Project description:The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes responsible for grain number per panicle between a pair of rice varieties (Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1) by combining QTL analysis with expression analysis. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the panicle primordia showed 2741 differentially expressed genes. The differentially expressed genes were shortened to 18 on the basis of their occurance in the QTL region (responsible for grain number regulation) detected in RIL population derived from Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1. RNA from the stage '0' panicle primordia of Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1 were analysed in two different biological replications (A and B) making total four samples

Project description:In order to functionally characterize OsRDR4, a member of γ-clade RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RDR) in rice, transgenics were raised for the overexpression (OE) and knock-down (KD) of OsRDR4 in the background of Oryza sativa indica cultivar, Pusa Basmati 1. The knockdown lines showed developmental defects in terms of delayed flowering, short tillers, poor seed setting, etc.
Project description:To evaluate the roles of gene regulation in Oryza sativa leaf, dynamic profiles of transcriptome were investigated in Oryza sativa L. spp. indica with different treatments, the aerial tissues of one-month-old plants from four different areas (groups 1–4) were treated with 0, 40 mL of 25% azoxystrobin, 0.01 g of VdAL, or 40 mL of 25% azoxystrobin plus 0.01 g VdAL, respectively.
