Project description:we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to characterize the proteome-level changes associated with salt stress response in Medicago sativa cv. Zhongmu-1 and Medicago truncatula cv. Jemalong A17 roots. The tandem mass spectrometry analysis of the differentially accumulated proteins resulted in the identification of 60 and 26 proteins in Zhongmu-1 and Jemalong A17 roots, respectively.
Project description:Publication title: Pseudonodule formation by wild type and symbiotic mutant Medicago truncatula in response to auxin transport inhibitors This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE27991: Expression data of Medicago truncatula Jemalong A17 roots treated with auxin transport inhibitors GSE28171: Expression data of Medicago truncatula Jemalong A17 roots treated with S. meliloti exoA mutant or auxin transport inhibitors GSE28172: Expression data of Medicago truncatula skl1-1 roots treated with S. meliloti wild-type or auxin transport inhibitors GSE28173: Genes differentially expressed in wild-type Medicago truncatula plants during nodulation Refer to individual Series
Project description:We used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate specific cells from the Medicago truncatula nodule meristem (M), the distal infection (DIZ), the proximal infection zone (PIZ), infected cells (IC) and uninfected cells (UIC) from the fixation zone. Based on Medicago GeneChips, we identified the cell- and tissue-specific programm of gene expression in Medicago truncatula root nodules. Nodules were harvested three weeks after inoculation of Medicago truncatula (genotype Jemalong A17) plants with Sinorhizobium meliloti strain 2011. Nodules were fixed in Farmer's fixative and subsequently embedded in paraffin. 8 M-BM-5m de-paraffined sections were used to capture cells from the nodule meristem, distal infection zone, proximal infection zone, infected cells and uninfected cells from the fixation zone, using an Arcturus Pixcell II laser capture microscope. 3 biological replicates were used for each cell-/tissue type. After RNA extraction, the RNA was amplified and used for Medicago Gene Chip hybridization.
Project description:A Salt stress (100mM) was applied to root tips of Medicago truncatula (Jemalong A17 genotype) for 1h. Microarrays were used to compare the transcriptome of these plants (4 replicates) with the transcriptome of control plants, not submitted to the salt stress (4 replicates)
Project description:A BAP (benzylaminopurine, cytokinin) solution (10-7 M) was applied to root tips of Medicago truncatula (Jemalong A17 genotype) for 1h. Microarrays were used to compare the transcriptome of these plants (4 replicates) with the transcriptome of control plants, not exposed to BAP (4 replicates)
Project description:affy_hypoctemp_medicago - The characterization of several genotypes of the model Legume Medicago truncatula showed a genetic variability for germination and hypocotyl heterotrophic growth at low temperature and optimal temperature. The most important contrast was between the accessions Jemalong A17 and F83005.5. In order to find genes differently expressed between temperatures and genotypes, the present work focuses on transcriptome profiling during hypocotyl heterotrophic growth under low (10°C) and optimal (20°C) temperature conditions for both genotypes. We used Jemalong A17 and F83005.5 seeds coming from the Medicago truncatula Biological Resource Center in Montpellier, produced in 2006. Experiments were performed in the dark to mimic pre-emergence growth. Pots (6.5 cm diameter, 10 cm high) were incubated in growth chambers either at 10°C or 20°C. They were filled with 500g sand and 100ml of a nutrient solution for young seedlings growth (Saglio and Pradet, 1980). Per pot, five scarified seeds were sown at 1.5 cm depth. Seedlings were harvested at three times: 35°Cd (degree day), 50°Cd and 100°Cd. At each timepoint, about 50 seedlings were harvested and hypocotyl lengths was measured. Hypocotyl were cut and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for RNA extractions.
