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:Transcriptional profiling of MIT knockdown plants. MIT is a mitochondrial Fe transporter essential for rice growth and development. The goal was to determine the effects of MIT on global rice gene expression.
Project description:We created a triple loss-of-function/knockout mutant targeting three rice genes simultaneously. The three selected genes are as follows: OsADF1 (LOC_Os02g44470), OsADF6 (LOC_Os04g46910), and OsADF9 (LOC_Os07g30090). These three ADFs are strongly transcriptional expressed in the rice mature anthers (stages 13) and bi-/tricelluler pollen. The triple mutant of these OsADFs does not produce self-fertilizing seeds due to the short length of the pollen tube (male-sterile). This data is about mature anther transcriptome data about the triple mutant of OsADFs (ADFmT). We sampled mature anther for the analysis.
