Project description:Iron toxicity is one of the most common mineral disorders affecting Oryza sativa production in flooded lowland fields. Efforts have been made to develop new rice varieties tolerant to Fe toxicity (+Fe). Oryza meridionalis is an endemic from Northern Australia and grows in regions with Fe rich soils, which may provide Fe tolerance genes and mechanisms that can be used for adaptive breeding. Aiming to understand tolerance mechanisms in rice, we screened a population of interspecific introgression lines (IL) from a cross between O. sativa and O. meridionalis for the identification of QTLs contributing to Fe excess tolerance. Six putative QTLs were identified. A line carrying one introgression from O. meridionalis on chromosome 9 associated with one QTL for leaf bronzing score was identified as tolerant in terms of lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage despite presenting very high shoot Fe concentrations. Further physiological, biochemical, ionomic and transcriptomic analyses showed that the IL tolerance could be partly explained by Fe partitioning between the leaf sheath and culm. After the in silico construction of an interspecific hybrid genome to map the sequences from transcriptomic analysis, we identified 47 and 27 genes from O. meridionalis up and down-regulated, respectively, by Fe treatment on the tolerant IL. Among possible genes associated with shoot-based tolerance, we identified metallothionein-like proteins, genes from glutathione S-transferase family and transporters from ABC and Major Facilitator Superfamily. This is the first work to demonstrate that introgressions of O. meridionalis in O. sativa genome confer increased tolerance to +Fe
Project description:The transcriptomes of resistant BPH15 introgression line and the susceptible recipient line were analyzed using high-throughput RNA sequencing. In total, 2,914 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. BPH-responsive transcript profiles were distinct between resistant and susceptible plants and between the early stage (6 h after infestation, HAI) and late stage (48 HAI). The key defense mechanism was related to jasmonate signaling, ethylene signaling, receptor kinase, MAPK cascades, Ca2+ signaling, PR genes, transcription factors, and protein post-translational modifications. Note: All samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession (SRS565690 and SRS565691). This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence Source Name was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of the study is to compare the transcriptomic differences of the panicle tissue at the reproductive-stage of the Introgression Line (IR 96321-1447-165-B-3-1-2), which is drought-tolerant, to Swarna (recipient parent), which is drought-sensitive.

Project description:Artificial miRNA mediated knock-down ago18 transgenic lines [ago18(1), ago18(2)] showed developmentally compromised phenotype in both vegetative and reproductive tissues compared to wild-type control. We have performed small RNA seq to investigate underlying molecular mechanism and to reveal functional role of AGO18 in rice.
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:Using the HiSeqTM 2000 sequencing platform, the anther transcriptome of photo thermo sensitive genic male sterile lines (PTGMS) rice Y58S and P64S (Peiâai 64S) were analyzed at the fertility sensitive stage under cold stress.These datas would be most beneficial for further studies investigating the molecular mechanisms of rice responses to cold stress.
Project description:In the current study, we characterized an miRNA, OsmiR397, which was found to be associated with increased grain size, more rice panicle branching and higher grain productivity. We also elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which OsmiR397 increased grain yield. This miRNA downregulated the expression of its target gene, OsLAC, which then affected the sensitivity of plants to brassinosteroids. These results should be useful for breeding high-yield crops through genetic engineering. We performed RNA-seq on the young panicles of the wild-type, OXmiR397b and OXLAC plants and found that lots of brassinosteroid-related genes were differentially expressed between the three samples
