Project description:Microarray analysis of gene expression in rice lacking cytosolic glutamine synthetase 1 1 and 1 2 grown under the ammonium sufficient condition
Project description:Phosphate starvation/sufficient rice seedling, root or shoot Pi-starvation or Pi-sufficient stresses responsible rice genes, including previously unannotated genes were identified by Illumina mRNA-seq technology. 53 million reads from Pi-starvation or Pi-sufficient root or shoot tissues were uniquely mapped to the rice genome, and these included 40574 RAP3 transcripts in root and 39748 RAP3 transcripts in shoot. We compared our mRNA-seq expression data with that from Rice 44K oligomicroarray, and about 95.5% (root) and 95.4% (shoot) transcripts supported by the array were confirmed expression both by the array and by mRNA-seq, Moreover, 11888 (root) and 11098 (shoot) RAP genes which were not supported by array, were evidenced expression with mRNA-seq. Furthermore, we discovered 8590 (root) and 8193 (shoot) previously unannotated transcripts upon Pi-starvation and/or Pi-sufficient.
Project description:Goal of the study is to characterize distinct function(s) of two cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS) in rice plants. We grew rice lacking GS1;1 and GS1;2 under the ammonium sufficient condition. We harvested roots from the two mutants as well as those of the corresponding control.
Project description:Rice grown in paddy fields prefers to use ammonium ions as a major source of inorganic nitrogen. Glutamine synthetase (GS) catalyzes the conversion of ammonium ions to glutamine. In three cytosolic GS in rice, OsGS1;1 has the critical role for normal growth and grain filling. To understand a role of GS1;1, we performed transcriptional profiling of wild type Nipponbare and GS1;1 mutant plants in seedling using the Agilent Rice Oligo Microarray.
Project description:Goal of the study is to characterize specific function(s) of the cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS) 1;2 for apical meristem induction in rice plants. To address the issue, we conducted transcript profiling toward basal parts of the knockout mutant lacking GS1;2. We used microarrays conduct transcript profiling of gs1;2 plants. Wild-type samples were used as control.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of MIT knockdown plants. MIT is a mitochondrial Fe transporter essential for rice growth and development. The goal was to determine the effects of MIT on global rice gene expression.
Project description:In this study, we examined the transcriptome dynamics within the matured fully expanded rice leaf and used strand-specific RNA sequencing to generate a comprehensive transcriptome dataset for the mature rice leaf. The rice Nipponbare (Oryza sativa l. japonica) seedlings were grown in the greenhouse. About 20 days after planting, the fully opened 4th leaves was cut it into seven 3-cm segments, from bottom to tip and labeled as sections 1 to 7, respectively. The tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for total RNA extraction. Two biological replicates were collected for each section. Note: All samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession (SRS685294). This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence âSource Nameâ was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
Project description:This experiment was designed to identify transcribed regions of japonica subspecies of the rice genome. A series of high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays that represent sense and antisense strands of the entire nonrepetitive sequence of all the 12 chromosomes were designed to measure genome-wide transcription. A total of 12253842 36mer oligonucleotide probes positioned every 46 nt on average were used for this purpose. 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 population (seedling root, seedling shoot, panicle, and suspension cultured cells).
