Project description:We present metaproteome data from maize rhizosphere from sodic soil. Isolation of proteome from maize rhizosphere collected from Experimental Farm, ICAR-IISS, Mau, India was done with the standardized protocol at our laboratory and metaproteome analysis was done with the standardized pipepline. In total 696 proteins with different functions representing 245 genus and 395 species were identified. The proteome data provides direct evidence on the biological processes in soil ecosystem and is the first reported reference data from maize rhizosphere.
Project description:Eighteen genetically-diverse maize hybrids (Zea mays, dent lines crossed to a flint inbred-line) were cultivated in the field. Two conditions of cultivation were analyzed: normal sowing and early sowing. Upon early sowing plants grew under lower temperatures than upon normal sowing. Young leaves were harvested for proteomics quantitative analysis after a thermal time (equivalent number of days after emergence at 20°C) of 17 to 18. Three replicates per genotype/condition combination were analyzed. Each replicate was made up of the mix of leaf samples of five different plants.
Project description:Herbaspirillum seropedicae is a Betaproteobacterium capable of colonizing epiphytically and endophytically commercial grasses, promoting plant growth. In this study, we utilized RNA-seq to compare the transcriptional profiles of planktonic and maize root-attached H. seropedicae SmR1.
Project description:S. frugiperda fed with bx3 maize mutant and its control genotype B73 AND fed with bx1 maize mutant and its control genotype H88. The bx1 mutant is derived from the insertion of a Mu element within the Bx1 gene in a H88 genetic background (Hamilton 1964). Similarly, the bx3 mutant was obtained in the genotype B73 by insertion of a Mu element in the Bx3 gene (Frey, Chomet et al. 1997).
Project description:The experiment consisted of a field design containing two maize inbred lines Va35 and Mp313E. Va35 has yellow kernels and is susceptible to kernel infection by Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus). Mp313E is a white dent maize inbred line and was released primarily as a source of resistance to kernel infection by A. flavus. The test ears were inoculated with Aspergillus flavus and collected two days after inoculation. Non-inoculated ears collected 16 days after pollination were also used as a control. The microarray experimental design was a randomized complete block design with three replications. One microarray slide was used for each field plot. Each slide contained the inoculated and non-inoculated sub-treatments. A second slide for one replication of each genotype contained a dye swap for the inoculation treatment and three subsamples (dots) within the slide represented each contig.

Project description:Genotype and nitrogen-dosage effect on maize leaves collected at V8 leaf stage B73 is a model maize genotype while Illinois high protein line (IHP) is a metabolic extreme selected for higher grain protein concentration. It is a well known fact that the leaves serve as source and earshoot as a sink. Microarray analysis of V8 leaf collected from B73 and IHP genotypes grown at vairable nitrogen applications.
