Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Cenococcum geophilum ectomycorrhizal Pine roots, sclerotia and extramatrical mycelium compared to free-living mycelium . Ectomycorrhizal pine roots, sclerotia, extramatrical mycelium and control mycelium were harvested after 90 days and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 150bp were generated and aligned to the C. geophilum reference genome (https://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Cenge3/Cenge3.home.html).
Project description:Global transcriptional analysis of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is challenging due to limited molecular tools. PtGen2, a 26,496 feature cDNA microarray, was fabricated and used to assess drought-induced gene expression in loblolly pine propagule roots. Statistical analysis of differential expression and weighted gene correlation network analysis were used to identify drought-responsive genes and further characterize the molecular basis of drought tolerance in loblolly pine.
Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Cenococcum geophilum ectomycorrhizal poplar roots compared to free-living mycelium . Ectomycorrhizal poplar roots and control mycelium were harvested after 60 days and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 150bp were generated and aligned to the C. geophilum reference genome (https://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Cenge3/Cenge3.home.html).
