Project description:The lem mutant was discovered in a doubled haploid (DH) line derived from the F1 of Gui-630 (Indica)xTaiwanjing (Japonica) by anther culture. The lem mutant did not affect other traits but caused all other floral organs (including palea, lodicule, stamen and carpel) to homeotically transform into lemma or lemma-like structures and caused floral meristem to be indeterminate, thus resulting in the mutant floret consisting of whorls of lemma and lemma-like organs. To identify the global gene expression changes mediated by LEM, we used 57K Affymetrix rice whole genome array to investigate the differences of genome-wide transcriptome between the young panicles of mutant lem versus WT samples during flower development stage. Keywords: rice (Oryza sativa L.),wild-type and lemmata mutant We generate gene expression profiles of rice cultivar Gui-630 (indica)x Taiwanjing (japonica) and mutant lemmata by using 57K Affymetrix rice whole genome array.
Project description:This experiment was designed to identify transcribed regions of japonica subspecies of the rice genome. A series of high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays that represent sense and antisense strands of the entire nonrepetitive sequence of all the 12 chromosomes were designed to measure genome-wide transcription. A total of 12253842 36mer oligonucleotide probes positioned every 46 nt on average were used for this purpose. The probes were synthesized via maskless photolithography at a feature density of approximately 389,000 probes per slide. The arrays were hybridized with fluorescence-labeled cDNA reverse-transcribed from equal amounts of four selected poly(A)+ RNA population (seedling root, seedling shoot, panicle, and suspension cultured cells). Keywords: tiling array, genome-wide transcription
Project description:Comparative transcriptional profiling of two contrasting rice genotypes,IRAT109 (drought-resistant japonica cultivar) and ZS97 (drought-sensitive indica cultivar), under drought stress during the reproductive stage
Project description:rice flag leaves at heading stage from three chromosome substitution line populations, which were respectively constructed by introducing genomic segments from japonica cultivar Niponbare, indica cultivar Minghui 63 and wild accession ACC10, to an indica cultivar Zhenshan 97, were collected. Metabolomics profile was conducted to generate quantitative trait loci that may affect contents of metabolites, and candidate genes were assigned.
Project description:Rice tungro disease is caused by the interaction between Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV) and Rice tungro bacilliform virus. Infection with RTSV alone does not result in any distinctive symptoms in Taichung Native 1 (TN1) that is one of RTSV susceptive indica rice cultivar. To elucidate the basis of asymptomatic response of rice to RTSV at the gene expression level, global gene response in RTSV-infected TN1 was detected by custom microarray. Keywords: time course, virus infection, disease response
Project description:Expression Data of Rice Crown and Growing Point Tissue Under Salt Stress imposed during the Panicle Initiation Stage Experiment Overall Design: Rice Genotypes a sensitive japonica, m103, tolerant japonica agami, sensitive indica ir29 and tolerant indica ir63731 were used for expression anlaysis using the tissue from crown and growing point under control and salt stressed conditions at the sensitive early reproductive stage (panicel initiation).
Project description:Towards understanding gene expression variation among related rice lineages on a genome-wide scale, we sought to assess global gene expression in the heading-stage panicle using a whole genome oligonucleotide microarray designed to represent 36,926 annotated indica genes. Using a loop-design, we interrogated gene expression patterns in six related rice lineages, including O. sativa (two Asian cultivars indica and japonica), O. nivara (Asian annual wild rice), O. rufipogon (Asian perennial wild rice) and O. glaberrima (African cultivated rice).

Project description:We characterized a rice (Oryza sativa L ssp. indica cultivar 3037) semi-dwarf mutant sd37, in which CYP96B4 gene (Cytochrome P450 96B subfamily) was identified as the target gene by map-based cloning and complementation test. A point mutation in CYP96B4 leads to a substitution of Thr to Lys in the SRS2 region. The sd37 leaves, panicles and seeds are all smaller compared with those of wild-type, and histological analysis showed that the decreased cell number was the main reason for the dwarf phenotype. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up- and down- regulated genes during this process.
Project description:Gibberellins control a wide range of aspects of plant growth and development. Although a series of mutant of the signaling pathway has been identified, the global regulatory network underlying gibberellin signal transduction has not been revealed. To address this issue, we performed microarray analysis with rice gibberellin signaling mutants, gid1, gid2, slr, and the parental cultivar Taichung 65.
