Project description:To understand how the qDTY12.1 interacts with other genes within the genome to give better yield under drought; the spikelets transcriptome of DTY12.1 parents (Vandana , Way Rarem) and DTY12.1 NIL (481-B) were compared under control and drought conditions. Drought induced gene expression was studied in the spikelets of the rice plants subjected to severe reproductive stage drought. Seeds of Vandana, Way Rarem, and 481-B were sown into rotovated soil at a rate of 2.0 g m-1 into plots of 3 rows X 3 m. The three genotypes were sown in three replications in a randomized complete block design.
Project description:The severity of impact of drought on crops is contingent on the developmental stage of the plant, with the most sensitive stage being the reproductive stage. Hence, gene expression profiling has been used to understanding drought response and resistance mechanism in rice. Here we present drought transcriptomes of rice in three developmental stages and gain insights into the processes and regulatory mechanisms involved in common and stage specific drought responses. Total RNA was isolated from the rice seedlings, vegetative (V4) and reproductive (R4) tissues of both control and stress treated plants for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Two independent replicates for seedling and reproductive stages, and three replicates for vegetative stages were generated, for both control and stress samples. For drought treatments, plants were gradually subjected to field drought conditions in order to reach 50% field capacity (FC) by regulating water supply, whereas control plants were maintained at 100% FC.
Project description:To understand how the qDTY12.1 interacts with other genes within the genome to give better physiological adaptations and better yield; the leaves transcriptome of DTY12.1 parents (Vandana , Way Rarem) and DTY12.1 NIL (481-B) were compared under control and drought conditions. Drought induced gene expression was studied in the leaves of the rice plants subjected to severe reproductive stage drought. Seeds of Vandana, Way Rarem, and 481-B were sown into rotovated soil at a rate of 2.0 g m-1 into plots of 3 rows X 3 m. The three genotypes were sown in three replications in a randomized complete block design.
Project description:Global gene expression analysis of AtDREB1A transgenic rice line (TL4) at reproductive stage under drought stress was conducted using microarray to explore the drought stress-responsive transcription pathways. Drought stress was imposed at late vegetative stage till booting of the plants. Flag leaf was collected on 14th day of the drought stress. Drought stress was imposed on T3 plants of two homozygous transgenic rice events of PS2 and NT plants by withholding irrigation for 14 days in the National Phytotron Facility, IARI.

Project description:In order to identify new miRNAs, NAT-siRNAs and possibly abiotic-stress regulated small RNAs in rice, three small RNA libraries were constructed from control rice seedlings and seedlings exposed to drought or salt stress, and then subjected to pyrosequencing.

Project description:The biological functions of differently expressed proteins between superior and inferior spikelet grains were investigated based on the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification to further clarify the mechanism of rice grain filling at the proteomic level, as well as the response of inferior spikelets to drought dress (-20 kPa or -40 kPa). Compared with superior spikelets, inferior ones had lower sink strength due to the lower sink activities (lower expressions of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, granule-bound starch synthase, starch branching enzyme and pullulanase) and smaller sink sizes (lower abundances of structural proteins). The slower and later grain filling resulted from the weaker decomposition and conversion of photoassimilate and the slower cell division. Moderate drought stress (-20 kPa) promoted the grain filling of inferior spikelets through regulating the proteins associated with photoassimilate supply and conversion. These proteins may be important targets for rice breeding programs that raise the rice yield under drought condition. The findings offer new insights into rice grain-filling and provide theoretical evidences for better quality control and scientific improvement of super rice in practice.
