Project description:Tissue-specific transcriptional profiling of the abscission layer (AL) at the base of young flower in rice using laser micro-dissection: NIL(qSH1) vs. Nipponbare. We used two rice varieties, NIL(qSH1) and Nipponbare. NIL(qSH1) is a nearly isogenic line containing the seed shattering gene qSH1. Seed shattering is easy in NIL(qSH1), but it is not in Nipponbare. So, we used some stages of young flower in NIL(qSH1) and some in Nipponbare. Four regions: 1. abscission layer region of NIL(qSH1), 2. upper abscission region of NIL(qSH1), 3. lower abscission layer region of NIL(qSH1), and 4. abscission layer region of Nipponbare. Sample experiments: NIL(qSH1) AL vs. Nipponbare AL, NIL(qSH1) AL vs. NIL(qSH1) upper region of AL, and NIL(qSH1) AL vs. NIL(qSH1) lower region of AL.
Project description:Comparison of syncytia gene expression between soybean near-isogenic lines 7923R (NIL-R) and 7923S (NIL-S) infected with the soybean cyst nematode (PA3).
Project description:In the study, RBSDV accumulation was detected in NIL-S starting from 16 days post inoculation (dpi) and increased linearly thereafter to reach a high level. Concurrently, the viral S10 encoding the coat protein exhibited a dramatic accumulation in NIL-S but not in NIL-R, as did the viral S7-1. We performed RNA-seq analysis at 16 dpi between NIL-S and NIL-R. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified based on the criteria of fold-change > 2 and P < 0.05. Compared to NIL-R, NIL-S exhibited 24 downregulated and 21 upregulated DEGs. Gene Ontology (GO) term analysis revealed that these DEGs are mainly enriched in one molecular process: oxidoreductase activity, and in three biological processes: biology, oxidation-reduction, and single-organism. KEGG analysis demonstrated significant DEG enrichment in three pathways: photosynthesis-antenna proteins, fatty acid elongation, and diterpenoid biosynthesis.

Project description:Gene expression profoling of developping endosperm at 3 and 6 days after flowering (DAH): Nipponbare vs NIL(TGW6) We used two rice varieties, NIL(TGW6) and Nipponbare.NIL(TGW6) is a nearly isogenic line containing the thousand grain weight qTGW6. For samples used three stages: 3 and 6 DAH endosperm in both Nipponbare and NIL(TGW6). Two dye swapped experiments were performed.
