Project description:In this study, integrated transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics approaches were applied to investigate the molecular responses of O3 in the leaves of two-weeks old rice (cv. Nipponbare) seedlings exposed to 0.2 ppm O3 for a period of 24 h. Based on the morphological alteration of O3-exposed rice leaves, transcript profiling of rice genes was performed in leaves exposed for 1, 12 and 24 h using rice DNA microarray chip, proteomics and metabolomics. This systematic survey showed that O3 triggers a chain reaction of altered gene, protein and metabolite expressions involved in multiple cellular processes in rice. Also investigated were the molecular responses in the leaves of two-weeks old rice (cv. Nipponbare) seedlings under continuous light and pure air (as a positive control for ozone exposure experiments) for a period of 24 h. Transcript profiling of rice genes was performed in leaves exposed for 1, 12 and 24 h using rice DNA microarray chip, proteomics and metabolomics. This systematic survey showed that continuous light and growth for 24 h also triggers a chain reaction of altered gene expressions involved in multiple cellular processes in rice, but different from those against ozone, in general.

Project description:In this study, integrated transcriptomics and proteomics approaches were applied to investigate the molecular responses of JA in the shoots of 7-days old rice (cv. Nipponbare) seedlings exposed to 5 micromolar JA for a period of 7 days. Based on the morphological alteration of JA-exposed rice seedlings, transcript profiling of rice genes was performed in seedlings using rice DNA microarray chip, and proteomics by 2-DGE. This systematic survey showed that JA triggers a chain reaction of altered gene and protein expressions involved in multiple cellular processes in rice growth and development and defense. Keywords: JA exposure response
Project description:To study a hybrid weakness of rice, we have employed microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes increased or decreased their expression specifically in the hybrid. Expression profiles of ‘Nipponbare’, ‘Jamaica’, and F1 hybrid were analyzed with ‘Rice oligo microarray kit’ of Agilent Technologies.
Project description:Heading date1(Hd1) is a critical regulator controlling rice flowering time, which promotes flowering under short-day (SD) conditions and represses flowering under long-day (LD) conditions. In our previous study (Luan et al., 2009), we identified a rice mutant, hd1-3, in which the Hd1 gene was deficient due to several insertions/deletions in the coding region. To search for downstream genes regulated by Hd1, we performed microarray analysis of hd1-3 mutant and the wild-type Zhonghua11 under both SD and LD conditions. According to the microarray results, SDG712 gene was significantly downregulated in the hd1-3 mutant, indicating that SDG712 gene may acts downstream of Hd1, and may functions in rice flowering time regulation.
Project description:In our earlier study, thiourea has been shown to improve the growth of rice and reduce the arsenic load from aerial parts of the seedlings. We have also shown the applicability of thiourea to delineate the redox regulatory mechansisms under arsenic stress in rice. To move further, present microarray was performed to reveal the involvement of overall gene and regulatory netwrok under arsenic with/without thiourea treatment in rice.
Project description:We analyzed the transcriptional activity of rice chromosom 4 using a tiling path microarray based on PCR-generated genomic DNA fragments. Five organ samples from various developmental stages and cultured cells were examined. Keywords: ordered
Project description:Rice Xa21 resistance gene, which encodes a protein with predicted leucine-rich repeat (LRR), transmembrane, juxtamembrane, and intracellular kinase domains, conferred immunity to diverse strains of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). We generated Xa21 plant on TP309 background (Oryza Sativa Japonica). Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) in plants confers durable broad-spectrum resistance to pathogens and requires a phytohormone, salicylic acid (SA). Arabidopsis NPR1/NIM1 is a key regulator of the SAR response. Recently, we found that rice NPR1 homolog 1 (NH1) mediated enhanced resistance responses for Xoo (Chern et al., 2005b). We further investigated relating pathways in rice by identifying proteins that interact with NH1. One of them, constitutive over-expression of NH1 mediated negative regulator of resistance (NRR) gene caused enhanced susceptibility to Xoo , indicating that this gene product negatively affects to basal resistance response (Chern et al., 2005a). To dissect defense responses for rice bacterial blight pathogen, we planed microarray using two resistant mutant named with Xa21-TP309, NH1ox and one super-susceptible mutant (NRRox) before pathogen inoculation and one day post pathogen inoculation. Keywords: Biotic stress response
Project description:We performed expression profiling experiments on two-week old rice leaf tissues grown in light and dark condition with the rice 47k array. Four biological replicates and a dye-swap were used. To generate more consistent results on light vs dark response in rice, biological replicates were prepared from 4 different varieties such as Kitaake, Nipponbare, Tapei309 and IR24 because individual genetic background can affect to expression profile (Townsend et al., 2003). Gene expression was assayed by probing the microarray with pooled Cy3 and Cy5 labeled cDNAs derived from 0.5-1.0ug high quality mRNA prepared from leaf samples. Keywords: Direct comparison
