Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to evaluate transcriptional regulation of the accumulation of phenols and anthocyanins in young leaves of subtropical forest tree species by using NGS-derived RNA-seq. Methods: Leaf mRNA profiles of subtropical tree Schima superba and Cryptocarya concinna grown under contasting light were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. FPKM produced by RSEM are provided. Results: Assemblies of the sequence data yielded 61,618 and 64,413 unigenes for Schima superba and Cryptocarya concinna,respectively. Overall,75.14% and 66.46% of the unigenes were annotated in the protein database Nonredundant protein (Nr), Nonredundant nucleotide (Nt), Swiss-Prot、Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Cluster of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) and Gene Ontology (GO) for S. superba and C concinna,respectively.A total of 3896, 3488 and 266 genes were differentially expressed in full light-exposed young leaf (FLY), low light-exposed young leaf (LYL) and low light-exposed mature leaf (LML) relative to low light-exposed mature leaf (FML) of S. superba, respectively, and 2097, 2047 and 211 genes were differentially expressed in the corresponding leaves of C. concinna. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of transcriptomes in young and mature leaves of dorminant trees from a subtropical forest in China, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. Photosynthesis-related genes and phenol pathways-related genes were extensively down- and up-regulated in young versus mature leaves of the two species.
Project description:Despite their importance, there remains to be few large scale expression-based studies of tissue-specific expression information in the species belonging to the Triticeae. We used the 55K Affymetrix GeneChip® Wheat Genome Array to generate a gene expression atlas of triticale tissues. The global transcriptional profiles of seed tissues (embryo, endosperm, crease, pericarp and epiderm) and vegetative tissues (root, coleoptile, stem and leaf) were analyzed and co-regulated as well as preferentially expressed genes were identified. Data analysis revealed both novel and conserved regulatory factors underlying Triticeae tissue development and function.
Project description:Rhizophora mucronata Lam., a prevalent mangrove variety of Indo-Pacific region is reported to defy saline stress up to 40 ppt, but the genome or transcriptome behind this tolerance is yet to be investigated. As an initiative to create a reference sequence database, we have forged a set of 46,366,348 paired end RNA-Seq raw reads of Rhizophora mucronata Lam. leaf tissues from Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform (SRA study accession SRP093200 ; Bioproject accession PRJNA345155). All possible gene transcripts were then reconstructed from the RNA raw seq data and 93960 Trinity assembled, annotated transcripts that are being actively expressed at a given time is proposed (TSA accession GGEC00000000). To estimate gene transcript expression, we used Bowtie 2 programme and successfully aligned back up to 95.14% of the filtered reads to the assembled transcriptome. We allowed up to 1-mismatches in the seed region (length =31bp) and all multiple mapped position were reported. Of all filtered reads about 95.14% of reads from each sample were properly aligned back to the assembled transcriptome. Overall we found 52,153 unique transcripts which have expression >=1 FPKM.
Project description:To identify oilseed rape genes with a potential role in N-remobilization during leaf senescence of developmentally old leaves in the lower canopy and young leaves in the upper canopy, transcriptomes of leaf number 4 and leaf number 8 of B. napus (cultivar Mozart) were analysed at different harvest time points under mild N deficiency and optimal N fertilization.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare endothelial small RNA transcriptome to identify the target of OASL under basal or stimulated conditions by utilizing miRNA-seq. Methods: Endothelial miRNA profilies of siCTL or siOASL transfected HUVECs were generated by illumina sequencing method, in duplicate. After sequencing, the raw sequence reads are filtered based on quality. The adapter sequences are also trimmed off the raw sequence reads. rRNA removed reads are sequentially aligned to reference genome (GRCh38) and miRNA prediction is performed by miRDeep2. Results: We identified known miRNA in species (miRDeep2) in the HUVECs transfected with siCTL or siOASL. The expression profile of mature miRNA is used to analyze differentially expressed miRNA(DE miRNA). Conclusions: Our study represents the first analysis of endothelial miRNA profiles affected by OASL knockdown with biologic replicates.
Project description:The yield of wheat is highly impacted by environmental stresses. The combinatorial regulation of sequence-specific transcription factors(TFs) defines a regulatory network that underlies plant stress responses. Here we created a comprehensive catalog of genomic binding sites of 115 TFs underlying abiotic stress responses by leveraging DAP-seq in Triticum Urartu, along with epigenomic profiles. The majority of gene distant TF binding sites(TFBS) are embedded in transposable elements(TEs), whose functional relevance was supported by a signature of purifying selection and active epigenomic features. Furthermore, ~30% non-TE TFBS share high sequence similarity with TE-embeded TFBS, potentially derived from Triticeae-specific TEs and have almost no sequence homology in non-Triticeae species. The expansion of TE-derived TFBS in wheat linked to wheat-specific stress responsive genes, suggesting that TEs are an important driving force for regulatory innovation. Altogether, TEs have significantly and continuously shaped regulatory network in wheat adaptation.
