Project description:We microdissected each compartment from 6-micron paraffin sections using the Leica AS LMD system to identify all genes active in different compartments of a soybean seed containing globular-stage embryos. Experiment Overall Design: Globular-stage seed compartments were isolated using the Leica AS LMD system. Total RNA was amplified and hybridized with Affymetrix Soybean Genome Arrays.
Project description:We used laser capture microdissection (LCM) to capture soybean seed compartments and profiled the transcriptomes of several compartments using next-generation sequencing. We profiled the transcriptomes of the embryo-proper and the suspensor region from globular stage embryos and the seed coat parenchyma layer of early maturation stage seeds using the Illumina GAIIx system. Illumina sequencing of transcripts from laser-captured embryo proper and suspensor of globular stage embryo and seed coat parenchyma layer of the early maturation stage seed.

Project description:We investigated soybean seed development because (1) soybean seeds are a major source of food and fuel, (2) soybean seeds have been an excellent system for studying the basic processes controlling seed development for over three decades, and (3) new soybean genomic resources, including the sequence of the soybean genome and the gene expression profiles for all seed compartments, tissues, and cell types, can be used to gain new insights into the regulatory processes required for seed differentiation. We sequenced messenger RNA populations of specific soybean seed compartments, which will provide new insights into gene expression that are important for M-bM-^@M-^\making a soybean seed.M-bM-^@M-^] Eight compartments of the globular stage of the soybean seeds were analyzed. Three or four biological replicates were collected for each compartment.
