Project description:To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the rice plant-mediated interaction between brown planthopper (BPH) and striped stem borer (SSB), gene expression changes in rice plant response to infestation by SSB, BPH or both and control were analyzed by RNA-seq.
Project description:Infestation with white-backed planthopper (WBPH) to rice caused induced resistance to rice pathogens but brown planthopper (BPH) infestation induce weaker resistance to rice pathogens. We compared changes in gene expression in rice plants infested with WBPH and BPH to gain some insight into the WBPH-induced resistance to rice pathogens. An analysis, using microarrays, of gene expression in rice plants infested with these planthoppers revealed that WBPH infestation caused high induction of many defense-related genes including pathogenesis-related (PR) genes than BPH infestation. Furthermore, hydroperoxide lyase 2 (OsHPL2) which is an enzyme to produce C6 volatiles was induced by WBPH infestation, but not by BPH infestation. Keywords: response to herbivory; induced resistance
Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze potential brown planthopper (BPH) resistant genes in Rathu Heenati (RHT) by Affymetrix whole rice genome array,BPH susceptible and resistant rice varieties of TN1(Taichung Native 1)as control. All the resistant related genes derived from RHT will be analyzed according to the SSR markers interval flanked on the chromosome 3, 4, 6 and 10. It will be benefit to the gene clone and marker assistant breeding for Bph3 gene in the near future. We used microarrays to detail the global differential gene expression before and after brown planthopper attack in two different varieties, and identified distinct classes of high enriched genes induced by BPH or constituent in RHT
Project description:Nilaparvata lugens, the brown planthopper (BPH) sucks the rice phloem sap containing high sucrose to obtain carbon source. The comparative gene expression analyses were perfomed during feeding against starvation in order to determine sugar transporter and other feeding related gene expression.

Stems of the rice plant infected by BPH were collected at 0h (T0), 8h (T8), 24h (T24) after BPH attack, total RNA were extracted for the microarray hybirdlization.
Project description:Here, we reported the quantitative analysis of brown planthopper (BPH) interactions with rice stem tissue by iTRAQ proteomic techonology.The results obtained from this work not only aimed to provide a new clues that will facilitate better understanding of complex molecular and cellular events in BPH infestation, but also explored the regulatory roles of HSP20 for breeding BPH resistant rice.
Project description:The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) is the most destructive pest of rice and causes serious economic damage in Asia. Understanding the composition of Nilaparvata lugens protein will help pest control. In this study, shotgun MS/MS analysis was performed.

Project description:Nilaparvata lugens, the brown planthopper (BPH) sucks the rice phloem sap containing high sucrose to obtain carbon source. The comparative gene expression analyses were perfomed during feeding against starvation in order to determine sugar transporter and other feeding related gene expression. Young BPH females that feed rice seedlings or feed-deprived (water-supplied) for 24 hours were prepared in triplicate. Gene expression was compared in these two groups: feeding and feed-deprived.
Project description:The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) is the most destructive pest of rice and causes serious economic damage in Asia. Understanding the composition of Nilaparvata lugens cuticle protein will help pest control. In this study, Nilaparvata lugens cuticle was disserted, and underwent shotgun MS/MS analysis.
