Project description:This experiment was designed to identify transcribed regions of both japonica and indica rice chromosome 10. A series of high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays that represent sense and antisense strands of the entire nonrepetitive sequence of the chromosome were used to measure transcriptional activities. A total of 750,282 and 838,816 36mer oligonucleotide probes, positioned every 46 nt on average, were designed to interrogating the japonica and the indica chromosome, respectively. The probes were synthesized via maskless photolithography at a feature density of approximately 389,000 probes per slide. The arrays were hybridized with fluorescence-labeled cDNA reverse-transcribed from equal amounts of four selected poly(A)+ RNA populations, namely, seedling roots, seedling shoots, panicles, and suspension cultured cells of the respective rice subspecies.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the different genetic mechanisms between Indica and Japonica rice under cadmium stress.
Project description:The lem mutant was discovered in a doubled haploid (DH) line derived from the F1 of Gui-630 (Indica)xTaiwanjing (Japonica) by anther culture. The lem mutant did not affect other traits but caused all other floral organs (including palea, lodicule, stamen and carpel) to homeotically transform into lemma or lemma-like structures and caused floral meristem to be indeterminate, thus resulting in the mutant floret consisting of whorls of lemma and lemma-like organs. To identify the global gene expression changes mediated by LEM, we used 57K Affymetrix rice whole genome array to investigate the differences of genome-wide transcriptome between the young panicles of mutant lem versus WT samples during flower development stage. Keywords: rice (Oryza sativa L.),wild-type and lemmata mutant We generate gene expression profiles of rice cultivar Gui-630 (indica)x Taiwanjing (japonica) and mutant lemmata by using 57K Affymetrix rice whole genome array.

Project description:Rice seedlings at 3-leaf stage were used for expression analysis in control and cold stressed (incloudling cold treatment for 3, 24hrs and recovery from cold stress for 24hrs) samples. Samples of shoots and roots from biological replicates of both genotypes were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Phalanx Rice OneArrayM-oM-<M- v1. Control and treated biological replicates of cold-tolerant cultivar TNG67 (japonica) and cold-sensitive cultivar TCN1 (indica) were analyzed

Project description:By performing QTL mapping using 82 backcross inbred lines (BILs) of the Koshihikari (japonica) and Habataki (indica) cultivars for the rice initial growth, we identified two QTLs, qEPD1 and qEPD2, responsible for modulating plant height and/or leaf sheath length. To narrow down the number of candidate genes of each QTL, we conducted transcriptional profiling using RNAs isolated from the vegetative stem of Koshihikari and its two substituted lines (SL) with the Habataki qEPD1 or qEPD2 allele.
Project description:Hybrids and allopolyploids typically exhibit radically altered gene expression patterns relative to their parents, a phenomenon termed âtranscriptomic shock.â To distinguish the effects of hybridization from polyploidization on coregulation of divergent alleles, we analyzed expression of parental copies (homoeologs) of 11,608 genes using RNA-seq-based transcriptome profiling in reciprocal hybrids and tetraploids constructed from subspecies japonica and indica of Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Project description:Rice in tropical and sub-tropical areas is often subjected to cold stress at the seedling stage resulting in poor growth and yield loss. In general, japonica rice has stronger cold tolerance (CT) than indica rice. However, several favorite alleles for CT exist in indica rice and can be used to enhance CT under japonica background. Genome-wide gene expression profiling is the efficient way to decipher the molecular genetic mechanism of CT enhancement and provide valuable information for the CT improvement in rice molecular breeding. In this study, the transcriptome of a CT introgressed line (IL) K354 and its recurrent parent C418 under cold stress were comparatively analyzed to explore the possible CT enhancement mechanism of K354.Totally 3184 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including 195 transcription factors were identified in both lines under cold stress, about half of them were commonly regulated, which were involved in the major cold responsive pathways including OsDREB1s regulon. The K354-specific cold-induced DEGs were mainly related to stimulus response, cellular cell wall organization, and microtubule-based movement process compared with commonly cold-induced DEGs by GO analysis. Moreover, 296 constitutive DEGs with significantly different transcription level between C418 and K354 were detected under both control and cold stress conditions. K354-specific cold-regulated and constitutive DEGs jointly account for the CT improvement of K354. Pathway analysis unraveled up-regulation of starch and sucrose metabolism in both genotypes and presumably weaker defense response to stress in K354 than C418 under cold stress. Candidate genes prediction based on previous putative CT genetic networks revealed genotype-dependent CT enhancement mechanism in CT IL K354 vs recurrent parent C418, including Sir2, OsFAD7, OsWAK112d, and PCD related genes, etc.We propose a hypothesis of the CT enhancement mechanism in rice based on the results in present study. Firstly, a number of cold-regulated genes are able to express constitutively at high level or absent under control condition for standing by the arrival of cold stress. Next, under cold stress slower perception of stress signal from the more cold-tolerant membrane can postpone the activation of defensive system which may have possible negative effects on rice growth. Then, PCD will be launched to sacrifice a few cells for maintaining the basal growth of most cells. Finally, the protective responses on multiple aspects of cold damage will be postponed because of delayed several cold-defensive pathways (i.e. OsDREB1C regulon). It might explain why the recovery capacity of K354 from cold stress to control condition is stronger than C418. The CT enhancement mechanism can be regarded as the possible way to improve CT of japonica rice using indica germplasm in rice breeding program.
