Seven-day-old white-light-grown Arabidopsis seedlings were exposed for 15 minutes to polychromatic radiation with decreasing short-wave cut-off in the UV range, transferred back to the standard growth chamber and samples were taken 1 and 6 hours after the start of irradiation.

View Samples30 collars were taken from wild type plants or antiOsLIC transgenic plants respectively. One collar from one plant only. The leaves are just sprout 2-3 cm (about 1-2 days) from the stem. For measuring the genes expression level, Wild type plants were taken as control. The developing collar from both line2 of OsLIC antisense transgenic plants and wild type were harvested at the heading stage. The position of the collar was about 1cm above the last developed collar. Total RNA was extracted from the collars using TRIzol regeant (Invitrogen, P/N 15596-018, USA) and purified by using Qiagen RNeasy columns (QIAGEN, Cat. NO. 74104). All the processes for cDNA and cRNA synthesis, cRNA fragmentation, hybridization, washing and staining, and scanning, were conducted according to the GeneChip Standard Protocol (Eukaryotic Target Preparation, Affymetrix). Poly-A RNA Control Kit and the One-Cycle cDNA Synthesis kit were used in this experiment as described in the website: http://www.affymetrix.com/products/arrays/specific/rice.affx.

View SamplesThe aim of this experiment is to test the ability of the ortholog of Arabidopsis LFY gene from Leanworthia crassa (Lcr) to complement an Arabidopsis LFY mutant. Plants used are homozygous lfy6 mutants (EMS alleles) in Ler background which are transformed or not (for the lfy6 mutant) by genomic clones for Arabidopsis LFY (AthLFY) or Leanworthia crassa LFY (LcrLFY). Flowering was synchronized by growing plants in SD then shifting them to LD. 2 time points samples (wild type Ler) were taken at the end of the SD period as a reference for genes induced by shifting to LD, irrespective of the status at the LFY locus.

View SamplesPollen development from the microspore involves a series of coordinated cellular events, and the resultant mature pollen is specialized in function that it can quickly germinate and produces a polar-growth pollen tube derived from the vegetative cell to deliver two sperms for fertilization. Understanding the molecular program underlying pollen development and germination still remains a major challenge for plant biology. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array to comprehensively analyzed the dynamic changes in the transcriptomes of rice pollen at five sequential developmental stages from microspores to germinated pollen. Among the 51,279 transcripts on the array, we found 25,062 pollen-preferential transcripts, among which 2,203 were development stage-enriched. The diversity of transcripts decreased greatly from microspores to mature and germinated pollen, whereas the number of stage-enriched transcripts displayed a U-type change, with the lowest at the bicellular pollen stage; and a transition of overrepresented stage-enriched transcript groups associated with different functional categories, which indicates a shift in gene expression program at the bicellular pollen stage. About 54% of the now-annotated rice F-box protein genes were expressed preferentially in pollen. The transcriptome profile of germinated pollen was significantly and positively correlated with that of mature pollen. Analysis of expression profiles and coexpressed features of the pollen-preferential transcripts related to cell cycle, transcription, the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system, phytohormone signalling, the kinase system and defense/stress response revealed five expression patterns, which are compatible with changes in major cellular events during pollen development and germination. A comparison of pollen transcriptomes between rice and Arabidopsis revealed that 56.6% of the rice pollen preferential genes had homologs in Arabidopsis genome, but 63.4% of these homologs were expressed, with a small proportion being expressed preferentially, in Arabidopsis pollen. Rice and Arabidopsis pollen had non-conservative transcription factors each. These results supply novel insights into the molecular program and key components of the regulatory network regulating pollen development and germination.

View SamplesPlant roots perceive neighbouring roots even when resource depletion is low. The transcriptomic response to the presence or absence of an inferior competitor (Hieracium pilosella) is therefore examined in roots of A. thaliana. The experiment was set up in pots filled with non-sterile sand, that allowed to sample roots of eight week old Arabidopsis plants. 3 biological replicates per treatment were examined. Each of these replicates represents 3 pooled samples from individual plants.

View SamplesT-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and lymphoma (T-LBL) share common morphologic and immunophenotypic features and are treated with similar therapeutic approaches. Nonetheless, they show distinct clinical presentations suggesting that they may represent two different biological entities. In order to investigate T-LBL and T-ALL biological characteristics we used transcriptional profiling approache. Genome-wide gene expression profiling, performed on 20 T-LBL and 10 T-ALL diagnostic specimens, showed that the two malignancies shared a large fraction of their transcriptional profile while a subset of genes appeared to be differentially expressed in T-LBL versus T-ALL. This gene signature included genes involved in chemotactic responses and angiogenesis which might play a role in the different tumor cell localization suggesting that T-LBL and T-ALL could be two distinct diseases with unique transcriptional characteristics.
