Project description:To dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying drought tolerance (DT) in rice, transcriptome differences of a DT introgression line H471, the DT donor P28 and the drought sensitive recurrent parent HHZ under drought stress were investigated using deep transcriptome sequencing. Results revealed a differential constitutive gene expression prior to stress and distinct global transcriptome reprogramming among three genotypes under time-series drought stress, consistent with their differential genotypes and DT phenotypes. DT introgression line H471, the DT donor P28 and the drought sensitive recurrent parent HHZ under drought stress were investigated using deep transcriptome sequencing.The drought stress treatment was started by withholding water at the tillering stage. The days were counted after the AWC in the soil reached 20% to allow drought measurements at precisely determined intervals, and the soil water content reached 15%, 10% and 7.5% after 1d, 3d and 4d drought treatment, respectively.Three top leaves for each sample were harvested for each genotype under 1d and 3d drought stress and control conditions. All samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C and then for transcriptome sequencing.
Project description:Here we provide a set of 16 comparable transcriptome measures to monitor early changes in gene expression upon NP exposure. We evaluated A. thaliana response to 8 different types of NPs (metallic, carbonaceous and ranging from 10 to 80 nm) in comparison to biotic and abiotic stress inducers that represent most common environmental challenges for plants. Biotic stress was induced by infection with a necrotizing fungus (Alternaria brassicicola) or a hemibiotrophic bacterium (Pseudomonas syringae). Abiotic stresses induced by hypersaline conditions, drought and mechanical wounding were assayed in our plant growth model. The effect of abscisic acid (ABA), the most studied stress-responsive phytohormone which mediates stomatal closure and other reponses to drought and osmotic stress (ref), was also tested in the gene expression and phenotypes of NP-exposed plants. PART 1: Alternaria brassicicola (Abr), Pseudomonas syringae (Pst), saline stress (NaC), drought (drou), wounding (wou), 10nm TiO2 NPs (TiO2 10), 10nm AgNPs (Ag 10), bulk TiO2 (TiO), bulk AgNO3 (NO), Carbon Nanotubes NPs plus ABA (CNTs+). susana.garcias@ehu.es<a href=susana.garcias@ehu.es>additional contact details for submitter</a>
