Project description:Maize floury3 (fl3) is a classic semi-dominant mutant that shows severe defects in the endosperm but appears normal in the plant.The goals of this study are to compare WT to fl3 transcriptomes in 10DAP(day after pollination) endosperm by Next Generation Sequencing.
Project description:The objective of the current study is to unravel the gene regulatory networks controlled by the nkd genes during maize endosperm developent. We compared wild type (B73) vs. nkd mutant (introgressed into B73 background) transcriptomes in aleurone vs. starchy endosperm cell types captured by laser capture microdissection technology.

We compared wild type (B73) vs. nkd mutant (introgressed into B73 background) transcriptomes in aleurone vs. starchy endosperm cell types captured by laser capture microdissection technology. We performed RNA seq analysis of mid-mature (15DAP) endosperm in two cell types [aleurone (A) and starchy endosperm (S)] of wild type B73 (B) and nkd mutant (N) kernels with three independent biological replicates.
Project description:4plex_maize_2015_02 - albumen vitreux vs albumen farineux - Delineation of the metabolic pathways involved in maize endosperm vitreousness. - Comparison of vitreous (outer) and floury (inner) endosperm from flint and dent maize inbred lines harvested at 15 and 20 day after pollination.
