Project description:WRKY45-overexpressing (WRKY45-ox) rice plants are extremely resistant to rice blast and bacterial leaf-blight diseases. To search for the genes that are potentially responsible for the strong resistance, we performed genome-wide gene expression analysis in WRKY45-ox rice. A microarray analysis using Agilent rice oligo microarray for approximately 42,000 rice genes identified 1,664 genes that are upregulated in WRKY45-ox rice compared with non-transformant rice cv. Nipponbare (NB). Analysis of the genes with altered expression in WRKY45-ox rice by a Gene ontology program (Agri GO; http://bioinfo.cau.edu.cn/agriGO/) revealed that several genes in the biosynthetic pathway for diterpenoid phytoalexins, for which anti-blast fungus activities have been reported, were upregulated in WRKY45-ox rice. Nipponbare rice (Oryza sativa) and WRKY45-ox rice were analyzed in three biological replicates.

Project description:Vector control and OsTZF1-OX rice plants (O. sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) were grown in plastic pots filled with nutrient soil for 2 weeks under flooded lowland conditions and a 12 h/12 h light/dark cycle (1000 umol photons/m2/s) at 28C (day) and 25C (night). For NaCl treatment, two-week-old plants were transferred to 250 mM NaCl solution and incubated for 2 days under the above conditions.
Project description:To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of jasmonate inhibits gibberellins signaling in rice, we performed transcriptional profiling of wild type nipponbare and mutant coi1-13 plants on a global scale using the Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array
Project description:In this study, we used a cross-species network approach to uncover nitrogen (N)-regulated network modules conserved across a model and a crop species. By translating gene network knowledge from the data-rich model Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana, ecotype Columbia-0) to a crop, rice (Oryza sativa spp. japonica (Nipponbare)), we identified evolutionarily conserved N-regulatory modules as targets for translational studies to improve N use efficiency in transgenic plants.
Project description:Rice is one of the most important global food crops, and is also a model organism for cereal research 31 . Complete genome sequencing of rice, together with advances in transcriptomics and proteomics, has had a dramatic impact on plant growth and 5 breeding programs 32 . Genomic analysis of DNA methylation in rice has revealed methylation patterns associated with gene bodies and promoters, and the occurrence of high levels of DNA methylation in the centromeric domain 33 . A genome-wide investigation of acetylation in rice revealed that H3K9ac and H3K27ac are mainly enriched at transcription start sites associated with active transcription 34 . Furthermore, global proteome analysis has shown that phosphorylation and succinylation are involved in diverse cellular and metabolic processes 35, 36 . However, despite these considerable advances in our knowledge, additional large-scale analysis of the lysine acetylome in rice is expected to identify many more Kac sites and acetylated proteins in this improtant crop plant. In this study, affinity enrichment and high-resolution LC-MS/MS were used for large-scale analysis of the lysine acetylome in rice variety Nipponbare. In total, 1353 lysine acetylation sites were detected in 866 protein groups in rice seedlings. Proteomic analysis showed that Kac occurs in proteins involved in diverse biological processes with varied cellular functions and subcellular localization.
Project description:Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) is frequently exposed to multiple stresses, including Schizotetranychus oryzae mite infestation. Rice domestication has narrowed the genetic diversity of the species, leading to a wide susceptibility. This work aimed to observe the response of two wild rice species (Oryza barthii and O. glaberrima) and two O. sativa genotypes (cv. Nipponbare and f. spontanea) to S. oryzae infestation. Surprisingly, leaf damage, histochemistry, chlorophyll concentration and fluorescence showed that the wild species present higher level of leaf damage, increased accumulation of H2O2 and lower photosynthetic capacity when compared to O. sativa genotypes under infested conditions. Infestation decreased tiller number, except in Nipponbare. Infestation also caused the death of wild plants during the reproductive stage. While infestation did not affect the weight of 1,000 grains in both O. sativa genotypes, the number of panicles per plant was affected only in f. spontanea, and the percentage of full seeds per panicle and seed length were increased only in Nipponbare. Using proteomic analysis, we identified 195 differentially abundant proteins when comparing susceptible (O. barthii) and tolerant (Nipponbare) genotypes under control and infested conditions. O. barthii has a less abundant antioxidant arsenal and is unable to modulate proteins involved with general metabolism and energy production under infested condition. Nipponbare presents high abundance of detoxification-related proteins, general metabolic processes and energy production, suggesting that, under infested condition, the primary metabolism is maintained more active compared to O. barthii. Also, under infested conditions, Nipponbare presents higher levels of proline and a greater abundance of defense-related proteins, such as osmotin, ricin B-like lectin, and protease inhibitors. These differentially abundant proteins can be used as biotechnological tools in breeding programs aiming increased tolerance to mite infestation.
Project description:In this study, we examined the transcriptome dynamics within the matured fully expanded rice leaf and used strand-specific RNA sequencing to generate a comprehensive transcriptome dataset for the mature rice leaf. The rice Nipponbare (Oryza sativa l. japonica) seedlings were grown in the greenhouse. About 20 days after planting, the fully opened 4th leaves was cut it into seven 3-cm segments, from bottom to tip and labeled as sections 1 to 7, respectively. The tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for total RNA extraction. Two biological replicates were collected for each section. Note: All samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession (SRS685294). This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence âSource Nameâ was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
Project description:To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of jasmonate inhibits gibberellins signaling in rice, we performed transcriptional profiling of wild type nipponbare and mutant coi1-13 plants on a global scale using the Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array Rice young uppermost internodes were harvested and three biological repeats were performed on Nippombare (wild-type) and coi1-13 (mutant), respectively.
Project description:Abiotic environmental stresses cause serious economic losses in agriculture. These stresses include temperature extremes, high salinity and drought. To isolate drought-responsive novel coding and noncoding genes, we used the next generation sequencing method from three rice cultivars (wild type nipponbare, nipponbare AP2 transgenic plants, wild type vandana). 36 NGS data of mRNA-seq, small RNA-seq, riboZero-seq were analyzed. For the analyses of these data we constructed a TF-TG (Transcription Factor-Target Gene) network and an ap2 rooted cascading tree. Using these networks and tress we isolated lincRNAs, differentially expressed miRNAs and their targets. We identified several drought stress-related novel/function unknown coding transcripts (transcription factors and functional genes) and non-coding transcripts (small noncoding transcripts such as microRNA and long noncoding transcripts) from these database analyses and have constructed databases of drought stress-related coding and noncoding transcripts
