Project description:Crop breeding aims to balance disease resistance with yield; however, single resistance (R) genes can lead to resistance breakdown, and R gene pyramiding may affect growth fitness. Here we report that the rice Pigm locus contains a cluster of genes encoding nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors that confer durable resistance to the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae without yield penalty. Among these NLR receptors, PigmR confers broad-spectrum resistance, whereas PigmS competitively attenuates PigmR homodimerization to suppress resistance. PigmS expression, and thus PigmR-mediated resistance, are subjected to tight epigenetic regulation. PigmS increases seed production to counteract the yield cost induced by PigmR Therefore, our study reveals a mechanism balancing high disease resistance and yield through epigenetic regulation of paired antagonistic NLR receptors, providing a tool to develop elite crop varieties.
Project description:In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from untreated and blast pathogen treated rice seedlings using a variety of blast resistant rice line H4, as well as the susceptible rice line Zhonger-Ruanzhan. These data are used to obtain 4087 genes that are differentially expressed in response to blast pathogen in both of rice lines,as well as 717 genes that are differentially expressed between different lines both in the moch-treated and the blast treated. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression in leaf from blast resistant rice line and susceptible rice line
Project description:Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the world's major rations. The widely planted hybrid rice in Jiangxi Province is seriously affected by Magnaporthe oryzae, which seriously restricts the rice yield in Jiangxi Province. In recent years, studies have found that alternative polyadenylation (APA) is an important post-transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes. The genetic law and function of APA in the occurrence of hybrid rice blast in Jiangxi are not clear. In this study, Wufengyou T025 (WFY) and its parents (male parent Changhui T025(CH), and female parent Wufeng B(WFB)) were used as the research objects. Transcriptome and metabolome sequencing, combined with a variety of bioinformatics analysis methods and modern molecular biology experimental techniques, revealed the APA expression profile during the occurrence of Jiangxi hybrid rice blast. To explore the regulatory mechanism of APA core factors during the occurrence of rice blast. This study not only provides a new understanding of the occurrence of Jiangxi hybrid rice blast, but also provides more abundant resources for molecular breeding.

Project description:Rice blast is one of the most serious diseases and is caused by Magnaporthe grisea. SHZ-2, an indica cultivar with broad spectrum resistance to multiple races of the blast pathogen, was crossed to TXZ-13, a blast susceptible but high-quality variety, to produce one BC3 line, BC10 line, which showed strong to moderate blast resistance over eight cropping seasons in the field. In this study, we compared the transcription between blast-resistant and -susceptive lines by custom microarray. Keywords: time course, blast infection, disease response

We generated the following pairwise comparisons : H4-0 VS H4-24; Zhonger-0 vs Zhonger-24; H4-0 vs H4-0; Zhonger-24 vs H4-24.
Project description:Methionine sulfoxide reductases catalyze the reduction of MetSO back to the correct Met residue. Previously, the gene of Capsicum annuum methionine sulfoxide reductase B2 was isolated and CaMSRB2-overexpressing tomato shows enhanced growth, which may trigger increased resistance to the pathogens. To assess the role of this enzyme in rice, we generated transgenic lines under the control of the rice Rab21 (responsive to ABA protein 21) promoter with/without Bar marker gene. Several physiological tests such as MV and Fv/Fm, indicators of an oxidative stress-inducing agent and a potential maximal PSII quantum yield, respectively strongly suggested CaMSRB2 confers drought tolerance to rice. Using 3′-tiling microarray covering the whole rice genes, we carried out genome-wide expression analyses with CaMsrB2-transformed rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. ILMI). Rice was grown in port for six weeks and treated with drought by water withholding for two days.
Project description:- Pollen tube growth is important process for successful double fertilization, which is critical for grain yield in crop plants. Despite much progress in identification of rapid alkalization factors (RALFs) which serve as ligand for signaling transduction during fertilization in Arabidopsis, there is no functional study of RALF in mono-cotyledon plant. - We functionally characterized two pollen specific RALF in rice (Oryza sativa) using multiple CRISPR/Cas9 induced loss-of-function mutants, peptide treatment, expression analyses, tag reporter lines. - OsRALF17 is specifically expressed in pollen and pollen tube as the strongest level among 41 RALF members in rice. Exogenously applied OsRALF17 inhibits pollen tube germination and elongation at high concentration, but enhances tube elongation at low concentration, indicating the regulation of growth balance. Double mutant of OsRALF17 with OsRALF19 exhibit almost male sterile, with defect on pollen germination and tube elongation. - Our study revealed that functionally-redundant OsRALF17 and 19 peptides binds to the OsMTD2, CrRLK1L family member, and transmits ROS signal for pollen tube germination and integrity maintenance in rice. We provide new insights into the role of RALF and expanding our understanding of the biological role of RALF in regulating rice fertilization.

Keywords: time course, blast infection, disease response Comparison between blast- and mock-infected rice. Biological replicates: 3 control (mock) and 3 blast-infected at each time point, independently grown and harvested at 24 and 48 hours after inoculation. Each sample was prepared with whole plant 5 cm above ground and was pooled from 5 plants grown under the same conditions.
Project description:The rice gene SUB1A-1 confers flooding tolerance restricting shoot growth during submergence. Rice with SUB1A also show more rapid recovery after submergence ends, but mechanisms by which SUB1A improves recovery from submergence had not been examined. In this study, the transcriptome was sequenced at five time points over a 24 hour submergence recovery period in near-isogenic rice genotypes with and without SUB1A.
