Identification of nuclear genes controlling chlorophyll synthesis in barley by RNA-seq.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Albinism in plants is characterized by lack of chlorophyll and results in photosynthesis impairment, abnormal plant development and premature death. These abnormalities are frequently encountered in interspecific crosses and tissue culture experiments. Analysis of albino mutant phenotypes with full or partial chlorophyll deficiency can shed light on genetic determinants and molecular mechanisms of albinism. Here we report analysis of RNA-seq transcription profiling of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) near-isogenic lines, one of which is a carrier of mutant allele of the Alm gene for albino lemma and pericarp phenotype (line i:BwAlm).

Results

1221 genome fragments have statistically significant changes in expression levels between lines i:BwAlm and Bowman, with 148 frag
