Project description:Analysis of transgenic rice overexpressing OsWRKY28, a WRKY type transcription factor. Results provide insight into the role of OsWRKY28 in the defense signaling against rice blast fungus. Expression profiling in wild-type and OsWRKY28 overexpressing rice leaves infected with or without Magnaporthe Oryzae was analyzed using one-color method with three biological replicates.
Project description:Analysis of transgenic rice plants overexpressing the rice WRKY transcription factor OsWRKY53 or its phospho-mimicking mutant (OsWRKY53SD). Results provide insight into the roles of OsWRKY53 and its phosphorylation in the basal defense signaling against the rice blast fungus. Expression profiling in wild-type, OsWRKY53- or its phospho-mimicking mutant-overexpressing rice leaves infected with or without Magnaporthe Oryzae was analyzed using one-color method with four biological replicates.
Project description:5 leaves old rice plantlets were infected with Magnaporthe grisea spores and zero, two hours and twenty four houres after infection samples were collected
Project description:Magnaporthe oryzae is the causative agent of the rice blast, the most relevant rice disease worldwide. To date expression analysis on rice infected with Magnaporthe oryzae have been carried out only with the strains FR13 (leaf) and Guy 11 (root). However different strains of Magnaporthe are present in the environment leading to different rice responses at molecular level. To gain more insight on the unknown molecular mechanisms activated by different Magnaporthe strains during rice defense, a global expression analysis was performed by using the GeneChip® Rice Genome Array. To identify rice genes differentially regulated upon infection by Magnaporthe isolates, inoculation with different strains were performed and samples were collected 24 hours post infection. RNA were obtained from leaf samples after inoculation of rice 2 week-old plantlets with the following strains: rice isolates Magnaporthe oryzae FR13 and CL367, non-adapted strain BR32, isolated from wheat, and Magnaporthe grisea BR29 isolated from crabgrass. Treated and control (mock) rice leaves (cv. Nipponbare) were collected 24 hours post inoculation. Three biological replicates for each interaction type and the corresponding mock were extracted and analysed independently with the GeneChip® Rice Genome Array.
Project description:To investigate the role of iron excess in rice immune responses to Magnaporthe oryzae infection. Gene expression profiling analysis were performed using data obtained from RNA-seq of rice plants grown in differential iron supply and challenged with Magnaporthe oryzae spores.

Project description:High-throughput sequencing of small RNAs from rice was used to identify distinct miRNAs that are responsive to elicitors from the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae. [Expression profiling by array] We used microarrays to determine the expression behaviour of target genes for elicitor-regulated miRNAs. [High throughput sequencing] High-throughput sequencing of rice small RNAs was performed in two different tissues, leaves and roots, and two different time point of elicitor treatment, 30' and 2h Amplicons were prepared by 5M-BM-4and 3M-BM-4adaptor ligation in which the 5'-adaptor contained a 'barcode' consisting of a 4-nucleotide identifier sequence for each sample. The libraries containing unique barcodes were combined and subjected to pyrosequencing (454 Life SciencesTM, Roche) [Expression profiling by array] Leaves from rice plants were harvested at two time points after the onset of treatment (30' and 2h) with elicitors of Magnaporthe oryzae 18.1 and used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Mock inoculations were performed with sterile water for control experiments. Three biological replicates were analyzed. Each sample represented a pool of approximately 150 rice plants. [High throughput sequencing] 8 samples examined: leaves and roots, treated or not with elicitors at two different time points, 30' and 2h (2x2x2)
Project description:In this study, we examine the complex rice-Magnaporthe oryzae pathosystem. Specifically, we use quantitative proteomics to compare the proteome, phosphoproteome, and acetylome of two rice genotypes that differ in resistance to M. oryzae.
Project description:Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and productivity. Due to soil fixation, however, phosphorus availability in soil is rarely sufficient to sustain high crop yields. Fertilizers are widely used to circumvent the limited bioavailability of phosphate (Pi) which led to a scenario of excessive soil P in agricultural soils. Whereas adaptive responses to Pi deficiency have been deeply studied, less is known about how plants adapt to Pi excess and how Pi excess might affect disease resistance. Here, we show that high Pi fertilization in rice plants, and subsequent Pi accumulation in leaves, enhances susceptibility to infection by Magnaporthe oryzae, the causal agent of the rice blast disease. Equally, MIR399f overexpression causes an increase in Pi content in rice leaves which results in enhanced susceptibility to M. oryzae. During pathogen infection, a weaker activation of defense-related genes occurs in rice plants accumulating Pi in leaves, a response that is in agreement with the phenotype of blast susceptibility observed in these plants. These data support that Pi, when in excess, compromises defense mechanisms in rice while demonstrating that miR399 functions as a negative regulator of rice immunity. The two signaling pathways, Pi signaling and defense signaling, must operate in a coordinated manner in controlling disease resistance. This information provides a basis to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in immunity in rice plants grown under a high Pi fertilization regime, an aspect that should be considered in management of the rice blast disease
