Project description:Overexpression of MADS29 results in severely dwarfed phenotype, resulting from a shift in auxin-cytokinin ratio in favor of cytokinins. To see the extent of change in gene expression in the leaves of the transgenic plants, whole genome transcript analysis was carried out using microarray.

To see the extent of change in gene expression in the leaves of the transgenic plants, whole genome transcript analysis was carried out using microarray. Three biological replicates of MADS29 OX (overexpression) lines and Wild Type PB1 (control) plants were used for microarray study
Project description:Here, we present OryzaPG-DB, a rice proteome database based on shotgun proteogenomics, which incorporates the genomic features of experimental shotgun proteomics data. This version of the database was created from the results of 27 nanoLC-MS/MS runs on a hybrid ion trap-orbitrap mass spectrometer, which offers high accuracy for analyzing tryptic digests from undifferentiated cultured rice cells. Peptides were identified by searching the product ion spectra against the protein, cDNA, transcript and genome databases from Michigan State University, and were mapped to the rice genome. Approximately 3200 genes were covered by these peptides and 40 of them contained novel genomic features. Users can search, download or navigate the database per chromosome, gene, protein, cDNA or transcript and download the updated annotations in standard GFF3 format, with visualization in PNG format. In addition, the database scheme of OryzaPG was designed to be generic and can be reused to host similar proteogenomic information for other species. OryzaPG is the first proteogenomics-based database of the rice proteome, providing peptide-based expression profiles, together with the corresponding genomic origin, including the annotation of novelty for each peptide.
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.
Project description:In order to shed light on the DNA methylation pathway mediating Pi starvation-induced changes in DNA methylation, the phosphate starvation experiment was repeated using an RNAi line that knocks DCL3a, a key factor involved in the canonical RdDM pathway.
