Project description:Root and leaf samples from Brassica rapa line R-O-18 were compared. The results will be compared to the same samples hybridised to the Affymetrix Brassica Exon 1.0 ST array. 6 samples were hybridised. Triplcate samples of 11 day old roots and 2 semi-expanded leaves from 23 day old Brassica rapoa R-O-18 plants.
Project description:Transcription profiling by array of 10 days old Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis seedlings treated with 2mM methyl jasmonate by spraying and harvesting 48 hours past treatment
Project description:Among Brassica rapa, rapid cycling Brassica rapa and Brassica rapa inbred line Kenshin showed contrasting leaf morphology. To identify genes associated with leaf morphology, four distinct F2 progeny of RcBr X Kenshin cross and their parents were selected. Leaf samples were collected from 6 materials, isolated total RNA, and subjected to newly developved 135K microarray. Experiments were performed with three or two biologic
Project description:The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the performance of the Affymetrix Brassica Exon 1.0 ST array. Root and leaf samples from Brassica rapa line R-O-18 were compared. The same RNA samples were hybridised to the Agilent Brassica array, to compare the performance of the two arrays. 6 samples were hybridised to each array. Triplicate samples of 11-day-old roots and 2 semi-expanded leaves from 23-day-old Brassica rapoa R-O-18 plants.
Project description:In this study genome-wide gene expression profiling was used to analyze mechanisms of drought tolerance in Brassica rapa. Using an Illumina Mi-Seq platform we sequenced RNA from shoot tissues of drought tolerant and drought sensitive B. rapa genotypes in control conditions and after application of osmotic stress. Differentially expressed genes between the different conditions and genotypes were used to identify drought relevant gene networks.
Project description:Auxin amino acid conjugates are considered storage forms of auxins available as a source of active auxins on the plant demand. We treated Brassica rapa seedlings with 0.01 mM indole-3-acetyl-L-alanine (IAA-Ala), indole-3-propionyl-L-alanine (IPA-Ala), and indole- 3-butyryl-L-alanine (IBA-Ala) and examined their effects on the transcriptome. All auxin conjugate treatments caused similar patterns in transcription profiles compared to the control, but with different intensities of over- and under-expression depending on the treatment. Most auxin-related DEGs were identified after IBA-Ala treatment, followed by IPA-Ala and IAA-Ala, respectively.

Project description:The mapping and functional analysis of quantitative traits in Brassica rapa can be greatly improved with the availability of physically positioned, gene-based genetic markers and accurate genome annotation. In this study, deep transcriptome RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of Brassica rapa was undertaken with two objectives: SNP detection and improved transcriptome annotation. We performed SNP detection on two varieties that are parents of a mapping population to aid in development of a marker system for this population and subsequent development of high-resolution genetic map. An improved Brassica rapa transcriptome was constructed to detect novel transcripts and to improve the current genome annotation. Deep RNA-Seq of two Brassica rapa genotypesâR500 (var. trilocularis, Yellow Sarson) and IMB211 (a rapid cycling variety)âusing eight different tissues (root, internode, leaf, petiole, apical meristem, floral meristem, silique, and seedling) grown across three different environments (growth chamber, greenhouse and field) and under two different treatments (simulated sun and simulated shade) generated 2.3 billion high-quality Illumina reads. In this experiment, two pools were made, with one pool consisting of 66 samples collected from growth chamber and another pool consisting of 60 samples collected from greenhouse and field. Each pool was sequenced on eight lanes (total 16 lanes) of an Illumina Genome Analyzer (GAIIx) as 100-bp paired end reads.
Project description:A mapping population of Brassica rapa (BraIRRI, IMB211xR500) was grown under four external calcium and magnesium concentrations in controlled conditions. RNA was extracted and hybridised to the Affymetrix Brassica Exon 1.0 ST array. The aim of the experiment was to identify cis- and trans- expression quantitative trait loci.
