Project description:Crown roots constitute the main part of the rice root system. Several key genes involved in crown root initiation and development have been identified by genetics and functional genomics approaches. Nevertheless these approaches are impaired by gene function redundancy and mutant lethality. To overcome these limitations, genome-wide transcriptome analysis can help to identify genes involved in crown root formation and early development. In this study we aimed to identify the genes speciffically expressed in developing crown root primordia in comparison with adjacent cortex tissue of stem at three different developmental stages before emergence from the stem. For this, we used Laser Capture Microdissection to collect crown root primordia in the stem base of 8-day-old rice seedlings. Affymetrix microarrays were processed in the Microarray Core Facility “Transcriptome“ of the Institute in Regenerative Medicine and Biotherapy, CHU de Montpellier-INSERM-UM Montpellier, http://irmb.chu-montpellier.fr/ .
Project description:Rice MERISTEM ACTIVITYLESS1 (MAL1) is an RING-H2 finger domain (RFD) contained gene. To elucidate the molecular functions of MAL1 during crown root development, we generated MAL1 knock-down transgenic plants. MAL1 RNA interfering (RNAi) transgenic plants exhibited shorter crown root length and less crown root number phenotype accompanied by low cell division rate.Here we sought to find the downstream genes of OsMAL1 in rice crown root tip
Project description:Crown roots differentiate from stem base in rice. In this study, we followed gene expression in stem base of two Vietnamese indica rice varieties that belong to two haplotypes defining a QTL associated with crown root number. We used microarrays to look for the gene differentially expressed in stem base of two varieties.
Project description:Here, we present OryzaPG-DB, a rice proteome database based on shotgun proteogenomics, which incorporates the genomic features of experimental shotgun proteomics data. This version of the database was created from the results of 27 nanoLC-MS/MS runs on a hybrid ion trap-orbitrap mass spectrometer, which offers high accuracy for analyzing tryptic digests from undifferentiated cultured rice cells. Peptides were identified by searching the product ion spectra against the protein, cDNA, transcript and genome databases from Michigan State University, and were mapped to the rice genome. Approximately 3200 genes were covered by these peptides and 40 of them contained novel genomic features. Users can search, download or navigate the database per chromosome, gene, protein, cDNA or transcript and download the updated annotations in standard GFF3 format, with visualization in PNG format. In addition, the database scheme of OryzaPG was designed to be generic and can be reused to host similar proteogenomic information for other species. OryzaPG is the first proteogenomics-based database of the rice proteome, providing peptide-based expression profiles, together with the corresponding genomic origin, including the annotation of novelty for each peptide.

Project description:Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is a cereal crop well-adapted to arid and high-temperature environments. Its root system exhibits a high degree of complexity, comprising distinct root types with specific anatomical and functional characteristics. These include the primary root, which is established during embryogenesis; crown roots, which develop at the base of the stem post-embryonically; and lateral roots, which emerge from both the primary and crown roots. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of gene expression profiles across these distinct root types to better understand their functional specialization.
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.
