed a new custum array derived from ESTs of Cryptomeria japonica for this study. Male strobili of C. japonica were collected from Toyama 1 half-sib F2 pedigree. Toyama 1 male-sterile mutant was first reported in Saito, M. , H. Taira, and Y. Furuta (Journal of Forest Research 3(3):167-173). Microarray studies using both individual samples and pooled samples were performed. Total RNA was extracted from male strobili at four developmental stages derived from each seven fertile and male-sterile trees as individual samples. Pooled RNA samples were prepared from four to eight different fertile and sterile plants at three developmental stages.

Project description:Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is an allogamous coniferous species that relies on wind-mediated pollen and seed dispersal, and it is one of the most important forestry tree species in Japan. For accelerating breeding, we collected massive SNPs based on ESTs from several organs using NGS, and thus carried out QTL, GWAS and GS based on high-density linkage maps.
