Project description:Deep sequencing of Brachypodium distachyon small RNA from panicles (flowers) was done to analyze the genome-wide distribution patterns of 1) total small RNA reads and loci, 2) 21 and 24 nucleotide repeat-normalized reads and 3) 21 and 24 nucleotide phased siRNA clusters relative to gene and transposable element density.

Project description:Monocot grass species (Poaceae) express a diverse set of multisubunit RNA polymerase enzymes, including Pol II, Pol IV and Pol V. To better understand this functional diversity, we have charted Pol IV function in the model Brachypodium distachyon. Intriguingly, pol IV null mutations in Poaceae crops disrupt growth, reproductive development and seed set. In order to investigate how Pol IV controls vegetative growth and TE activity in these grasses, we have isolated B. distachyon mutant alleles for Pol IV’s largest subunit, NRPD1. We obtained the germplasm in which to screen for these pol IV mutations from the B. distachyon community's sodium azide (NaN) and T-DNA insertion collections.
Project description:Comparative RNA-sequencing of the developmental leaf zones in Brachypodium distachyon wild type and bdmute mutants that do not form stomatal subsidiary cells was performed. The aim was to identify genes relevant for subsidiary cell formation in B. distachyon.

Project description:In this study we treated Brachypodium distachyon roots with synthetic auxin, 2,4-D, to induce nodule-like structures (NLS) and performed RNA-seq to assess transcriptome changes during NLS formation.
Project description:Due to its small and sequenced genome, short generation time, efficient transformation and increasing genetic resources, Brachypodium distachyon is an emerging model for grasses. Despite this, data capturing gene expression patterns across different organs and developmental stages is missing. We have generated a comprehensive gene expression atlas for Brachypodium, capturing 9 different organs and developmental stages
Project description:We used Brachypodium distachyon (BD21) as a model grass to gain insight into the affected host molecular pathways upon infection of Panicum Mosaic Virus (PMV) together with its satellite virus, Satellite Panicum Mosaic Virus (SPMV). Brachypodium plants at 2-3 leaf stage were either mock inoculated or inoculated with PMV and PMV+SPMV. Total RNA was isolated from shoot tissues of control and treated plants and was subjected to microarray analysis.
Project description:Concomitant sRNA and mRNAseq was carried out to elucidate the reprogramming occurring during Magnaporthe oryzae - Brachypodium distachyon interaction in three different setups: biotrophic stage of leaf infection (Leaf 2 DPI), necrotrophic stage of leaf infection (Leaf 4 DPI) and finally root infection (Root).
