Gene expression in S1 panicles of Ubi1:AtJMT transgenic plants and drought-treated nontransgenic rice plants
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To identify genes that are regulated by MeJA and drought, global expression profilings were performed on panicles from Ubi1:AtJMT, drought-treated NT, and untreated NT plants. The underlying assumption of this approach was that high levels of MeJA produced either by overexpression of AtJMT in the transgenic panicles or by drought treatment in the NT panicles regulates genes that are involved in spikelet and/or panicle development. Profiling was conducted using the Rice 3’-Tiling Microarray (GreenGene Biotech, Yongin, Korea). RNA samples from S1 panicles of Ubi1:AtJMT, drought-treated NT and untreated NT plants were used to generate cyanine-3 (Cy3)-labeled complementary DNA (cDNA) probes, which were then hybridized to the microarray. Each data set was obtained from three biological repeats.

Each data set was obtained from three biological repeats. Expression profiling was conducted using a Rice 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-Tiling Microarray. Information on the microarray can be found at http://www.ggbio.com (GreenGene Biotech). The Rice 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-Tiling Microarray was designed from 27,448 genes deposited at IRGSP, RAP1 database (http://rapdb.lab.nig.ac.jp). Among these, 20,507 genes were from representative RAP1 sequences with cDNA/EST supports and 6,941 genes were predicted without cDNA/EST supports. Ten 60-nt long probes were designed from each gene starting 60 bp ahead the end of stop codon with 10 bp shifts in position so that 10 probes covered 150 bp in the 3' region of the gene. In total, 270,000 probes were designed (average size, 60-nt) to have Tm values of 75 to 85 M-BM-0C. The microarray was manufactured by NimbleGen Inc. (http://www.nimblegen.com/). Random GC probes (38,000) were used to monitor the hybridization efficiency and fiducial markers at the four corners (225) were included to assist with overlaying the grid on the image. The microarray was used to profile gene expression in Ubi1:AtJMT, drought-treated NT, and untreated NT plants. Cy3-labeled target cDNA fragments were synthesized from S1 panicles using a Cy3-9mer primer. For normalization, data were processed with cubic alpine normalization using quartiles to adjust signal variation between chips and with Rubust Multi-Chip Analysis using a median polish algorithm implemented in NimbleScan (Workman et al., 2002; Irizarry et al., 2003). To assess the reproducibility of the microarray analysis, we repeated the experiment three times with independently prepared total RNAs.
Project description:Oryza sativa VIN3-LIKE2 (OsVIL2) acts as an epigenetic regulator together with Polycomb Repressive Complex2 (PRC2), which mediates trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) on target chromatin. T-DNA mutants of OsVIL2 displayed abnormal spikelet development. To understand function of OsVIL2 during spikelet development, RNA-sequencing was conducted in developing panicles of wild-type (WT) and osvil2 mutants.
Project description:To understand signal transduction mechanism by MeJA in rice, we have analyzed transcription profile with 60K Rice Whole Genome Microarray after MeJA treatment. Gene transcripts were extracted from ten individual rice plants treated with 100 uM MeJA for 6 hrs. RNA samples from these plants were used to generate cyanine-3 (Cy3) and Cy5-labeled complementary DNA (cDNA) probes, which were then hybridized to the microarray. Each data set was obtained from three biological repeats independently.
Project description:A total of 18 libraries from Setaria viridis were constructed using the Illumina TruSeq sample preparation method. We used two biological replicate libraries from the leaf, whole panicles (inside leaf sheath), whole panicles (coming out of leaf sheath), whole panicles (completely out of leaf sheath), whole panicles (completely out of leaf sheath, after pollination), spikelet (inside leaf sheath), spikelet (coming out of leaf sheath), and spikelet (completely out of leaf sheath).
Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to detect the small RNAs generated from the PMS1T gene and the cleavage sites mediated by small RNAs (microRNAs or phasiRNAs). Methods: The rice panicles were collected in liquid nitrogen and their total RNA were extracted for library construction and subsequent sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped a series of small RNAs generated from the PMS1T region of the rice genome; most of these small RNAs were 21-nt phasiRNAs. The results from PARE sequencing validated the cleavage site on the PMS1T transcript, with the cleavage mediated by miR2118. Conclusions: Our results show that the 21-nt phasiRNA generated from the PMS1T transcript are associated with photoperiod-sensitive male sterility in rice.
Project description:We performed microarray analysis of WT and ago2-1 spikelets tissue before stage 5 to identify target genes We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression in tissues from normal rice young panicles .
Project description:Rice reproductive development is highly sensitive to high temperature stress. In rice flowering occurs over a period of at least 5 days. Heat stress alters the global gene expression dynamics in panicle especially during pollen development, anthesis and grain filling. Some of the rice genotypes like Nagina 22 show better spikelet fertility and grain filling compared to high yielding and popular rice cultivars like IR 64. We carried out microarray analysis of 8 days heat stressed panicles of Nagina22, heat and drought tolerant aus rice cultivar and IR64, a heat susceptible indica genotype along with unstressed samples of Nagina22 and IR64 so as to understand the transcriptome dynamics in these two genotypes under heat stress and to identify the genes important for governing heat stress tolerance in rice.
Project description:OsMADS1 in rice is an important transcription factor in controlling flower development, not only in flower organs development, but also in floral meristem determinacy. Early flower panicle we used is a high expression stage for OsMADS1. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression underlying functions of OsMADS1 in rice flower development. Rice panicles in length of 2 mm and 5-7 mm were collectecd for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.Rice panicles in length of 2 mm is the stage for the initiation of inner floral organ development and in length of 5-7 mm is the late stages for floral organ development.Though comparing the microarray data of osmads1 and wild-type (control) at these two stages, we can find the functions of OsMADS1 in the early and late flower development stages. Three biological repeats were used. And totally 12 samples were analyzed.
Project description:Plants evolved several acquired tolerance traits for drought stress adaptation to maintain the cellular homeostasis. The combination of constitutive and acquired traits governs drought tolerance, which is crucial for maintaining crop productivity under drought. Drought affects protein synthesis, to uncover the translational landscape with response to drought stress in rice, polysome bound mRNA sequencing at anthesis stage in resistant APO and sensitive IR64 genotypes were performed. Our results demonstrate that drought tolerant genotype maintains higher transcripts bound to poly-ribosomes which facilitate higher protien synthesis which impacted on photosynthesis, spikelet fertility, seed filing and yield under drought stress. We identified many novel LncRNAs and relevant genes associated with translation which can play important role in manitaing grain protein content with drought tolerance.
Project description:Jasmonates (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) are phytohormones known to play important roles in plant response and adaptation to various abiotic stresses including salinity, drought, wounding, and cold. JAZ (JASMONATE ZIM-domain) proteins have been reported to play negative roles in JA signaling. However, direct evidence is still lacking that JAZ proteins regulate drought resistance. In this study, OsJAZ1 was investigated for its role in drought resistance in rice. Expression of OsJAZ1 was strongly responsive to JA treatment, and it was slightly responsive to ABA, salicylic acid, and abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, and cold. The OsJAZ1-overexpression rice plants were more sensitive to drought stress treatment than the wild-type rice Zhonghua 11 (ZH11) at both the seedling and reproductive stages, while the jaz1 T-DNA insertion mutant plants showed increased drought tolerance compared to the wild-type plants. The OsJAZ1-overexpression plants were hyposensitive to MeJA and ABA, whereas the jaz1 mutant plants were hypersensitive to MeJA and ABA. In addition, there were significant differences in shoot and root length between the OsJAZ1 transgenic and wild-type plants under the MeJA and ABA treatments. A subcellular localization assay indicated that OsJAZ1 was localized in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Transcriptome profiling analysis by RNA-seq revealed that the expression levels of many genes in the ABA and JA signaling pathways exhibited significant differences between the OsJAZ1-overexpression plants and wild-type ZH11 under drought stress treatment. Quantitative real-time PCR confirmed the expression profiles of some of the differentially expressed genes, including OsNCED4, OsLEA3, RAB21, OsbHLH006, OsbHLH148, OsDREB1A, OsDREB1B, SNAC1, and OsCCD1. These results together suggest that OsJAZ1 plays a role in regulating the drought resistance of rice partially via the ABA and JA pathways.
