Project description:Whole genome transcriptional responses is profiled in the 0 & 120 mM NaCl stressed whole seedlings of four indica (Pokkali, PSBRc50, IR 58, BRRI dhan 29), two Japonica (Banikat, Nipponbare) and two wild (O. latifolia, O. Rufipogon) accessions of rice (that showed varied level of tolerance to salt stresses) to identify the salinity induced transcripts. Stress was imposed on 14 day old seedlings and total RNA from the whole seedlings was collected after 48 h of stressed period (i.e., from 16 day old seedlings). These data sets were used for two different analyses. Firstly, the gene expression responses of eight rice genotypes was interrogated by the weighted continuous morpho-physiological trait responses (on a scale of 0 to 1) using a modified version of the â??Significance Analysis of Microarraysâ?? (SAM) to identify the genes whose expression changes significantly and which is relative to the changes in morpho-physiological traits over these rice genotypes. Secondly, the differentially expressed significant salinity induced genes were also identified in the tolerant and in the susceptible genotypes using Gene-spring software. The genes that enriched the important biological processes and molecular functions (as identified by Gene Ontology: Singular enrichment analysis) are discussed in a way to explain the roles of these genes in overall stress adaptation mechanism. Fourteen day old whole seedlings of 8 rice genotypes were treated with 0 & 120 mM NaCl stress for 48 hours each with three replications and the gene expressions were measured using Agilent Rice Gene Expression 4x44K Microarray.
Project description:Rice is sensitive to chilling stress, especially at the seedling stage. To elucidate the molecular genetic mechanisms of chilling tolerance in rice, comprehensive gene expressions of two rice genotypes (chilling-tolerant LTH and chilling-sensitive IR29) with contrasting responses to chilling stress were comparatively analyzed. Results revealed distinct global transcription reprogramming between the two rice genotypes under time-series chilling stress and subsequent recovery conditions. A set of genes with higher basal expression were identified in LTH, indicating their possible role in intrinsic tolerance to chilling stress. Under chilling stress, the major effect on gene expression was up-regulation in LTH and strong repression in IR29. Early responses to chilling stress in both genotypes featured commonly up-regulated genes related to transcription regulation and signal transduction, while functional categories for late phase chilling regulated genes were diverse with a wide range of functional adaptations to continuous stress. Following the cessation of chilling treatments, there was quick and efficient reversion of gene expression in LTH, while IR29 displayed considerably slower recovering capacity at the transcriptional level. In addition, the detection of differentially-regulated TF genes and enriched cis-elements demonstrated that multiple regulatory pathways, including CBF and MYBS3 regulons, were involved in chilling stress tolerance. In present study, comprehensive gene expression using an Affymetrix rice genome array revealed a diverse global transcription reprogramming between two rice genotypes under chilling stress and subsequent recovery conditions. The dominant change in gene expression at low temperature was up-regulation in the chilling-tolerant genotype and down-regulation in the chilling-sensitive genotype. Early responses to chilling stress common to both genotypes featured up-regulated genes related to transcription regulation and signal transduction, while functional categories of LR-chilling regulated genes were clearly diverse with a wide range of functional adaptations. At the end of the chilling treatments, there was quick and efficient reversion of gene expression in LTH, while IR29 displayed considerably slower recovery capacity at the transcriptional level. Finally, analysis of differentially-regulated TF genes and enriched cis-elements demonstrated that multiple regulatory pathways, including CBF and MYBS3 regulons, are involved in chilling stress tolerance. In this study, parallel transcriptomic analysis in two rice genotypes with contrasting chilling-tolerant phenotypes was performed to identify and characterize novel genes involved in chilling stress tolerance in rice.

Project description:Rice reproductive development is highly sensitive to high temperature stress. In rice flowering occurs over a period of at least 5 days. Heat stress alters the global gene expression dynamics in panicle especially during pollen development, anthesis and grain filling. Some of the rice genotypes like Nagina 22 show better spikelet fertility and grain filling compared to high yielding and popular rice cultivars like IR 64. We carried out microarray analysis of 8 days heat stressed panicles of Nagina22, heat and drought tolerant aus rice cultivar and IR64, a heat susceptible indica genotype along with unstressed samples of Nagina22 and IR64 so as to understand the transcriptome dynamics in these two genotypes under heat stress and to identify the genes important for governing heat stress tolerance in rice.
Project description:The goals of this study were to compare the transcriptome of two rice genotypes under salt stress by RNA-Seq. We performed differential gene expression analysis by comparing samples of same genotypes in control and stress conditions and different genotypes in the same condition.

Project description:An ERF transcription factor, Submergence-1A (Sub1A), dramatically enhances the tolerance to prolonged submergence in rice. For instance, rice accessions which lack Sub1A (e.g. M202) die within 7-10 d of complete submergence. By contrast, genotypes which posses Sub1A (e.g. M202(Sub1)) can endure submergence stress for 14 d. In this study, the two near isogenic lines with and without Sub1A were subjected to microarray analysis using Affymetrix Gene Chip technology. This analysis provided beneficial information to elucidate general response to submergence stress and to estimate Sub1A-dependent defense response to the stress at mRNA accumulation level.
Project description:Rice NSF45K microarray experiment to dissect submergence tolerance response in submergence tolerant rice plant, M202(Sub1): We previously characterized the rice (Oryza sativa L.) Sub1 locus encoding three Ethylene Responsive Factor (ERF) transcriptional regulators. Genotypes carrying the Sub1A-1 allele are tolerant of prolonged submergence. To elucidate the mechanism of Sub1A-1 mediated tolerance, we performed transcriptome analyses comparing the temporal submergence response of Sub1A-1 containing tolerant M202(Sub1) with the intolerant isoline M202 lacking this gene at three duration of submergence (0d, 1d, and 6d) with two biological replicates and one or two dye-swaps. We identified 898 genes displaying Sub1A-1-dependent regulation. Keywords: Abiotic stress tolerance response
