Project description:Deep sequencing of Brachypodium distachyon small RNA from panicles (flowers) was done to analyze the genome-wide distribution patterns of 1) total small RNA reads and loci, 2) 21 and 24 nucleotide repeat-normalized reads and 3) 21 and 24 nucleotide phased siRNA clusters relative to gene and transposable element density.
Project description:Comparative RNA-sequencing of the developmental leaf zones in Brachypodium distachyon wild type and bdmute mutants that do not form stomatal subsidiary cells was performed. The aim was to identify genes relevant for subsidiary cell formation in B. distachyon.

Project description:In this study we treated Brachypodium distachyon roots with synthetic auxin, 2,4-D, to induce nodule-like structures (NLS) and performed RNA-seq to assess transcriptome changes during NLS formation.
Project description:Due to its small and sequenced genome, short generation time, efficient transformation and increasing genetic resources, Brachypodium distachyon is an emerging model for grasses. Despite this, data capturing gene expression patterns across different organs and developmental stages is missing. We have generated a comprehensive gene expression atlas for Brachypodium, capturing 9 different organs and developmental stages
Project description:The wild grass Brachypodium distachyon has emerged as a model system for temperate grasses and biofuel plants. However, the global analysis of miRNAs, molecules known to be key for eukaryotic gene regulation, has been limited in B. distachyon to studies examining a few samples or that rely on computational predictions. Similarly an in-depth global analysis of miRNA-mediated target cleavage using Parallel Analysis of RNA Ends (PARE) data is lacking in B. distachyon. B. distachyon small RNAs were cloned and deeply sequenced from 17 libraries that represent different tissues and stresses. Using a computational pipeline, we identified 116 miRNAs including not only conserved miRNAs that have not been reported in B. distachyon, but also non-conserved miRNAs that were not found in other plants. To investigate miRNA-mediated cleavage function, four PARE libraries were constructed from key tissues and sequenced to a total depth of approximately 70 million sequences. The roughly 5 million distinct genome-matched sequences that resulted represent an extensive dataset to analyze small RNA-guided cleavage events. Analysis of the PARE and miRNA data provided experimental evidence for miRNA-mediated cleavage of 264 sites in predicted miRNA targets. In addition, PARE analysis revealed that differentially expressed miRNAs in the same family guide specific target RNA cleavage in a correspondingly tissue-preferential manner. B. distachyon miRNAs and target RNAs were experimentally identified and analyzed. Knowledge gained from this study should provide insights into the roles of miRNAs and the regulation of their targets in B. distachyon and related plants. Examination of various tissues and stresses in Brachypodium by high throughput sequencing for small RNA profiling and PARE (Parallel Analysis of RNA Ends)
Project description:We used Brachypodium distachyon (BD21) as a model grass to gain insight into the affected host molecular pathways upon infection of Panicum Mosaic Virus (PMV) together with its satellite virus, Satellite Panicum Mosaic Virus (SPMV). Brachypodium plants at 2-3 leaf stage were either mock inoculated or inoculated with PMV and PMV+SPMV. Total RNA was isolated from shoot tissues of control and treated plants and was subjected to microarray analysis.
