Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nowadays, high saline environment become very serious problem for the agriculture all over the world. To elucidate the slat tolerance mechanisms that halophyte possess originally is very important for the plant science field. To gain this knowledge, we investigated gene expression profile in the Ice plant. Ice plant is known as the halophyte and this plant relatively easy to handle in the lab. We treated ice plant with various concentration of the salt and had done the RNAseq analysis. Then we performed comparison analysis between our data sets and Arabidopsis expression data sets. As the result of our analysis, we found that ice plant showed the unique gene expression under the high salt condition. By using our data sets, we will find new gene regulatory network that involves in salt tolerances.
