Project description:In order to decipher the transcriptome heterogeneity of the the flower meristem, we perfomed single-nuclei RNA-seq in flower mersitems
Project description:Temperate perennial plants have to adapt their growth in order to survive over winter conditions and protect their tissues by entering into dormancy. The dormancy phenomenon is a complex process regulated by many factors, externals (photoperiod and temperature) or internals through the transport towards the buds. In order to better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of dormancy, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of flower buds from the late flowering sweet cherry cultivar 'Fertard' during dormancy, from October 2017 to March 2018.
Project description:We studied early events of flower formation with a temporal resolution by employing a floral induction system to drive synchronised flower development from inflorescence meristem-like tissue (Wellmer et al. (2006)). We generated a developmental time series including vegetative leaf tissue, young developing flowers at zero (t0) and two days after induction of flower development (t2), and fully expanded inflorescences. We analysed histone mark dynamics at those time points and the transcriptomics data presented here served to compare histone mark dynamics to transcriptome dynamics.
Project description:affy_petaldvt_lyon_rose. The objective is to identify genes involved in petal development in rose. We aim at identifying genes whose expression correlates with flower opening and scent emission. In this study, we used a microarray approach to compare the transcriptome of a scented rose flower (PF) versus non-scented rose flower (RF). Samples (petal tissues) were collected at the same time early in the afternoon. Total RNA was extracted using the Plant RNA kit (Macherey Nagel), and then used to hybridize Rosa-Affymetrix microarrays. Keywords: scented vs non-scented flowers
