Project description:Expression profiling of A. thaliana, A. stelleri, R. islandica, and T. salsuginea under the low-oxygen treatment(0.1% O2/99.9% N2, various time points at 0, 1, 3, 8, 24, 72h) Comparative analysis of transcriptional responses to low-oxygen stress with Arabidopsis and its related species to gain comprehensive insights into low-oxygen responses of the species.
Project description:In the present work we report data on the application of an integrated approach on apples held under two levels of low oxygen concentrations throughout the initial 2 months of storage, when, in general, strict control of the effects of the extremely low oxygen concentration is required for a successful DCA performance.
Project description:In order to understand how Pseudomonas aeruginosa responds to low oxygen we grew strain PAO1 with 3 different oxygen concentrations: 2%, 0.4% and 0% supplemented with nitrate as an electron acceptor. Gene expression under these conditions was compared to that of cells grown with 20% oxygen. Keywords: Comparison of transcriptome profiles

Project description:Low-oxygen stress associated with natural phenomena such as waterlogging, results in widespread transcriptome changes and a metabolic switch from aerobic respiration to anaerobic fermentation. High-throughput sequencing of small RNA libraries obtained from low-oxygen stressed and control root tissue identified a total of 65 unique microRNA (miRNA) sequences from 46 families, and 14 trans-acting small interfering RNA (tasiRNA) from 3 families. Low-oxygen stress resulted in changes to the abundance of 46 miRNAs from 19 families, and all 3 tasiRNA families. Chemical inhibition of mitochondrial respiration caused similar changes in expression in a majority of the low-oxygen responsive small RNAs analysed. Our data indicate that miRNAs and tasiRNAs play a role in gene regulation and possibly developmental responses to low oxygen, and that a major signal for these responses is likely to be dependent on mitochondrial function.

Project description:Comparison of stop1-mutant vs. wild type (WT;Col-0) treated with low-oxygen stress, and gene expression responses to low-oxygen in Arabidopsis shoots. Biological replicates: 3 replicates of shoot sample.
Project description:Low-oxygen stress, mainly caused by soil flooding, is a serious abiotic stress affecting crop productivity worldwide. To understand the mechanisms of low-oxygen stress responses and adaptation of plants, we characterized and compared low-oxygen responses in six species with different accessions of the Brassicaceae family. Based on the growth and survival responses to submergence or low-oxygen condition, these accessions could be divided into three groups: (i) Highly tolerant species (Rorippa islandica and Arabis stelleri); (ii) moderately tolerant species (Arabidopsis thaliana [esk-1, Ler, Ws and Col-0 ecotype]); and (iii) intolerant species (Thlaspi arvense, Thellungiella salsuginea [Shandong and Yukon ecotype], and Thellungiella parvula). Gene expression profiling using Operon Arabidopsis microarray was carried out with RNA from roots of A. thaliana (Col-0), A. stelleri, R. islandica, and T. salsuginea (Shandong) treated with low-oxygen stress (0.1% O2/99.9% N2) for 0, 1, 3, 8, 24, and 72 h. We performed a comparative analysis of the gene expression profiles using the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) method. Our comparative analysis suggested that under low-oxygen stress each species distinctively reconfigures the energy metabolic pathways including sucrose-starch metabolism, glycolysis, fermentation and nitrogen metabolism, tricarboxylic acid flow, and fatty acid degradation via beta oxidation and glyoxylate cycle. In A. thaliana, a moderately tolerant species, the dynamical reconfiguration of energy metabolisms occurred in the early time points of low-oxygen treatment, but the energy reconfiguration in the late time points was not as dynamic as in the early time points. Highly tolerant A. stelleri appeared to have high photosynthesis capacity that could produce more O2 and in turn additional ATP energy to cope with energy depletion caused by low-oxygen stress. R. islandica seemed to retain some ATP energy produced by anaerobic energy metabolism during a prolonged period of low-oxygen conditions. Intolerant T. salsuginea did not show significant changes in the expression of genes involved in anaerobic energy metabolisms. These results indicate that plants developed different energy metabolisms to cope with the energy crisis caused by low-oxygen stress.
