Project description:44K oligo microarray analysis was performed for monitoring salinity stressM-bM-^@M-^Sinducible genes in rice. Two-condition, 0 h or 1 h treatment of 150mM NaCl in shoot or in root. Two dye swapped experiments were performed.
Project description:I'm a biochemist currently doing my PhD and the primary person involved in obtaining this data set.
I'm currently working with rice at the in vitro level, greenhouse controlled conditions and field trials. I am studying the proteome of salinity tolerant varieties, the implication of gibberellins in height and tolerance to salinity, and finally biotechnology to reduce the time to obtain stable hybrid rice lines.
Project description:Abiotic stresses such as salinity are very important factors limiting rice growth and productivity around the world. Affymetrix rice genome array containing 48,564 japonica and 1,260 indica sequences was used to analyze the gene expression pattern of rice responsive to salinity stress, try to elucidate the difference of genome-wide gene expression profiling of two contrasting rice genotypes in response to salt stress and to discover the salinity related genes and gene interaction and networks. Under salinity condition, the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 177-103 was more than that in IR64, and most of up-regulated DEGs in 177-103 are response to stress. But in IR64, most of up-regulated DEGs are transcription related genes. The DEGs under salinity showed very strong tissue specificity, the number of DEGs in leaf was more than that in root. A lot of genes differentially expressed by exogenous ABA treatment under salinity condition, such as Leaf senescence protein, 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase 2 precursor and Protein of unknown function DUF26 were induced by ABA and contributed to salinity tolerance.
Project description:Jasmonates is inductively produced as a major plant hormone responsible for defense reactions in plants against both biotic and abiotic stresses, such as pathogen infection and mechanical wounding. We identified JA-inducible genes in the wild-type rice leaves 0 - 4 h after JA treatment using 44k microarray.

In this study, the gene expression patterns across two organs including leaves and roots at seedling stage were characterized under control, salinity, salinity+ABA treatments by using the Affymetrix rice microarray platform based on a salinity tolerant rice line derived from IR64.
Project description:Analysis of root gene expression of salt-tolerant genotypes FL478, Pokkali and IR63731, and salt-sensitive genotype IR29 under control and salinity-stressed conditions during vegetative growth. Results provide insight into the genetic basis of salt tolerance in indica rice. Experiment Overall Design: Seedlings were cultured in sand and irrigated with a nutrient solution for 22 d (salt-treated) and 30 d (control) after germination, respectively. Salinity treatment was applied by adding NaCl and CaCl2 (5:1 molar concentration) in two steps over a period of 3 days (final electrical conductivity: 7.4 dS m-1) to prevent osmotic shock. All plants were harvested on day 30.

Project description:Jasmonates is inductively produced as a major plant hormone responsible for defense reactions in plants against both biotic and abiotic stresses, such as pathogen infection and mechanical wounding. We identified JA-inducible genes in the wild-type rice leaves 0 - 4 h after JA treatment using 44k microarray. Expression profiling in the wild-type rice leaves treated with jasmonic acid for 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h was compared with that in the untreated wild-type rice leaves using two-color method with three biological replicates.
