Project description:Using the RL-SAGE method (Gowda et al. 2004), a maize leaf longSAGE library (cv. inbred line B73) was constructed. Leaf tissues were harvested from 4-week old B73 plants for RNA isolation. The conditions in the growth chamber were 12 h light (500 µmol photons m-2 sec-1), 20oC at night, 26oC in the day and 85% relative humidity. A total of 44,870 unique tags (17 bases +CATG) were identified from 232,948 individual tags in the maize leaf library.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in maize plants (standard maize line B73) in controlled conditions under continuous light. Tissues of the leaf elongation zone were sampled from plants well watered every 12 hours before and after lights on.
Project description:Through hierarchical clustering of transcript abundance data across a diverse set of tissues and developmental stages in maize, we have identified a number of coexpression modules which describe the transcriptional circuits of maize development. We examined transcript abundance data at 50 developmental stages/tissues of maize, from embryogenesis to senescence, using a custom Affymetrix Unigene array. The VE stage is germination and emergence Vn leaf stage refers to when the collar of the nth leaf is visible.
Project description:The exxpression profilling of chilling responsive and growth regulated microRNAs of maize hybrid ADA313 was conducted. Maize seedling were subjected to chilling temperature then meristem, elongation and mature growth zones were sampled. 321 known maize microRNA expression level were determined and compared between meristem, elongation and mature zones. Determining and validating of chilling responsive microRNAs associated with leaf growth of hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) ADA313

This GEO Series was created by the GEO staff as part of a cleanup effort to ensure that all GEO Samples are included within a Series entry.
Project description:We explored the gene expression profiles of developing maize kernel by RNA sequencing. Our purpose was to explore the sequence diversity across the inbred lines, especially in the gene regions, and to discover the gene regulatory networks employed in immature maize kernels.
Project description:MOP1-mediated regulation of gene expression of plant responses to early ABA induction has transcriptionally and physiologically relevant roles. Homozygous mop1-1 plants are compromised in their ability to recover from water deprivation. Purpose: Genome-wide identification of immediate and direct MOP1-dependent ABA transcriptional responses Methods: mRNA profiles of Mop1 wildtype and mop1-1 mutant V3 stage maize seedlings were subjected to ABA and MS treatments for 1 hour. The trimmed sequence reads were analyzed at the gene level using HISAT2, stringite, and edgeR. Results: we mapped ~33 million, 150 bp, paired-end sequence reads per sample to the B73 version 4 maize genome and identified 1,856 genes in four pairwise-comparisons to be differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with a log2FC ≥ 0.95 and FDR <0.05, 1,119 DEGs were found to be unique to one genotype/treatment comparison. Conclusions: MOP1-mediated regulation of gene expression in maize seedlings in the RdDM (mop1-1) mutant has relevant transcriptional and physiological roles in plants subjected to stress. Our study generated by RNA-seq technology identified genes and biological processes regulated by RdDM and ABA-mediated stress responses, including MOP1-dependent and immediate response genes (MIMs).
Project description:Small RNAs (21-24 nt) are pivotal regulators of gene expression that guide both transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing mechanisms in diverse eukaryotes, including most if not all plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the two major types, both of which have a demonstrated and important role in plant development, stress responses and pathogen resistance. In this work, we used a deep sequencing approach (Sequencing-By-Synthesis, or SBS) to develop sequence resources of small RNAs from different maize tissues (including leaves, ears and tassels) collected from wild-type plants of the B73 variety. The high depth of the resulting datasets enabled us to examine in detail critical small RNA features as size distribution, tissue-specific regulation and sequence conservation between different organs in this species. We also developed database resources and a dedicated website (http://smallrna.udel.edu/) with computational tools for allowing other users to identify new miRNAs or siRNAs involved in specific regulatory pathways, verify the degree of conservation of these sequences in other plant species and map small RNAs on genes or larger regions of the maize genome under study.
