Project description:We conducted a culture experiment by deeply submerging plants in swine wastewater in culturing Iris tectorum and co-culturing Iris tectorum and Dictyosphaerium sp., and found that the plants grew sub-normal in the plant-microalgae co-culture while the plants were dead after 21 days in the plant culture. We generated a comprehensive RNA-seq dataset from the submerged Iris tectorum leaves in both the plant culture and the plant-microalgae co-culture, aiming at providing information on the response mechanisms of the plants to waterlogging stress. Besides raw reads of the RNA-seq dataset, we used DEseq2 algorithms to detect the differently expressed genes in the plants between the different cultures. Additionally, we performed the plant disease resistance gene analysis for all the differentially expressed genes.
Project description:Identification of target transcripts for the putative chloroplast RNA binding protein CFM2 in Zea mays. CFM2 was immunoprecipitated from a chloroplast extract. Chloroplast extracts were prepared from WT tissue. RNA from the pellet and from the supernatant for each pulldown was labelled with different fluoro-dyes and hybridized onto an array covering the complete maize chloroplast genome. Messages enriched in the immunoprecipitate from WT tissue are likely targets for CFM2.
