Intercropping is a vital technology in resource-limited agricultural systems with low inputs. Peanut/maize intercropping enhances iron (Fe) nutrition in calcareous soil. Proteomic studies of the differences in peanut leaves, maize leaves and maize roots between intercropping and monocropping systems indicated that peanut/maize intercropping not only improves Fe availability in the rhizosphere but also influences the levels of proteins related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Moreover, intercropping may enhance stress resistance in the peanut plant (Xiong et al. 2013b). Although the mechanism and molecular ecological significance of peanut/maize intercropping have been investigated, little is known about the genes and/or gene products in peanut and maize roots that mediate the benefits of intercropping. In the present study, we investigated the transcriptomes of maize roots grown in intercropping and monocropping systems by microarray analysis. The results enabled exploration differentially expressed genes in intercropped maize.

Expression profiling and functional analysis of Populus WRKY23 reveals a regulatory role in defense.
Specimen part
View SamplesTo investigate the function of poplar WRKY23, we generated PtWRKY23-overexpressing and -underexpressing (RNAi) plants. Transgenic plants were inoculated with Melampsora rust or mock-inoculated for assessment of rust-resistance and for gene expression profiling using the poplar Affymetrix GeneChip to study the consequences of PtWRKY23 overexpression and underexpression. Transcriptome analysis of PtWRKY23 overexpressors revealed a significant overlap with the Melampsora-infection response. Transcriptome analysis also indicated that PtWRKY23 affects redox homeostasis and cell wall-related metabolism.

View SamplesThe placenta has shown morphological and functional adaption in Meishan and Yorkshire pig breeds during late gestation. While the vast difference of uterine capacity and conceptus genotype between Western and Chinese pig breeds affects the pattern of placental development. Whether the placenta within Chinese pig breed also has similar adaptive changes is still unknown. So, we measured the weight and area of 80 Chinese indigenous Diannan small-ear pig placentas and further selected 6 placentas from extremely high and low litter size groups (HL and LL) for deep RNA-sequencing to detect the molecular basis relate to the observed placental phenotype difference.
