Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the fluoride susceptible indica rice cultivar IR-64 in response to prolonged fluoride stress. The genes exhibiting high significance of relative expression were further analyzed by RT-PCR. Results: De novo transcriptome assembly by Trinity v2.8.3 led to the identification of 158411 transcripts. The Percent GC was 49.67, contig N50 was 1327, Median contig length was 422, average contig was 768.66 and total assembled bases were 121764099. After refinement and open reading frame detection with TransDecoder 70578 transcripts were retained. Among them, 68009 transcripts had at least one hit from Uniref100, Uniprot or Pfam. Differential expression analysis identified 1303 genes to be overexpressed and 93 genes to be down regulated in response to fluoride stress. After filtering, the transcripts with absolute log2 fold change 2 or more and p-value < 0.05 were considered as significantly differentially expressed. A total of 1396 transcripts with differential expression (majority overexpressed and some down regulated) were considered for further analysis. Next, PCR analysis with gene-specific primers was performed with some of the significant DEGs associated with transport, cytoskeletal organization and signaling to identify the genes/transcripts that are involved in stress
Project description:To evaluate the roles of gene regulation in Oryza sativa leaf, dynamic profiles of transcriptome were investigated in Oryza sativa L. spp. indica with different treatments, the aerial tissues of one-month-old plants from four different areas (groups 1–4) were treated with 0, 40 mL of 25% azoxystrobin, 0.01 g of VdAL, or 40 mL of 25% azoxystrobin plus 0.01 g VdAL, respectively.
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:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. Plant miRNAs modulate their targets mainly via messenger RNA (mRNA) cleavage. Small RNA targets have been extensively investigated in Arabidopsis using computational prediction, experimental validation, and degradome sequencing. However, small RNA targets are largely unknown in rice (Oryza sativa). Here, we report global identification of small RNA targets using high throughput degradome sequencing in the rice indica cultivar 93-11 (Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica). 177 transcripts targeted by total of 87 unique miRNAs were identified. Of targets for the conserved miRNAs between Arabidopsis and rice, transcription factors comprise around 70% (58 in 82), indicating that these miRNAs act as masters of gene regulatory nodes in rice. In contrast, non-conserved miRNAs targeted diverse genes which provide more complex regulatory networks. In addition, 5 AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORS (ARF) cleaved by the TAS3 derived ta-siRNAs were also detected. A total of 40 sRNA targets were further validated via RNA ligase-mediated 5’ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RLM 5’-RACE). Our degradome results present a detailed sRNA-target interaction atlas, which provides a guide for the study of the roles of sRNAs and their targets in rice.
