Project description:Comparative transcriptome sequencing in leaf and root tissues of Control and Salt-treated Oryza sativa generated 52.2 and 17.29 million high-quality reads.
Project description:Studies have shown that Rice Salt Sensitive 1 (RSS1) is involved in stress response in rice plants. Primers were developed for amplification via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of a region that contained a simple sequence repeat (SSR) in RSS1. PCR was performed on 6 different varieties of Oryza sativa. PCR product was sequenced on an ABI 3730 capillary sequence machine. Sequence data was aligned to observe differences in SSR length between each rice variety.
Project description:Oryza sativa Indica group IR29 (salt sensitive) seedlings were subjected to salt stress or control conditions and sampled at five time points over the course of 24 hours. RNA samples extracted were assayed using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.
Project description:Oryza sativa Indica group Pokkali (salt sensitive) seedlings were subjected to salt stress or control conditions and sampled at five time points over the course of 4 hours. RNA samples extracted were assayed using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.
Project description:Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) is the progenitor of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) and is well known for its superior level of tolerance against cold, drought and diseases. To date, however, little is known about the salt-tolerant character of Dongxiang wild rice. To elucidate the molecular genetic mechanisms of salt-stress tolerance in Dongxiang wild rice, the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform was used to analyze the transcriptome profiles of the leaves and roots at the seedling stage under salt stress compared with those under normal conditions. The analysis results for the sequencing data showed that 6,867 transcripts were differentially expressed in the leaves (2,216 up-regulated and 4,651 down-regulated) and 4,988 transcripts in the roots (3,105 up-regulated and 1,883 down-regulated). Among these differentially expressed genes, the detection of many transcription factor genes demonstrated that multiple regulatory pathways were involved in salt stress tolerance. In addition, the differentially expressed genes were compared with the previous RNA-Seq analysis of salt-stress responses in cultivated rice Nipponbare, indicating the possible specific molecular mechanisms of salt-stress responses for Dongxiang wild rice. A large number of the salt-inducible genes identified in this study were co-localized onto fine-mapped salt-tolerance-related quantitative trait loci, providing candidates for gene cloning and elucidation of molecular mechanisms responsible for salt-stress tolerance in rice.
Project description:Studies have shown that Respiratory Burst Oxidase Homolog B (RBOHB) are involved in stress response in rice plants. Primers were developed for amplification via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of a region that contained a simple sequence repeat (SSR) in RBOHB.

Sequence data was aligned to observe differences in SSR length between each rice variety.
Project description:Oryza sativa L. Japonica nipponbare seedlings were treated with 300mM NaCl or water, and then samples were taken after one hour, five hours and 24 hours, to assess which genes are differentially expressed over time during salt stress treatment. The results from this dataset are also compared with those from the same samples assayed using RNA-seq.

Leaf and root mRNA profiles of Dongxiang wild rice at the seedling stage with or without salt stress were generated by deep sequencing, on Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform.
