Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze potential brown planthopper (BPH) resistant genes in Rathu Heenati (RHT) by Affymetrix whole rice genome array,BPH susceptible and resistant rice varieties of TN1（Taichung Native 1）as control. All the resistant related genes derived from RHT will be analyzed according to the SSR markers interval flanked on the chromosome 3, 4, 6 and 10. It will be benefit to the gene clone and marker assistant breeding for Bph3 gene in the near future. We used microarrays to detail the global differential gene expression before and after brown planthopper attack in two different varieties, and identified distinct classes of high enriched genes induced by BPH or constituent in RHT

We used microarrays to detail the global differential gene expression before and after brown planthopper attack in two different varieties, and identified distinct classes of high enriched genes induced by BPH or constituent in RHT The 2nd to 3rd instar nymphs of BPH were transferred to tillering stage seedings (10 BPH nymphs per plant) in a box covered with nylon-mesh. Stems of the rice plant infected by BPH were collected at 0h (T0), 8h (T8), 24h (T24) after BPH attack, total RNA were extracted for the microarray hybirdlization.
Project description:Nilaparvata lugens, the brown planthopper (BPH) sucks the rice phloem sap containing high sucrose to obtain carbon source. The comparative gene expression analyses were perfomed during feeding against starvation in order to determine sugar transporter and other feeding related gene expression.
Project description:Nilaparvata lugens, the brown planthopper (BPH) sucks the rice phloem sap containing high sucrose to obtain carbon source. The comparative gene expression analyses were perfomed during feeding against starvation in order to determine sugar transporter and other feeding related gene expression. Young BPH females that feed rice seedlings or feed-deprived (water-supplied) for 24 hours were prepared in triplicate. Gene expression was compared in these two groups: feeding and feed-deprived.
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate a spectrum of development and defense response processes in plants. The brown planthopper (BPH) is the most devastating insect pest of rice, BPH resistance gene BPH15 has a strong resistance to BPH. In this study, we analyzed six miRNA profiles of BPH15 introgression line (P15) and susceptible recipient line (PC) in 3 time points (0h, 6h and 48h) after BPH attacked, and identified 464 known miRNAs and 183 novel miRNAs. Before BPH feeding we identified 23 miRNAs expressed differently in P15 and PC. Then after BPH feeding, 104 miRNAs were found expressed differently in P15, and 80 miRNAs were found expressed differently in PC. Among them, miR167, miR444d, miR1846e, miR3979-3p, miR531 were found to be involved in BPH stress response. The response to BPH of P15 was much wider and more rapidly than PC. The levels of a subset of miRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. The targets of miRNAs were predicted and validated by gene expression profiling. Additionally, the target genes of 2 differently expressed miRNAs (miR160f-5p and miR167a-5p) were confirmed by detecting YFP fluorescence and western blotting. Our data provide an important basis for evaluating the role of miRNA in the regulation of BPH interactions in rice.
