Project description:An indica rice cultivar FR13A, is widely grown as submergence tolerant variety and can withstand submergence up to two weeks. The tolerance is governed by a major QTL on chromosome 9 and represented as sub1. Recently the gene for sub1 has been mapped and cloned. However, the trait is governed by several QTLs and not by a single gene. To understand the mechanism of submergence tolerance we selected, two indica rice genotypes namely, I) FR13A, a tolerant indica variety and ii) IR24, a susceptible genotype for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under constitutive and submerged conditions at seedling stage. Keywords: Mechanism of submergence tolerance
Project description:A submergence tolerant indica rice cultivar FR13A, was also reported to withstand salt stress and proven in our experiments. The mechanism of tolerance is yet to be studied by forward genetics approach. However, it is known that salt stress tolerance is governed by several QTLs and not by a single gene. To understand the mechanism of such a complex mechanism of salt tolerance we selected, two indica rice genotypes namely, I) FR13A, a tolerant indica variety and ii) IR24, a susceptible genotype for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under constitutive and salt stress conditions at seedling stage.

Project description:An indica rice cultivar IET8585 (Ajaya), resists diverse races of the Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo) pathogen attack, and is often cultivated as bacterial leaf blight (blb) resistant check in India. Earlier we reported a recessive blb resistance gene mapped to the long arm of chromosome 5 in IET8585. To further understand the mechanism of recessive and durable resistance response, two indica rice genotypes namely, i) IET8585 (Ajaya), a disease resistant indica veriety from India and ii) IR24, a bacterial leaf blight disease susceptible genotype were selected for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under inoculated and un-inoculated conditions during seedling stage. Keywords: Bacterial leaf blight disease resistance mechanism
Project description:phoenix (pho) is a naturally occurring rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant that exhibits stable inflorescence reversion. Genetic analysis showed that it was not a simple mendelian mutant. In order to find the major genes contributed to the formation of pho, microarray experiments were carried out to analyze and compare the transcriptional profiles between pho and wild-type panicles. We generated gene expression profiles of rice Indica cultivar Zhongxian 3037 and mutant phoenix (pho) by using 57K Affymetrix rice whole genome array.

Experiment Overall Design: We used Agilent rice gene chips (G4138A) to investigate the transcript level changes in rice plant tissues during salt stress treatment. We used two contrasting rice genotypes (FR13A tolerant and IR24 susceptible) differing in salt stress response. Plants were grown in growth chambers and treated with 150 mM salt concentration at 14th DAS. Sampling was done in both constitutive and treated plants at 3 time points. Two replications of microarray experiments were carried out by hybridizing the RNA from tolerant samples against the susceptible lines on the same slide.

Project description:The lem mutant was discovered in a doubled haploid (DH) line derived from the F1 of Gui-630 (Indica)xTaiwanjing (Japonica) by anther culture. The lem mutant did not affect other traits but caused all other floral organs (including palea, lodicule, stamen and carpel) to homeotically transform into lemma or lemma-like structures and caused floral meristem to be indeterminate, thus resulting in the mutant floret consisting of whorls of lemma and lemma-like organs. To identify the global gene expression changes mediated by LEM, we used 57K Affymetrix rice whole genome array to investigate the differences of genome-wide transcriptome between the young panicles of mutant lem versus WT samples during flower development stage. Keywords: rice (Oryza sativa L.),wild-type and lemmata mutant We generate gene expression profiles of rice cultivar Gui-630 (indica)x Taiwanjing (japonica) and mutant lemmata by using 57K Affymetrix rice whole genome array.
