Project description:Phosphate starvation/sufficient rice seedling, root or shoot Pi-starvation or Pi-sufficient stresses responsible rice genes, including previously unannotated genes were identified by Illumina mRNA-seq technology. 53 million reads from Pi-starvation or Pi-sufficient root or shoot tissues were uniquely mapped to the rice genome, and these included 40574 RAP3 transcripts in root and 39748 RAP3 transcripts in shoot. We compared our mRNA-seq expression data with that from Rice 44K oligomicroarray, and about 95.5% (root) and 95.4% (shoot) transcripts supported by the array were confirmed expression both by the array and by mRNA-seq, Moreover, 11888 (root) and 11098 (shoot) RAP genes which were not supported by array, were evidenced expression with mRNA-seq. Furthermore, we discovered 8590 (root) and 8193 (shoot) previously unannotated transcripts upon Pi-starvation and/or Pi-sufficient.
Project description:To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of Gif1 action in the control of grain filling and yield improvement, we performed transcriptional profiling of wild type Zhonghua11 and mutant gif1 plants in early filling stage on a global scale using the Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array Keywords: Filling stage
Project description:Rice stem at early stage growth: Control vs.Chromosome segment substitution lines (SLs) from a cross the Koshihikari (japonica) and Habataki (indica)
Project description:We analyzed the transcriptome profiles for rice grain from heat-tolerant and -sensitive lines in response to high night temperatures at the early milky stage using the Illumina Sequencing method. On the 8th day after the labeled florets flowered, plants with the same label were transferred to chambers and maintained at a temperature of 38.0â±â0.5°C (treatment) or 25.0â±â0.5°C (control) for the dark period (10 h), and 26.0â±â0.5°C (both treatment and control) for the light period (14 h). Three biological replicates of the temperature treatments were grown under the same conditions. After 48 h of treatment, samples containing 45 grains with labels from the same region (middle to bottom part) of labelled ears were harvested, packed in aluminum foil, and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen until further use. A total of 12 rice grain samples were harvested, i.e., controls (TC1, TC2 and TC3) and treatments (TT1, TT2 and TT3) of the three biological replicates of the heat-tolerant line, and controls (SC1, SC2 and SC3) and treatments (ST1, ST2 and ST3) of the three biological replicates of the heat-sensitive line.
