Project description:With the availability of a high quality draft rice genome sequence, large mutant collections, and gene expression oligo arrays for rice, we are now well positioned to dissect rice defense pathways. To do this, we performed global expression analyses to identify genes that are differentially expressed in 10 mutant lines (i.e., Xa21, NH1ox, NRR1ox, GR978, spl11, spl17, NBS2-PI9ox, MPK5ox, OsCoi1ox, and OsNahG1ox), exhibiting altered defense responses. As controls, we used wild typle varieties same with these mutants. Keywords: disease response

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:To understand the dynamics and global gene reprogramming in the early response to mechanical wounding in rice, the transcriptional response to mechanical injury was analyzed. A time-course experiment revealed the highly dynamic nature of the wound response in rice. Mechanical wounding triggered extensive gene expression reprogramming in the locally wounded leaf, affecting various physiological processes, including defense mechanisms and potentially tissue repair and regeneration. The rice response to mechanical wounding displayed both differences and similarities compared to the response to jasmonate treatment. These results highlight the importance of early JA signaling in response to mechanical stress in rice. This analysis provides an overview of the global transcriptional response to mechanical stress in rice, offering valuable insights for future studies on rice's response to injury, insect attack, and abiotic stresses.
Project description:Transcription factor encoded by OsbZIP39 gene is regulator of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response. The truncated form of OsbZIP39 without the transmembrane domain (OsbZIP39deltaC) is an active form. To identify the potential downstream genes regulated by OsbZIP39, we performed the rice 44k oligo microarray analysis.
Project description:Cross-kingdom molecular exchange between hosts and interacting microbes is essential for the survival of both plants and their pathogens. Recent studies showed plants transfer their small RNAs (sRNAs) and massager RNAs (mRNAs) into fungal pathogens to suppress infection. However, whether and how plants send defense proteins into pathogen cells remains unknown. Here, we show that rice plants send defense proteins into the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani via extracellular vesicles (EVs). These vesicles enrich host defense proteins and are taken up by the fungal cells. Reducing EV-mediated host protein transfer leads to increased disease susceptibility. Thus, plants send defense proteins via EVs into fungal pathogens to combat infection, providing a mechanism of protein exchange between plants and pathogens that helps reduce crop disease.

Biological replicates: 2-4 control, independently grown and harvested. Technical replicates: 1-2 control. One replicate per array.
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:Transcription factor encoded by OsbZIP39 gene is regulator of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response. The truncated form of OsbZIP39 without the transmembrane domain (OsbZIP39deltaC) is an active form. To identify the potential downstream genes regulated by OsbZIP39, we performed the rice 44k oligo microarray analysis. Total RNA was extracted from 7-day-old rice shoots of the wild type control and the OsbZIP39deltaC overexpression line grown on the MS medium, and subjected to 44k oligo-DNA microarray with 4 biological replicates.
