Project description:Oryza sativa Indica group Pokkali (salt sensitive) seedlings were subjected to salt stress or control conditions and sampled at five time points over the course of 4 hours. RNA samples extracted were assayed using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.
Project description:Oryza sativa Indica group IR29 (salt sensitive) seedlings were subjected to salt stress or control conditions and sampled at five time points over the course of 24 hours. RNA samples extracted were assayed using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.
Project description:To evaluate the roles of gene regulation in Oryza sativa leaf, dynamic profiles of transcriptome were investigated in Oryza sativa L. spp. indica with different treatments, the aerial tissues of one-month-old plants from four different areas (groups 1–4) were treated with 0, 40 mL of 25% azoxystrobin, 0.01 g of VdAL, or 40 mL of 25% azoxystrobin plus 0.01 g VdAL, respectively.
Project description:Rice is the most salt sensitive cereal crop and its cultivation is particularly threatened by salt stress. This study reports the development of salt tolerant introgressed lines (ILs) derived from crosses between the salt tolerant indica rice variety FL478, which harbors the Saltol QTL, and the salt-sensitive japonica elite cultivar PL12. Although the introgression of the Saltol QTL has been widely used to improve salinity tolerance, the molecular basis underlying the salinity tolerance conferred by Saltol remains poorly understood. Equally, the impact of introgressions from a Saltol donor parent on the global transcriptome of ILs is largely unknown. Here, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and Kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) genotyping, in combination with step-wise phenotypic selection in hydroponic culture, were used for the identification of salt-tolerant ILs. Transcriptome-based genotyping allowed the fine mapping of indica genetic introgressions in the best performing IL line (IL22). A total of 1,595 genes were identified in indica regions in IL22, which mainly located in large introgressions at Chromosomes 1 and 3. In addition to OsHKT1;5, an important number of genes potentially contributing to salt stress tolerance were identified in indica segments of IL22. Comparative transcript profiling also revealed important transcriptional reprograming in IL22 plants both under non-stress and salt-stress conditions, indicating an impact on the transcriptome of the japonica background by the indica introgressed genes and vice versa. Interactions among indica and japonica genes would provide novel regulatory networks contributing to salt stress tolerance in introgression rice lines.
Project description:Studies have shown that Rice Salt Sensitive 1 (RSS1) is involved in stress response in rice plants. Primers were developed for amplification via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of a region that contained a simple sequence repeat (SSR) in RSS1. PCR was performed on 6 different varieties of Oryza sativa. PCR product was sequenced on an ABI 3730 capillary sequence machine. Sequence data was aligned to observe differences in SSR length between each rice variety.
Project description:Expression Data of Rice Crown and Growing Point Tissue Under Salt Stress imposed during the Panicle Initiation Stage Experiment Overall Design: Rice Genotypes a sensitive japonica, m103, tolerant japonica agami, sensitive indica ir29 and tolerant indica ir63731 were used for expression anlaysis using the tissue from crown and growing point under control and salt stressed conditions at the sensitive early reproductive stage (panicel initiation).
