Project description:Potato wild relatives (Solanum section Petota) are a source of genetic diversity for improving traits in modern cultivars (S. tuberosum) to meet climate challenges. Potatoes are susceptible to multiple abiotic and biotic stresses and have undergone constant improvement through breeding programs worldwide. The allotetraploid S. acaule Bitter has been used to introgress cold tolerance into potato breeding germplasm. The cold challenged transcriptome of S. acaule was compared with that of autotetraploid S. tuberosum cv. Atlantic, and was found to have fewer differentially expressed genes than the latter. Specifically, subgenome 1 has less downregulated alleles compared to subgenome 2 and S. tuberosum.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE34110: Gene expression study after 3 days of cold exposure in a Solanum tuberosum cultivar called Desirée GSE34116: Gene expression study after 3 days of salt exposure in a Solanum tuberosum cultivar called Desirée Refer to individual Series
Project description:The intent was to study, from transcriptome analysis, shade and drought responses in Solanum tuberosum (potato). We performed Illumina 50 bp single-end RNA-seq in tissues of control and treated var. Spunta wild-type plants. Drought experiments also included two independent AtBBX21-overexpressing (BBX21-OE) potato lines.
