Project description:We identified the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Triticum aestivum infected with Fusarium graminearum by high-throughput RNA sequencing. More than 393 million clean reads were obtained from Illumina Hiseq 4000 system and 126,391 transcripts was identified as high-confidence lncRNAs in T. aestivum against F. graminearum by an integrated approach. Already well over 4,130 of the total 4,276 differentially expressed lncRNAs were specifically expressed at 12 h post-inoculation (hpi), but only 89 of these were specifically expressed at 24 hpi, indicating that the initial stage was the crucial stage for lncRNA-mediated gene regulation of wheat defense against F. graminearum. Target analysis showed the lncRNAs participated in various biological stress processes.
Project description:Triticum aestivum leaves were collected under heat stress compared to non stressed plants during anthesis stage to assay peroxiosme biogenesis genes (pex11.3, pex11.4, Fis1A, DRP5B), antioxdant gens (CAT and SOD), and heat shock proteins (HSP90, and HSP101)
