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:We report the application of small RNA sequencing (Illumina) technology for the identification of miRNA from root and leaf tissues of pokkali rice cultivar grown under normal and salt stress conditions. We used this data to predict and identify known and novel miRNAs.
Project description:Analysis of root gene expression of salt-tolerant genotypes FL478, Pokkali and IR63731, and salt-sensitive genotype IR29 under control and salinity-stressed conditions during vegetative growth. Results provide insight into the genetic basis of salt tolerance in indica rice. Keywords: stress response
Project description:A submergence tolerant indica rice cultivar FR13A, was also reported to withstand salt stress and proven in our experiments. The mechanism of tolerance is yet to be studied by forward genetics approach. However, it is known that salt stress tolerance is governed by several QTLs and not by a single gene. To understand the mechanism of such a complex mechanism of salt tolerance we selected, two indica rice genotypes namely, I) FR13A, a tolerant indica variety and ii) IR24, a susceptible genotype for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under constitutive and salt stress conditions at seedling stage. Keywords: Mechanism of salt tolerance
Project description:Rice seedlings at 3-leaf stage were used for expression analysis in control and salt stressed (incloudling salt treatment for 3, 24hrs and recovery from cold stress for 24hrs) samples. Samples of shoots and roots from biological replicates of both genotypes were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Phalanx Rice OneArrayï¼ v1. Control and treated biological replicates of salt-tolerant cultivar TNG67 (japonica) and salt-sensitive cultivar TCN1 (indica) were analyzed

Experiment Overall Design: We used Agilent rice gene chips (G4138A) to investigate the transcript level changes in rice plant tissues during salt stress treatment. We used two contrasting rice genotypes (FR13A tolerant and IR24 susceptible) differing in salt stress response. Plants were grown in growth chambers and treated with 150 mM salt concentration at 14th DAS. Sampling was done in both constitutive and treated plants at 3 time points. Two replications of microarray experiments were carried out by hybridizing the RNA from tolerant samples against the susceptible lines on the same slide.
Project description:Sequence reads from Pokkali, a salt-sensitive variety, were aligned to the reference Japonica genome to the identify single nucleotide polymorphisms
