Project description:A comprehensive time-course experiment of Pi-starved plants was undertaken, spanning medium (3 and 7 days), and long-term (21 days up to 52 days) Pi deprivation (âPi), as well as both short term (1 and 3 days) and long-term (31 days) recovery. The 52 days time point consisting of 21 days starvation +31 days recovery enabled investigation of the effects of long term resupply on Pi starved plants, and coincided with the emergence of the first panicles and grains. Pre-germinated rice seedlings were grown for 14 days in Pi sufficient conditions (0.32 mM Pi) before being transferred to either Pi sufficient (0.32 mM Pi) or Pi deficient (0 mM Pi) media for 21 days. After 21 days of Pi deficient treatment, half of the plants were either maintained under Pi deficient conditions or re-supplied with Pi (0.32 mM) for 1, 3 or 31 days. To confirm the effectiveness of the Pi starvation and resupply treatments, physiological and molecular analyses were performed.
Project description:We used RNA-Seq to systematically investigate the global transcriptomes of rice which was inoculated with viruliferous SBPH, or inoculated with insect-derived RSV or plant-derived RSV by mechanical inoculation, and generated a useful resource for the immune reaction of rice in face of different kinds of RSV. The changes in the expression of candidate transcripts may provide valuable information for future studies on molecular mechanisms of rice stripe disease.
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes responsible for grain number per panicle between a pair of rice varieties (Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1) by combining QTL analysis with expression analysis. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the panicle primordia showed 2741 differentially expressed genes. The differentially expressed genes were shortened to 18 on the basis of their occurance in the QTL region (responsible for grain number regulation) detected in RIL population derived from Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1. RNA from the stage '0' panicle primordia of Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1 were analysed in two different biological replications (A and B) making total four samples
