Project description:Wheat, an important human food crop, is very sensitive to temperature changes. Thermosensitive sterile lines (TMS) is a natural material for exploring the effects of anther development and temperature changes on male fertility. In order to study the possible molecular mechanism of regulating protein activity during anther fertility alteration, proteomics analysis based on high resolution mass spectrometry were used to study the binuclear anther of wheat YS3038.
Project description:The analysis of gene expression during wheat development: Gene expression measurements were carried out on a developmental tissue series for wild-type wheat (cv. Chinese Spring) using the Affymetrix Wheat GeneChip. Thirteen tissues at defined developmental stages were chosen to match the barley (cv. Morex) tissue series of Druka et al. 2006 that used the Affymetrix Barley1 GeneChip. Three replicates of: root tissue at two different developmental stages, leaf, crown, caryopsis, anther, pistil, inflorescence, bracts, mesocotyl, endosperm, embryo and coleoptiles were hybridised. Comparisons between this wheat data and the barley dataset were performed and are available at http://contigcomp.acpfg.com.au [PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Tim Sutton. The equivalent experiment is TA3 at PLEXdb.]

Project description:sRNA and RNA sequencing profile of barley and wheat anther
Project description:The RNA-seq was used to identify differentially regulated miRNAs between a male sterile and wild type tomato during anther development.
Project description:Despite their importance, there remains a paucity of large scale expression-based studies of reproductive development in the species belonging to the Triticeae. As a first step to address this deficiency, a gene expression atlas of triticale reproductive development was generated using the 55K Affymetrix GeneChip® Wheat Genome Array. The global transcriptional profiles of the anther/pollen, ovary and stigma were analyzed at concurrent developmental stages and co-regulated as well as preferentially expressed genes were identified. Data analysis revealed both novel and conserved regulatory factors underlying Triticeae floral development and function. Triticale reproductive tissues (anther, ovary, stigma) were collected at 4 successive stages using pollen development as a developmental reference: tetrad (TET), uninucleate microspore (UNM), bi-cellular pollen (BCP), and tri-cellular pollen (TCP). Mature pollen grains (MPG) were also collected. Three biological replicates were analyzed for each tissue using the 55K Affymetrix GeneChip® Wheat Genome Array.
Project description:Anther development is a complex process, and the study of its molecular mechanism has an important impact on plant breeding. This study aims to identify microRNA (miRNA), mRNA, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA) related to anther development of Chinese cabbage, so as to construct competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks and provide valuable knowledge for the exploration of pollen development mechanism of Chinese cabbage. A total of 9055 mRNA, 585 miRNA, 1344 lncRNA, and 165 circRNA were identified as differentially expressed in the anther of Chinese cabbage compared with Mix (roots, stems and leaves) by whole-transcriptome sequencing. The anther-related ceRNA-miRNA-target gene regulatory network through miRNA targeting relationships was constructed and 450 pairs of ceRNA relationships, including 97 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA, 281 DEmiRNA-DElncRNA, and 23 DEmiRNA-DEcircRNA interactions were obtained in Chinese cabbage. The genes in the ceRNA network were enriched in the pathways including starch and sucrose metabolism, carbon metabolism, pyruvate metabolism and carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, plant hormone signal transduction, and RNA degradation. This study identified some important genes and their interaction lncRNAs, circRNAs, and miRNAs involved in microsporogenesis (BraA06g035480.3C), tapetum and callose layer development (BraA09g009280.3C, BraA04g028920.3C, and BraA10g022680.3C etc), pollen wall formation (BraA06g000980.3C, BraA02g023130.3C, and BraA10g029650.3C etc), and anther dehiscence (BraA10g027200.3C, BraA04g023740.3C, and BraA04g030860.3C etc). Additionally, we analyzed the promoter activity of six anther predominant expression genes, and the results showed that they were all expressed specifically in the anther of Chinese cabbage. This study lay the foundation for further research on the molecular mechanism of anther growth and development.
