Project description:affy_duplicature_lyon_rose. The objective is to identify the genes involved in petal doubling in rose. In this study we are using two rosa gallica genotypes: wild-type (simple flower rose) and Cardinal de Richelieu (double flower rose), and two rosa hybrida genotypes : Souvenir de la Malmaison, which has about 110 petal, and its bud sport cultivar, Souvenir de St Anne’s. In this study, we used a microarray approach to compare the transcriptome of double flower rose (CDR) versus simple flower rose (G). The objective is to identify genes whose expression is associated with the double flower phenotype. These genes are putative candidates involved in the control of petal organ number per flower. Floral buds were dissected under a microscope and pooled in eppendorf tubes. Tissue samples were harvested at the same time during 3 weeks in April 2007. Total RNA was extracted from the pools of flowers using the Plant RNA kit (Macherey Nagel), and then used to hybridize Rosa-Affymetrix microarrays. Keywords: genotype comparison
Project description:affy_petaldvt_lyon_rose. The objective is to identify genes involved in petal development in rose. We aim at identifying genes whose expression correlates with flower opening and scent emission. In this study, we used a microarray approach to compare the transcriptome of a scented rose flower (PF) versus non-scented rose flower (RF). Samples (petal tissues) were collected at the same time early in the afternoon. Total RNA was extracted using the Plant RNA kit (Macherey Nagel), and then used to hybridize Rosa-Affymetrix microarrays. Keywords: scented vs non-scented flowers

Project description:Pink-flowered strawberry is a new promising ornamental flower derived from intergeneric hybridization (Fragaria × Potentilla) with bright color, prolonged flowering period and edible fruits. However, the transcriptional events underlying anthocyanins biosynthesis pathway have not been fully characterized in its petal coloration. The pigment compounds accumulated in its fruits were the same as cultivated strawberry, but different from in its flowers. To gain insights into the regulatory networks related to anthocyanin biosynthesis and identify key genes, we performed an integrated analyses of the transcriptome and metabolomes involved in red petals at three development stages (Bud stage (L), Coloration beginning stage (Z) and Big bud stage (D)) of pink-flowered strawberry. Transcript and metabolite profiles were generated through high-throughput RNA-sequencing and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, respectively. The results showed that the main pigments of red and dark pink petals were anthocyanins, among which cyanidins were the main compounds. There were no anthocyanins detected in white-flowered hybrids. A total of 50 285 non-redundant unigenes were obtained from the transcriptome databases, among which 59 differentially expressed genes could be identified as putative homologues of flower coloration related genes. Based on a comprehensive analysis relating pigmentation compounds to gene expression profiles, the mechanism of flower color formation was examined in pink-flowered strawberry. Furthermore, a new hypothesis explaining the lack of color phenotype of the white-flowered strawberry hybrids from the level of the transcriptome. The expression patterns of FpDFR gene and FpANS gene corresponded to the accumulation patterns of cyanidin contents in pink-flowered strawberry hybrids with different shades of pink; Whereas other anthocyanin biosynthesis genes were weakly related flower color deepened. Moreover, FpANS, FpBZ1 and FpUGT75C1 genes were the key factors that lead to the inability to accumulate anthocyanins in the white petals of PFS hybrids. Meanwhile, the competitive effect of FpFLS gene and FpDFR gene may further inhibit anthocyanin synthesis. The data presented herein are important for understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the petal pigmentation and will be powerful for integrating into novel genes that are potential targets for breeding new valuable pink-flowered strawberry cultivars.
Project description:Water deficit stress (WDS) is a crucial factor that causes the inhibition of petal expansion and abnormal flower opening in rose. The regulatory mechanisms of petal expansion by WDS at transcriptional level were investigated by analysis expression profiles under WDS.
Project description:Using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform, 39,598; 32,403and 42,208 genes were identified in flower buds of B. carinata cv.W29, B. napus cv. Zhongshuang 11 and their hybrids, respectively. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in pollen wall assembly, pollen exine formation, pollen development, pollen tube growth, pollination, gene transcription, macromolecule methylation and translation, which might be associated with impaired fertility in the F1 hybrid. These results will shed light on the mechanisms underlying the low fertility of the interspecific hybrids and expand our knowledge of interspecific hybridization.
