Project description:Humic substances are principal components of soil organic matter. They have ecological importance as they intervene in regulating a large number of chemical and biological processes that occur in natural ecosystems. Their ability to improve plant growth has been well established in diverse plant species and growth conditions, although the mechanism responsible for this biological action is poorly understood. Microarray analysis might give us more information about up or down regulation of different biological processes. Wheat plants have been grown hydroponically and treated with Humic acid. Seeds were germinated in obscurity during 10 days, and grown in nutrient solution during 10 days. Harvests were conducted 24 hours, 72 hours and 30 days after treatment application, in order to study early response or a more sustained effect during time.
Project description:Soil humic substances are known to positively influence plant growth and nutrition. In particular, low-molecular fractions have been shown to increase NO3- uptake and PM H+-ATPase activity and alter expression of related genes. Changes in maize root transcriptome due to treatment with nitrate (NO3-), Water-Extractable Humic Substances (WEHS) and NO3-+WEHS were analyzed.
Project description:Low concentrations of the dissolved leonardite humic acid HuminFeed® (HF) prolonged the lifespan and enhanced the thermal stress resistance of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Furthermore growth was impaired and reproduction delayed, effects which have also been identified in other polyphenolic monomers, including tannic acid, rosmarinic acid, and caffeic acid. Moreover, a chemical modification of HF (HF-HQ), which increases its phenolic/quinonoid moieties, magnified the biological impact on C. elegans. To gain a deep insight into the molecular basis of these effects, we performed global transcriptomics on young adult (3 d) and old adult (11 d) nematodes exposed to two concentrations of HF and young adults (3 d) exposed to two concentrations of HF-HQ.

Project description:RNG140 is an RNA-binding protein that increases in expression during eye lens differentiation and is involved in lens formation. However, the relevance of RNG140-mediated translational regulation to differentiation is not well understood. RNG140-mediated translational regulation operates in the mouse eye, where RNG140 knockout increased the translation of long mRNAs. mRNAs involved in lens differentiation, such as crystallin mRNAs, are short, and can escape translational inhibition by RNG140 and be translated in differentiating lenses.

The global transcriptome was compared in Caenorhabditis elegans mutant strain GE24, pha-1(e2123) exposed to 0, 0.2 and 2.0 mM HuminFeed® (HF) or Huminfeed-Hydroquinone (HF-HQ). Nematodes were harvested as 3 or 11 day old adults (for HF) or 3 day old adults (for HF-HQ).
