Project description:Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are pivotal element for proper plant growth and development. We performed microarray analysis of rice shoot and root after nitrogen deficiency (-N) treatment under phosphorus deficiency (-P) condition to obtain a global view of gene regulations associated with plant response to -N under -P 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:Macronutrients are pivotal elements for proper plant growth and development. We performed microarray analysis of rice shoot under nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) deficiency conditions to obtain a global view of gene regulations associated with plant response to essential nutrients.
Project description:Macronutrients are pivotal elements for proper plant growth and development. We performed microarray analysis of rice shoot under nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) deficiency conditions to obtain a global view of gene regulations associated with plant response to essential nutrients. We performed microarray analysis of rice shoot under N, P and K deficiency conditions (1/4, 1/16 and 1/64 of normal concentration) and control for each nutrient. We collected a total of 36 microarray data corresponding to 12 samples with 3 replicates.

Project description:Appropriate soil nutrient management is critical for modern Canola (Brassica napus L.) varieties and hybrids to meet their yield potentials. Canola fields are typically supplemented by the application of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, and to a lesser extent, potassium fertilizers to maximize yield, while deficiency in these key macronutrients can result in severe growth phenotypes and significant yield losses. To date, our understanding of canola nutrient deficiency responses is disparate, encompassing a large number of varieties using a variety of technologies and assessment criteria, with seminal understanding of the overlaps between nutrient deficiencies responses, having not yet been defined, placing limitations on our ability to increase the nutrient efficiency of this critical oil seed. To address this, we performed a comparative quantitative proteomics analysis of both shoot and root tissue harvested from soil-grown Canola plants experiencing either nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or sulphur deficiency. Our results show intriguing similarities in plant responses to deficiency in multiple nutrients. We also find very distinct proteome-level changes between shoot and root tissue of plants experiencing nutrient stress, suggesting the presence of highly organ-specific responses to nutrient deficiency. Our results pave the way for a more comprehensive understanding of the shared and distinct response mechanisms of plants to multiple essential nutrients.
