Project description:Purpose: We aim to reveal maize transcriptomic changes in wild-type and Gβ knockout lines. Methods: RNA-seq was used to reveal transcriptome of maize biological replicates of wild-type and Gβ knockout lines. Results: Differnentically expressed transcritps were identified by the comparison of biological replicates of wild-type and Gβ knockout lines. Conclusions: We identified differentially expressed genes in Gβ knockout lines.
Project description:Purpose: We aim to reveal maize transcriptomic changes in wild-type and lncRNA GARR2 knockout lines. Methods: RNA-seq was used to reveal transcriptome of maize biological replicates of wild-type and lncRNA GARR2 knockout lines. Results: Differnentically expressed transcritps were identified by the comparison of biological replicates of wild-type and lncRNA GARR2 knockout lines. Conclusions: We identified differentially expressed genes in lncRNA GARR2 knockout lines.
Project description:The root system is fundamental for maize growth and yield. The primary root system is the most important structure of maize seedlings and is the first organ that emerges at germination, providing water and nutrients for the growing seedlings. However, it is difficult to characterize them at single cell level, due to their complex and heterogeneous cell types. In this study, we profiled the transcriptomes of more than 7000 cells derived from maize root tips of seedlings grown on media with (nitrate+) or without nitrate (nitrate-).
Project description:Purpose: We aim to reveal maize transcriptomic changes with water and salinity treatment. Methods: RNA-seq were used to reveal transcriptome of maize biological replicates with water and salinity treatment. Results: Differentially expressed transcripts were identified by the comparison of biological replicates with water and salinity treatment. Conclusions: We identified differentially expressed genes in respone to salinity treatment in maize.
Project description:Genome-wide and organ-specific landscapes of epigenetic modifications and their relationships to mRNA and smRNA transcriptomes in maize We report an integrated genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation, histone modifications, smRNAs and mRNA transcriptional activity, using maize as a model. We surveyed the epigenomes of the maize inbred line B73 in shoot and root tissue by Illumina/Solexa 1G parallel sequencing after digesting genomic DNA with a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme and after conducting chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIP) using antibodies that target specific histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, respectively). Additionally, we profiled RNA pools (micro RNA (miRNA), siRNA and mRNA) using the same sequencing strategy. Keywords: Epigenetics, mRNA transcription and small RNAs H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, DNA methylation and mRNA, small RNA profiled from shoots and roots of 14 day-old maize B73 seedlings
Project description:Different forms of N can affect plant metabolism. Differences can be observed at physiological and transcriptional levels comparing maize 4-day-old maize seedlings tretaed for three days with three different N forms: protein hydrolysates (SICIT2000 Spa), inorganic nitrogen (NH4H2PO4) or a mixture of free amino acids.
