Project name: Solanum lycopersicum

Description: To extend our previous knowledge from our gene expression studies on Flower pedicel Abscission zone using Affymetrix microarray chip we have employed whole transcriptome analysis by NGS as a discovery platform to identify and add the transcripts to pre-existing database. We designed the Customized AZ Microarray chip with the transcripts obtained from NGS (includes novel transcripts), pre existing Agilent probes, and some additional transcripts from previous databases. We developed transgenic lines by antisense silencing the genes, which are expressed in the AZ to study the functional role in abscission process. In the current stuty we silenced KD gene by antisense technology under abscisson promoter (TAPG::antsisense KD). The flower pedicel AZ tissue tissue was sampled at six time points (0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 h), following flower removal, and analyzed for their gene expression profiles using the customized AZ microarray.Overall design: The flower pedicel AZ tissue tissue was sampled at six time points (0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 h), following flower removal, and analyzed for their gene expression profiles using the customized AZ microarray.
