Project description:The experiment tested organ-specific responses of rice (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica) to cold stress with a special focus on phytohormonal regulation. Cold stress (5°C, 24 h) was applies on the whole plants, leaves or roots. The results showed distinct responses when cold stress was applied on leaves, relating to photosynthesis and sugar synthesis as well as specific changes in phytohormones. On the other hand, stress applied to roots was more similar to the stress on the whole plant indicating roots to be more important in cold stress responses. Acclimation by mild temperature (15°C, 12 h) highlighted changes which are connected even with lower temperature exposure or which are characteristic for untreated organs. Recovery (3 d) indicated ability of plants to restore growth which correlated between individual phytohormones and plant growth. The article connect transcriptome, hormonome, proteome and sugar analyses of rice cold-stress responses.
Project description:Whole genome arrays have been used to analyze the transcriptomic response to vanadium stress in rice root. Identify genes and pathways that would respond to vanadium stress
Project description:In this study, we used RNA-Seq to understand the mechanisms of Cd toxicity, cellular detoxification and protection pathways in response to Cd in rice roots. To gain additional insight into the rice transcriptomic response to environmental Cd stress, 15-day-old rice seedlings were treated with 10 or 100 μM solutions of Cd2+, or without Cd (control), for 24 h, at which point root samples were harvested and labeled as Cd+, Cd++, and control, respectively. These samples were used for 101 bp paired-end (PE) deep sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

Project description:Using the HiSeqTM 2000 sequencing platform, the anther transcriptome of photo thermo sensitive genic male sterile lines (PTGMS) rice Y58S and P64S (Peiâai 64S) were analyzed at the fertility sensitive stage under cold stress.These datas would be most beneficial for further studies investigating the molecular mechanisms of rice responses to cold stress.
Project description:Chilling stress is a major abiotic stress that affects rice growth and development. Rice seedlings are quite sensitive to chilling stress and this harms global rice production. Comprehensive studies of the molecular mechanisms for response to low temperature are of fundamental importance to chilling tolerance improvement. The number of identified cold regulated genes (CORs) in rice is still very small. Circadian clock is an endogenous timer that enables plants to cope with forever changing surroundings including light–dark cycles imposed by the rotation of the planet. Previous studies have demonstrated that the circadian clock regulates stress tolerances in plants show circadian clock regulation of plant stress tolerances. However, little is known about coordination of the circadian clock in rice chilling tolerance. In this study, we investigated rice responses to chilling stress under conditions with natural light-dark cycles. We demonstrated that chilling stress occurring at nighttime significantly decreased chlorophyll content and photosynthesis efficiency in comparison with that occurring at daytime. Transcriptome analysis characterized novel CORs in indica rice, and suggested that circadian clock obviously interferes with cold effects on key genes in chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis pathway and photosynthesis-antenna proteins. Expression profiling revealed that chilling stress during different Zeitberger times (ZTs) at nighttime repressed the expression of those genes involved Chl biosynthesis and photosynthesis, whereas stress during ZTs at daytime increases their expression dramatically. Moreover, marker genes OsDREBs for chilling tolerance were regulated differentially by the chilling stress occurring at different ZTs. The phase and amplitude of oscillation curves of core clock component genes such as OsLHY and OsPRR1 are regulated by chilling stress, suggesting the role of chilling stress as an input signal to the rice circadian clock. Our work revealed impacts of circadian clock on chilling responses in rice, and proved that the effects on the fitness costs are varying with the time in a day when the chilling stress occurs.

Project description:Here, we present OryzaPG-DB, a rice proteome database based on shotgun proteogenomics, which incorporates the genomic features of experimental shotgun proteomics data. This version of the database was created from the results of 27 nanoLC-MS/MS runs on a hybrid ion trap-orbitrap mass spectrometer, which offers high accuracy for analyzing tryptic digests from undifferentiated cultured rice cells. Peptides were identified by searching the product ion spectra against the protein, cDNA, transcript and genome databases from Michigan State University, and were mapped to the rice genome. Approximately 3200 genes were covered by these peptides and 40 of them contained novel genomic features. Users can search, download or navigate the database per chromosome, gene, protein, cDNA or transcript and download the updated annotations in standard GFF3 format, with visualization in PNG format. In addition, the database scheme of OryzaPG was designed to be generic and can be reused to host similar proteogenomic information for other species. OryzaPG is the first proteogenomics-based database of the rice proteome, providing peptide-based expression profiles, together with the corresponding genomic origin, including the annotation of novelty for each peptide.
