Project description:To study genes specially expressed in root tip, leaf tip, shoot tip, root (without root tip) and leaf (without leaf tip) of Ceratopteris richardii, we carried out an RNA-seq to analyze gene expression levels from these five tissues.
Project description:Rice leaves consist of three distinct regions along a proximal-distal axis, namely, the leaf blade, sheath, and blade-sheath boundary region. Each region has a unique morphology and function, however,but the genetic programs underlying the development of each region are poorly understood. To capture the entire picture of rice leaf development and to discover genes with unique functions in rice and grasses, it is crucial to explore genome-wide transcriptional profiles during the development of the three regions. In this study, we performed microarray analysis to profile the spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression in the rice leaf using dissected parts of leaves sampled in broad developmental stages.
