Project description:We analyzed the transcriptomic profile of EFR:XA21:GFP rice lines treated with elf18 to identify genes differentially regulated during this response. We sequenced cDNA from EFR:XA21:GFP leaves treated with 500 nM elf18 for 0.5, 1, 3, 6, and 12 h. We also included untreated EFR:XA21:GFP and Kitaake as controls. Note: All samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession (SRS843490). This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence âSource Nameâ was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
Project description:In this study, we investigated novel rice genes that are expressed in aleurone cells by RNA-seq. RNA-seq was performed on four samples: a control sample, and samples treated with ABA, GA, and a mixture of the two hormones.
Project description:In this study we used single-cell type transcriptomics to identify more than 4,000 differentially expressed (DE) genes that distinguish uniplanar protonematal tip cells from multiplanar gametophore bud cells in the moss Physcomitrella patens. While the transcriptomes of both tip and bud cells harbor molecular signatures of proliferative cells, the bud cell transcriptomes exhibit a wider variety of upregulated genes. Our data suggest that the combined expression of genes regulating shoot patterning and asymmetric cell division accompanied the transition from uniplanar to triplanar meristematic growth in moss.
Project description:Large scale transcriptomics study to establish gene expression in leaf tissue of W22 inbred line in Zea Mays. RNA was extracted from leaf tissue when the plants were at V6. Sequencing library was produced following the protocol mentioned in the following publication PMID:22039485
Project description:The pistillody mutant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plant HTS-1 exhibits homeotic transformation of stamens into pistils or pistil-like structures. Unlike common wheat varieties, HTS-1 produces three to six pistils per floret, potentially increasing the yield. Thus, HTS-1 is highly valuable in the study of floral development in wheat. In this study, we conducted RNA sequencing of the transcriptomes of the pistillody stamen (PS) and the pistil (P) from HTS-1 plants, and the stamen (S) from the non-pistillody control variety Chinese Spring TP to gain insights into pistil and stamen development in wheat.
Project description:We used RNA-Seq to systematically investigate the global transcriptomes of rice which was inoculated with viruliferous SBPH, or inoculated with insect-derived RSV or plant-derived RSV by mechanical inoculation, and generated a useful resource for the immune reaction of rice in face of different kinds of RSV. The changes in the expression of candidate transcripts may provide valuable information for future studies on molecular mechanisms of rice stripe disease.
Project description:Hybrids and allopolyploids typically exhibit radically altered gene expression patterns relative to their parents, a phenomenon termed âtranscriptomic shock.â To distinguish the effects of hybridization from polyploidization on coregulation of divergent alleles, we analyzed expression of parental copies (homoeologs) of 11,608 genes using RNA-seq-based transcriptome profiling in reciprocal hybrids and tetraploids constructed from subspecies japonica and indica of Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Project description:The hemibiotrophic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Pathogen reproduction on wheat occurs without cell penetration, suggesting that dynamic and intimate intercellular communication occurs between fungus and plant throughout the disease cycle. We used deep RNA sequencing and metabolomics to investigate the physiology of plant and pathogen throughout an asexual reproductive cycle of Z. tritici on wheat leaves. Over 3,000 pathogen genes, more than 7,000 wheat genes, and more than 300 metabolites were differentially regulated. Intriguingly, individual fungal chromosomes contributed unequally to the overall gene expression changes. Early transcriptional down-regulation of putative host defense genes was detected in inoculated leaves. There was little evidence for fungal nutrient acquisition from the plant throughout symptomless colonization by Z. tritici, which may instead be utilizing lipid and fatty acid stores for growth. However, the fungus then subsequently manipulated specific plant carbohydrates, including fructan metabolites, during the switch to necrotrophic growth and reproduction. This switch coincided with increased expression of jasmonic acid biosynthesis genes and large-scale activation of other plant defense responses. Fungal genes encoding putative secondary metabolite clusters and secreted effector proteins were identified with distinct infection phase-specific expression patterns, although functional analysis suggested that many have overlapping/redundant functions in virulence. The pathogenic lifestyle of Z. tritici on wheat revealed through this study, involving initial defense suppression by a slow-growing extracellular and nutritionally limited pathogen followed by defense (hyper) activation during reproduction, reveals a subtle modification of the conceptual definition of hemibiotrophic plant infection.
