Project description:Time course of gene expression profiles during seed development and maturation in Brassica napus were studied using Combimatrix Brassica microarray. The time course expression of 90K Brassica napus EST contigs were measured at 8 developing seed stages of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 DAF (days after flowering) using single color microarray

RNAseq of Brassica napus seed

Project description:mRNA expression profiling of the embryo, endosperm (micropylar, peripheral, chalazal), and seed coat (outer, inner, chalazal, chalazal proliferating tissue) of the developing Brassica napus seed. Tissues were isolated using laser microdissection (LMD) from Brassica napus seeds at the globular, heart, and mature green stages of seed development.

Brassica napus control vs. heat stress

Project description:High temperature stress results in yield loss and alterations to seed composition during seed filling in oilseed rape (Brassica napus). However, the mechanism underlying this heat response is poorly understood. In this study, we employed a microarray analysis with silique walls and seeds from the developing siliques (20 days after flowering) of Brassica napus that had undergone heat stress.

Global analysis of lipid metabolism regulation in Brassica napus developing seeds

Project description:Gene expression profiles during seed development and fatty acid (FA) metabolism, as well as the relevant regulation, of Brassica napus were studied through multiple high-throughput genomic approaches. Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) using seed materials obtained a total of 68,718 tags, of which 23,897 were unique and 503 tags were functionally identified, and revealed the transcriptome of approximately 35,000 transcripts in B. napus developing seeds. Further, ~22,000 independent ESTs were obtained by large-scale sequencing using immature embryos at different stages, and 8343 uni-ESTs and 3355 full-length cDNAs were identified respectively, resulting in the systemic identification of B. napus FA biosynthesis-related genes. Gene expression profiles were further studied employing cDNA chip hybridization to reveal the global regulatory network of FA metabolism in developing seeds. Together with the analysis on FA amounts and composition, it was shown that 17-21 days after pollination (DAP) was a crucial stage for transition of seed to sink tissue. High expressions of FA biosynthesis-related genes and transition of FA components are mainly at stages 21 DAP or 21-25 DAP respectively. In addition, compared to Arabidopsis, more critical roles of starch metabolism are detected for B. napus seed FA metabolism and storage components accumulation. Crucial effects of starch metabolism, carbon flux, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP), photosynthesis, and other regulators in FA metabolism were discussed.
