Project description:This study analyzed the expression profiles of miRNAs in fifth instar larvae and pupae of the rice leaf folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis) using high-throughput sequencing technology. Furthermore, it predicted the target genes of significantly differentially expressed miRNAs and performed functional enrichment analysis.
Project description:The angle of rice leaf inclination is an important agronomic trait and closely related to the yield and architecture of crops. Through genetic screening, a rice gain-of-function mutant leaf inclination1, lc1, was identified . Phenotypic analysis confirmed the exaggerated leaf angels of lc1 due to the stimulated cell elongation at the collar.In this series, we compare the transcriptome of zhonghua11 and lc1 collar.
Project description:To elucidate the epigenetic regulation of salt-responsive genes helps to understand the underlying mechanisms that confer salt tolerance in rice. However, it is still largely unknown how epigenetic mechanisms function in regulating the salt-responsive genes in rice and other crops at a global level. In this study, we mainly focused on dynamic changes in transcriptome and histone marks between rice leaf and root tissues during salt treatment by using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq approaches. We demonstrated that the majority of salt-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) display tissue-dependent changes. Similarly, tissue-dependent chromatin changes have been detected between leaf and root tissues during salt treatment. Most importantly, our study indicates that chromatin states with a combination of marks, rather than an individual mark, most likely play crucial roles in regulating differential expression of salt-responsive genes between leaf and root tissues. Especially, a special CS containing bivalent marks, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 with a functional exclusion with each other, displays distinct functions in regulating expression of DEGs between leaf and root tissues, H3K27me3-related repressive mark mainly regulates expression of DEGs in root, but H3K4me3-releated active mark dominantly functions in regulation of down-regulated genes and possibly antagonize the repressive role of H3K27me3 in up-regulated genes in leaf. Thus, our findings indicate salt-responsive genes are differentially regulated at the chromatin level between the leaf and root tissues in rice, which provides new insights in the understanding of chromatin-based epigenetic mechanisms that confer salt tolerance in plants.
Project description:Elevated CO2 (eCO2) has an influence on developing leaf growth of rice (Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare), specifically lower growth stage than P4 (plastochron number), resulting in decrease in leaf size compared with that in ambient CO2 (aCO2). Since several micro RNAs are associated with the regulation of plant leaf development, in order to clarify which micro RNAs are involved in the decrease of leaf blade size at eCO2, we carried out high-throughput small RNA sequencing analysis and compared the amount of identified miRNAs in developing rice leaf blade grown between aCO2 and eCO2 condition.
Project description:Overexpression of OsMYB103L leads to leaf rolling in transgenic rice plants. To explore the possible molecular mechanism of OsMYB103L’s effects on rice leaf development, we examined the expression profiles of OsMYB103L overexpression transgenic rice plants and wild type leaf blades using Digital Gene Expression (DGE) profiling analysis.
