Project description:Rice tungro disease is caused by the interaction between Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV) and Rice tungro bacilliform virus. Infection with RTSV alone does not result in any distinctive symptoms in Taichung Native 1 (TN1) that is one of RTSV susceptive indica rice cultivar. To elucidate the basis of asymptomatic response of rice to RTSV at the gene expression level, global gene response in RTSV-infected TN1 was detected by custom microarray. Keywords: time course, virus infection, disease response
Project description:This research reports genome-wide measurements of genetic and epigenetic patterns of inheritance through an integrative analysis of BS-seq, RNA-seq, and siRNA-seq data in two inbred parents of the Nipponbare (NPB) and Indica (93-11) variety of rice and their hybrid offspring. We generated integrative maps of whole genome cytosine methylation profiles (BS-Seq), transcriptional profiles (RNA-seq), and small RNA profiles (sRNA-seq) to characterize two rice subspecies, Oryza sativa spp japonica (Nipponbare) and Oryza sativa spp indica (93-11) and their two reciprocal hybrid offspring using Illumina's sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) platform .

Keywords: time course, virus infection, disease response Comparison between RTSV and mock infected rice. Biological replicates: 3 control (mock), 3 RTSV-infected at each time point, independently grown and harvested at 6 to 15 days after inoculation (DAI). 1 samples prepared with whole plant 5 cm above ground and pooled from 5 plants grown under same conditons.

Project description:An indica rice cultivar FR13A, is widely grown as submergence tolerant variety and can withstand submergence up to two weeks. The tolerance is governed by a major QTL on chromosome 9 and represented as sub1. Recently the gene for sub1 has been mapped and cloned. However, the trait is governed by several QTLs and not by a single gene. To understand the mechanism of submergence tolerance we selected, two indica rice genotypes namely, I) FR13A, a tolerant indica variety and ii) IR24, a susceptible genotype for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under constitutive and submerged conditions at seedling stage. Keywords: Mechanism of submergence tolerance
Project description:The publicly available genome sequence information of two rice strains, japonica cultivar Nipponbare and indica cultivar 93-11, opens a great opportunity for investigation of performances DNA genotyping by high-density oligonucleotide arrays. Here, we compare single feature polymorphism (SFP) detection performances between whole genome hybridization and transcript hybridization using Affymetrix Rice Expression Array and the two rice cultivars.
Project description:Towards understanding gene expression variation among related rice lineages on a genome-wide scale, we sought to assess global gene expression in the heading-stage panicle using a whole genome oligonucleotide microarray designed to represent 36,926 annotated indica genes.
Project description:A submergence tolerant indica rice cultivar FR13A, was also reported to withstand salt stress and proven in our experiments. The mechanism of tolerance is yet to be studied by forward genetics approach. However, it is known that salt stress tolerance is governed by several QTLs and not by a single gene. To understand the mechanism of such a complex mechanism of salt tolerance we selected, two indica rice genotypes namely, I) FR13A, a tolerant indica variety and ii) IR24, a susceptible genotype for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under constitutive and salt stress conditions at seedling stage.

Project description:<p>Pigmented rice (<em>Oryza sativa L.</em>) is a rich source of nutrients, but pigmented lines typically have long life cycles and limited productivity. Here we generated genome assemblies of 5 pigmented rice varieties and evaluated the genetic variation among 51 pigmented rice varieties by resequencing an additional 46 varieties. Phylogenetic analyses divided the pigmented varieties into four varietal groups: Geng-japonica, Xian-indica, circum-Aus and circum-Basmati. Metabolomics and ionomics profiling revealed that black rice varieties are rich in aromatic secondary metabolites. We established a regeneration and transformation system and used CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out three flowering time repressors (Hd2, Hd4 and Hd5) in the black Indonesian rice Cempo Ireng, resulting in an early maturing variety with shorter stature. Our study thus provides a multi-omics resource for understanding and improving Asian pigmented rice.</p>
