Project description:The development of viable gametes is especially susceptible to heat in all higher plants, including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. Sicot 71), resulting in substantial reduction in lint quantity and quality at temperatures above 32 °C. Male reproductive cells are especially vulnerable to heat. This study demonstrates a relatively small impact of heat on leaves compared with a profound impact during early and late male gametophyte development. To investigate the mechanisms leading to heat sensitivity, the proteome of pollen was analyzed after two distinct phases of development (tetrads or binucleate microspores) had been exposed for 5 d to 36/25 °C (day/night) or 40/30 °C. The resulting mature pollen grains were collected for quantitative label-free shotgun proteomic analysis. A total of 868 proteins was quantified. Interestingly, Hsp70s were highly induced in response to extreme heat indicating key roles of this family to cope with heat stress.
Project description:We compared different days post-anthesis (5DPA, 10DPA, 15DPA and 25DPA) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in fiber development between G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. In addition, we analysis the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) function using the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery (DAVID). Overall, gene expression pattern have significantly difference between G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. In this study, G. barbadense DEGS in different two DPA are significantly more than G. hirsutum. In addation, there are 18937 DEGs were identified in fruit development and postembryonic development pathways and only upregulated in G. barbadense only. Taken together, these findings suggest that there are considerable differences of gene expression between G. hirsutum and G. barbadense in cotton fiber development different stages.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis in cotton under drought stress. To study the molecular response of drought stress in cotton under field condition global gene expression analysis was carried out in leaf tissue. Gossypium hirsutum cv. Bikaneri Nerma was used for the gene expression analysis. Cotton plants were subjected to drought stress at peak flowering stage. Leaf samples were collected when the soil moisture content was 19.5% which is 50% of the normal control plots. Gene expression profiles in drought induced and their respective control samples were analyzed using Affymertix cotton Genechip Genome arrays to study the global changes in the expression of genome.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis in cotton during fibre development stages. To study the molecular response of drought stress in cotton under field condition global gene expression analysis was carried out at fibre development stages (0, 5, 10 and 20 dpa/Days post anthesis). Gossypium hirsutum cv. Bikaneri Nerma was used for the gene expression analysis. Cotton plants were subjected to drought stress at peak flowering stage. Samples were collected when the soil moisture content was 19.5% which is 50% of the normal control plots. Gene expression profiles in drought induced and their respective control samples were analyzed using Affymertix cotton Genechip Genome arrays to study the global changes in the expression of genome.
