Gene Expression in the Developing Seed of Wild and Domesticated Rice.

ABSTRACT: The composition and nutritional properties of rice are the product of the expression of genes in the developing seed. RNA-Seq was used to investigate the level of gene expression at different stages of seed development in domesticated rice (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica var. Nipponbare) and two Australian wild taxa from the primary gene pool of rice (Oryza meridionalis and Oryza rufipogon type taxa). Transcriptome profiling of all coding sequences in the genome revealed that genes were significantly differentially expressed at different stages of seed development in both wild and domesticated rice. Differentially expressed genes were associated with metabolism, transcriptional regulation, nucleic acid processing, and signal transduction with the highest number of b
