Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 6. Functional characterization of AtOPT3. A, hybridization of an 600-bp AtOPT3 cDNA probe, corresponding to the 3-terminal exon, to RNA extracted from Arabidopsis roots of plants grown in control conditions (Ctl), copper (-Cu), manganese (-Mn), zinc (-Zn), and iron (-Fe) deficiency. The ethidium bromide-stained RNA gel is shown for quantification. B, growth of ctr1 expressing AtOPT3 on YPG-Ura plates supplemented with 10 M CuSO4 compared with the mutant transformed with the vector alone. C, growth of smf1 expressing AtOPT3 on manganese-limited medium, with and without 1 mM EGTA compared with the growth of the mutant transformed with the vector alone.

Article Title: Long-Term Consumption of a Sugar-Sweetened Soft Drink in Combination with a Western-Type Diet Is Associated with Morphological and Molecular Changes of Taste Markers Independent of Body Weight Development in Mice

doi: 10.3390/nu14030594

Figure Lengend Snippet: Transcriptome analysis of 59 selected genes associated with oral chemosensation, displayed as a heatmap showing mean fold changes in gene expression of the SSB-fed diet groups in relation to the respective water-fed group (=1) in the form of a color code. The gene expression was analyzed using one customized cDNA microarray per group from pooled RNA samples of the CV from mice that received either a standard diet (chow, n = 10–11) or Western-type diet (WD, n = 7–8) with water (Water) or a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) as a drink for 24 weeks.

Article Snippet: The isolated RNA samples per mouse were reverse transcribed to cDNA using the LunaScript RT Supermix Kit (New England Biolabs GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany).
