Project description:we monitored the responsive changes of rice genes at 0 and 6 hours across Xoo pathotype GIV infection in Nipponbare (NIP), ostopbp1c mutant and OsTOPBP1C-overexpressor by RNA sequencing. These findings provide new insights for directly identifying iTALEs-targeted resistance gene and the regulatory roles of OsTOPBP1C in rice-Xoo interactions.
Project description:An updated representation of S. meliloti metabolism that was manually-curated and encompasses information from 240 literature sources, which includes transposon-sequencing (Tn-seq) data and Phenotype MicroArray data for wild-type and mutant strains.
Project description:We conducted a global genomic analysis on the top6a3 mutant leaves by using an Illumina-type RNA sequencing We firstly conducted a global transcription analysis in rice leaves after the γ-irradiation treatment.
Project description:By comparing transcriptional profiling between a wild-type rice and an Al-sensitive rice mutant star1, we found that rice possesses novel mechanisms of Al-tolerance in addition to ART1-regulated mechanism in rice.
Project description:In this study, we aim to generate genome-scale DNA methylation profiles at single-base resolution in different rice cultivars (IR64, Nagina 22 and Pokkali) under control and stress conditions. Using high-throughput whole genome bisulfite Sequencing, we generated DNA methylation maps covering the vast majority of cytosines in the rice genome. More than 152 million high quality reads were obtained for each tissue sample using Illumina platform. We discovered extensive DNA methylation in rice cultivars, identified the context and level of methylation at each site.Numerous differentially methylated regions (DMRs) among different cultivars under control and stress conditions were identified and many of them were associated with differential gene expression. The high resolution methylome maps of different rice genotypes and differentially methylated regions will serve as reference for understanding the epigenetic regulation of stress responses in plants. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing of seven control/stressed samples from three rice cultivars (IR64, N22 and Pokkali)
Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of histone H3 trimethylation in rice endosperm. By obtaining about four hundred million bases of sequence from rice chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of rice endosperm. We find that the presence of H3K27me3 in either upstream or downstream of a gene is predominately associated with repression of the gene, while its absence is mainly associated with high gene expression. Examination of Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation in rice endosperm.
Project description:Rice grains are rich in starch but are deficient in proteins containing essential amino acids such as lysine and threonine. Therefore, efforts have been made to improve the nutritional value of rice by overexpressing the genes involved in lysine biosynthesis and/or suppression of lysine catabolism that led to the increased protein content in rice grains. Despite the economic and nutritional benefits rice, the protein accumulation mechanisms are largely elusive. Therefore, to explore the comprehensive proteome profiles, three different parts of rice grains including embryo, endosperm, bran were harvested from weedy rice cultivars (cv. Dharial) and its EMS mutant (DM) having 9.3 and 14.8% of protein content in rice grains, respectively. Here, we utilized a label-free quantitative proteomic analysis and this approach led to the identification of total 5,821 proteins. Of these, 322, 723, and 550 proteins revealed significant differences in their abundance in rice embryo, endosperm, and bran, respectively. Functional classification of identified proteins revealed that enrichment of proteins associated with nitrogen compound biosynthesis and transport, intracellular transport, localization, protein/amino acid synthesis, and photosynthesis, among others were observed in endosperm and bran of high protein mutant rice cultivar. Taken together, the current study uncovers the proteome changes and highlight the various functions of metabolic pathways associated with protein accumulation in rice.
Project description:In this study, we provide a global overview of genome-wide OsHOX24 binding sites in rice under control and desiccation stress conditions in wild-type and OsHOx24 overexpressing rice plants (H49 line) via chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-sequencing) approach. We identified numerous downstream targets of OsHOX24 under desiccation stress and control by analyzing the comprehensive binding site map of OsHOX24 at whole genome level in rice.
Project description:There are multiple types of small RNAs that may affect rice pollen’s development. To investigate the small RNA populations’ change during rice pollen development, 13-40 nt RNA were extracted from uninucleate microspores (UNM) and bicellular pollen (BCP) for high throughput sequencing. Together with our laboratory’s previous published rice tricellular pollen (TCP) small RNA sequencing data (GSM722128), sharp increase of tRNA fragments (tRFs) in BCP stage and a slightly decreased tRFs in TCP were found. Among which, new lengths of tRFs were also discovered. Our work accomplished the knowledge about tRFs in rice pollen development.
