Project description:Phosphate starvation/sufficient rice seedling, root or shoot Pi-starvation or Pi-sufficient stresses responsible rice genes, including previously unannotated genes were identified by Illumina mRNA-seq technology. 53 million reads from Pi-starvation or Pi-sufficient root or shoot tissues were uniquely mapped to the rice genome, and these included 40574 RAP3 transcripts in root and 39748 RAP3 transcripts in shoot. We compared our mRNA-seq expression data with that from Rice 44K oligomicroarray, and about 95.5% (root) and 95.4% (shoot) transcripts supported by the array were confirmed expression both by the array and by mRNA-seq, Moreover, 11888 (root) and 11098 (shoot) RAP genes which were not supported by array, were evidenced expression with mRNA-seq. Furthermore, we discovered 8590 (root) and 8193 (shoot) previously unannotated transcripts upon Pi-starvation and/or Pi-sufficient.
Project description:Analysis of root gene expression of salt-tolerant genotypes FL478, Pokkali and IR63731, and salt-sensitive genotype IR29 under control and salinity-stressed conditions during vegetative growth. Results provide insight into the genetic basis of salt tolerance in indica rice. Keywords: stress response
Project description:We report the application of small RNA sequencing (Illumina) technology for the identification of miRNA from root and leaf tissues of pokkali rice cultivar grown under normal and salt stress conditions. We used this data to predict and identify known and novel miRNAs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of MIT knockdown plants. MIT is a mitochondrial Fe transporter essential for rice growth and development. The goal was to determine the effects of MIT on global rice gene expression. Control condition experiment, root or shoot of WT vs. MIT knockdown plant. Two replicates each comparison, including a dye swap.
