Project description:This study used with RNA-Seq to examine the tissue specific expression data within sorghum plants for improving the Sorghum bicolor gene annotation. We examined the RNA from tissues (spikelet, seed and stem) in Sorghum bicolor (BTx623).Total RNAs form each tissues were extracted using SDS/phenol method followed by LiCl purification
Project description:This study utilized next generation sequencing technology (RNA-Seq and BS-Seq) to examine the transcriptome and methylome of various tissues within sorghum plants with the ultimate goal of improving the Sorghum bicolor annotation We examined the mRNA of various Sorghum bicolor (BTx623) tissues (flowers, vegitative and floral meristems, embryos, roots and shoots) and bisulfite treated DNA from two root samples
Project description:Parallel Analysis of RNA Ends (PARE) sequencing reads were generated to validate putative microRNAs and identify cleavage sites in Sorghum bicolor and Setaria viridis.
Project description:We developed a commercially available whole-transcriptome sorghum microarray (Sorgh-WTa520972F) and generated this dataset to identify tissue and genotype-specific expression patterns for all identified Sorghum bicolor exons and UTRs. The genechip contains 1,026,373 probes covering 149,182 exons (27,577 genes) across the Sorghum bicolor nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. Specific probesets were also included for putative non-coding RNAs that may play a role in gene regulation (e.g., microRNAs), and confirmed functional small RNAs in related species (corn and sugarcane) were also included in our array design.

Project description:Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world. It is an annual C4 crop having a high biomass, used widely, and has a strong resistance to stress. Obviously, there are many benefits of planting sorghum on marginal soils such as saline-alkali land.
Project description:Comparative RNA-seq analysis of MAMP triggered gene expression in two sorghum bicolor lines, BTx623 and SC155-14E, revealed a clear transcriptional response to elicitation with the microbe associated molecular pattern (MAMPs) flagellin (flg22) or chitin elicitation.
Project description:Sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari Zehntner) is a key piercing-sucking type pest of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) which cause significant yield losses. While feeding on host plants, complex signaling networks are invoked from recognition of insect attack to induction of plant defenses. Consequently, these signaling networks lead to the production of insecticidal compounds or limited access to nutrients to insects. Previously, several studies are published on the transcriptomics analysis of sorghum in response to SCA infestation, but no information is available on the physiological changes of sorghum at proteome level. We used SCA resistant sorghum genotype SC265 for the global proteomics analysis after 1 and 7 days of SCA infestation using TMT-plex technique.
