Project description:Transcriptomics study of F2 siblings with different dormancy responsiveness due to photoperiod subjected to long day and short day. F2 040 and F2 110 genotypes were previously described as part of a larger F2 population (Fennell et al., 2005, Acta Hort 689:533-539). The F2 040 and 110 genotypes exhibit photoperiod responsive characteristics similar to the Seyval and V. riparia grandparent, respectively (Fennell et al., 2015, doi: 10.3389/fpls.2015.00834)
Project description:A microarray containing 62,876 unigenes selected from CitEST database and prepared by Nimblegen Systems was used for identifying candidate resistance genes against P. parasitica at 48 hours after inoculation Four resistant and four susceptible F1 hybrids were selected from the population derived from the cross between Citrus sunki Hort. ex. Tan. and Poncirus trifoliate (L.) Raf cv. Rubidoux, respectively susceptible and resistant to P. parasitica. It was proposed that differentially expressed genes between resistant and susceptible hybrids and their parents provide essential candidates for identifying transcripts involved in disease resistance
Project description:Space radiations and microgravity both could cause DNA damage in cells, but the effects of microgravity on DNA damage response to space radiations are still controversial.A mRNA microarray and microRNA microarray in dauer larvae of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) that endured spaceflight environment and space radiations environment during 16.5-day Shenzhou-8 space mission was performed. The analyzation this study are further described in Gao, Y., Xu, D., Zhao, L., Zhang, M. and Sun, Y. (2015) Effects of microgravity on DNA damage response in Caenorhabditis elegans during Shenzhou-8 spaceflight. International journal of radiation biology, 91, 531-539.
