Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique helps...
Reporter Genes02:11

Reporter Genes

Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.
Commonly used reporter...

Background:

  • The phloem is crucial for transporting nutrients, hormones, and genetic materials like mRNA and small RNA.
  • Understanding phloem transport mechanisms is vital for coordinating plant development and physiology.
  • Recent transcript profiling studies offer new insights into specialized phloem functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the unique functions of plant phloem.
  • To discuss the potential roles of mRNAs and small RNAs in long-distance plant signaling.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent transcript profiling studies.
  • Analysis of existing research on phloem transport and signaling.

Main Results:

  • Phloem facilitates the transport of diverse molecules, including carbohydrates, amino acids, hormones, mRNAs, and small RNAs.
  • Evidence suggests these transported molecules play key roles in inter-organ communication.
  • Transcript profiling reveals specialized functions within the phloem.

Conclusions:

  • Phloem is a complex transport system with significant roles in plant communication.
  • mRNAs and small RNAs are likely key mediators of long-distance signaling in plants.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate phloem transport and signaling mechanisms.
