Project description:The current knowledge of drought stress transcriptomes in rice are mostly relying on comparative studies of diverse genetic background under drought. A more reliable approach is to use near-isogenic lines (NILs) with a common genetic background (Donar parent: Aday Sel, Recurrent parent: IR64), but contrasting levels of resistance to drought stress under initial exposure to water deficit. Here, we examined two pairs of NILs in IR64 background with contrasting drought tolerance. We obtained gene expression profile in roots of rice NILs under different levels of drought stress help to identify genes and mechanisms involved in drought stress.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to identify any genes differentially expressed between the Soybean Near Isogenic Lines iron efficient Clark and iron inefficient IsoClark under iron sufficient hydroponic conditions. These genes would represent constituative genetic differences between the NILs. Keywords: Near Isogenic Line Comparison of Unstressed Soybean Plants
Project description:Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive pests in rice production. The pyramiding application of BPH-resistance genes BPH14 and BPH15 can effectively improve rice resistance to BPH, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying BPH14/BPH15 pyramiding lines are poorly understood. Here, a mRNA expression profiling analysis was performed on the near isogenic lines (NILs) containing the BPH14, BPH15 or BPH14/BPH15 and their recurrent parent (RP) Wushansimiao. A total of 14492 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) were identified from 12 mRNA profiles of resistant NILs and RP at different feeding stages. In the transcriptome analysis, 531 DEGs appeared to be common among the resistant NILs compared to RP before and after BPH feeding, which were enriched in defense response, phosphorylation and salt stress response. In addition, 258 DEGs shared only in resistant NILs were obtained among the different feeding stages, which were enriched in oxidative stress response, karrikin response and chloroplast organization. 21 DEGs were further selected as candidates for BPH resistance. OsPOX8.1, a potential candidate DEG related to BPH resistance, increased reactive oxygen species levels in rice protoplast. Our results provide valuable information to further explore the defense mechanism of insect-resistant gene pyramiding lines and develop robust strategies for insect control.
Project description:Microarray gene expression analysis were performed to identify genes responding to Fusarium graminearum inoculation and genes that show a differential regulation between the resistant c.v. Sumai-3 and the susceptible near isogenic lines. Sumai-3 is a Chinese wheat cultivar, the most commonly used source of resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease. NIL-3 and NIL-4 are near isogenic lines susceptible to FHB and are derived from a cross between Sumai-3 and Chuan980, a susceptible wheat cultivar, followed by seven generations of marker assisted backcrossing with the recurrent parent Sumai-3 and selection for FHB susceptibility in each generation by artificial inoculation with F. graminearum. A combination of DNA markers including simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) were used to screen for DNA polymorphisms between Sumai-3 and its susceptible NILs. Polymorphic markers were mapped using a mapping population. The analysis indicated 7 polymorphisms between the susceptible NILs and the resistant Sumai-3. The analysis indicated that NIL-3 differs from Sumai-3 at chromosome 3BS and NIL-4 differs from Sumai-3 at chromosome 2AL region.
Project description:Purpose: This study gives insight into transcriptomic dynamics and the set of important candidate acting as modules to regulate the changes in resistant NIL upon M.oryzae infection. Methods: Rice leaves were collected after M. Oryza (Mo-nwi-53) infection from resistant NILs and suceptible line were frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was extracted using Spectrum™ Plant Total RNA Kit (Sigma). Standard Illumina protocols was used for preparing RNA sequencing libraries. Results: Around 30 million pairs of filtered 101 base paired reads were obtained for each biological replicate. Conclusions: Pathway, gene set enrichment and co-expression analysis of SDEL unique to each resistant NIL respectively decipher the common broad spectrum resistance mechanism found in resistant NIL and provide important candidate genes.
Project description:NILs were created for the detailed genetic mapping of a QTL (gFW9.1) in tomato. Residual heterozygocity in recombinant inbred lines from the cross S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme (parental accession E9) × S. pimpinellifolium line (parental accession L5) was used for the generation of a pair of NILs of which line E9 had DNA from parent E9 on a large section of chromosome 9 (5-56 Mb), whereas line L5 had parent L5 DNA. These two lines were tested as rootstocks grafted to a common scion (cv. Boludo) in multi-stress conditions - low phosphorus and drought stress compared to high phosphorus and well-watered conditions. RNA for transcriptomic analysis was prepared from root tissues. Secondary use of data: In a study aiming to identify genes that respond to multiple abiotic stresses, microarray data obtained from different plant species and under different stresses was analysed. A number of conserved stress-responsive genes were identified whose expression was differentially regulated in tomato roots in response to one or several stresses. 10 of these genes were validated as reliable biomarkers whose expression levels are related to different signalling pathways involved in adaptive stress responses. This dataset comprises part of the full stress dataset and is for plant roots harvested after growth under low phosphorus and drought conditions, compared to plant roots harvested after growth under sufficient phosphorus and well watered conditions.
Project description:Genes controlling differences in seed longevity between two barley (Hordeum vulgare) accessions were identified by combining a quantitative genetics approach with ˈomicsˈ technologies in Near Isogenic Lines (NILs). The NILs were derived from crosses between the spring barley landraces L94 from Ethiopia and Cebada Capa from Argentina, which produce short-lived and long-lived seeds, respectively. The NILs harbor introgressions from Cebada Capa in four QTLs for seed longevity on 1H and 2H in the background of L94. A label-free proteome analysis was performed on mature, non aged seeds of the two parental lines and the L94 NILs.
