Project description:Normally, rice can elongate the coleoptile under submerged condition. However, reduced adh activity (rad) mutant cannot elongate the coleoptile under submergence. To investigate the change in gene expression, we performed microarray analysis. In this analysis, we used 1 day old seedling of rice. But it is difficult to isolate only coleoptile from rice embryo without any contamination in this stage. Therefore, we applied laser microdissection (LM) technique to this microarray. By use of LM, we isolated coleoptile from rice embryo and use for microarray analysis. As the results, we found that the differences in the gene expression profiles of coleoptile between wild type and rad mutant.

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:Rice (Oryza sativa L.) seeds can germinate in complete absence of oxygen. Under anoxia, the rice coleoptile elongates, reaching a length greater than that of the aerobic one. In this series, we compare the transcriptome of rice coleoptiles grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Lasanthi-Kudahettige, R, et. al. Plant Physiology (2007). Transcript Profiling of the Anoxic Rice Coleoptile. Keywords: stress response
Project description:Purpose: To understand the miRNAome changes during coleoptile senescence, small RNA libraries were constructed from control and senescence tissues and subjected to Illumina sequencing. Methods: Rice seeds were surface sterilized and submerged for seven days in sterile water. The seeds with coleoptile was transferred to aerobic condition. Senescence progression was monitored and tissues of un-senesced and senesced coleoptiles were harvested. Total RNA was isolated from the harvested tissues. Total four small RNA libraries of coleoptile senescence were constructed and high-throughput sequencing was performed using Illumina GA IIx system . . Results: Small RNA sequencing identified forty-one known and twenty-one novel miRNAs that were differentially expressed during coleoptile senescence. Integration of expression data of transcriptome and miRNAome identified 148 miRNA-mRNA modules, mainly comprised of miRNAs regulating TFs, signaling-associated factors and transporters, thereby demonstrating multi-tiered regulation of coleoptile senescence. Conclusions: The present study has generated a comprehensive resource of the molecular networks that enrich our understanding of the fundamental pathways regulating coleoptile senescence in rice.
