Project description:Low temperature exposure during early vegetative stages limits rice plant’s growth and development. Most genes previously related to cold tolerance in rice are from the japonica subspecies. To help clarify the mechanisms that regulate cold tolerance in young indica rice plants, comparative transcriptome analysis of 6 h cold-treated leaves from two genotypes, cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive, was performed. The cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive genotypes were previously characterized, and are sister lines (derived from the same crossing).
Project description:As a species mostly planted in tropical and subtropical regions, rice is sensitive to chilling temperature, especially at reproductive stage. However, the effect of low temperature on seed development has not been well characterized. The transcriptome of two rice cultivars Zhonghua11 and Hanfeng were analyzed to characterize the gene regulatory networks of rice seed during low temperature treatment.
Project description:The genome-wide transcriptome analyses using microarray probes containing genes and repeat sequences have been performed to examine response to the low-temperature in rice. We have particularly focused on the rice anther at the booting stage, since the low-temperature at this stage resulted in pollen abortion. The results demonstrated that the low-temperature stress caused genome-wide changes of transcriptional activities not only in genes, but also in repeat sequences of the rice anther. The degrees of the temperature responsive changes varied among the rice strains.
Project description:Rice seedlings were exposed to low temperature and leaves were harvested after 0, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Proteins were analysed using label-free quantitative proteomics.

Project description:Rice low temperature transcriptome data
Project description:As a species mostly planted in tropical and subtropical regions, rice is sensitive to chilling temperature, especially at reproductive stage. However, the effect of low temperature on seed development has not been well characterized. The transcriptome of two rice cultivars Zhonghua11 and Hanfeng were analyzed to characterize the gene regulatory networks of rice seed during low temperature treatment. Whole plants of two rice cultivars Zhonghua11 (low temperature sensitive) and Hanfeng (low temperature tolerance) were treated at 14°C for 2 days during seed development stage. The plants without treatment serve as controls. Rice seeds were harvested for RNA extraction.
Project description:Background: Low temperature (LT) often occurs at the seedling stage in the early rice-growing season, especially for direct seeded early-season indica rice, and using flooding irrigation can mitigate LT damage in rice seedlings. The molecular mechanism by which flooding mitigates the damage induced by LT stress has not been fully elucidated. Thus, LT stress at 8C, LT accompanied by flooding (LTF) and CK (control) treatments were established for three days to determine the transcriptomic, proteomic and physiological response in direct seeded rice seedlings at the seedling stage. Results: LT damaged chloroplasts, and thylakoid lamellae, and increased osmiophilic bodies and starch grains compared to CK, but LTF alleviated the damage to chloroplast structure caused by LT. The physiological characteristics of treated plants showed that compared with LT, LTF significantly increased the contents of rubisco, chlorophyll, PEPCK, ATP and GA3 but significantly decreased soluble protein, MDA and ABA contents. 4D-label-free quantitative proteomic profiling showed that photosynthesis-responsive proteins, such as phytochrome, as well as chlorophyll and the tricarboxylic acid cycle were significantly downregulated in LT/CK and LTF/CK comparison groups. However, compared with LT, phytochrome, chlorophyllide oxygenase activity and the glucan branching enzyme in LTF were significantly upregulated in rice leaves. Transcriptomic and proteomic studies identified 72818 transcripts and 5639 proteins, and 4983 genes that were identified at both the transcriptome and proteome levels. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were significantly enriched in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and metabolic pathways. Conclusion: Through transcriptomic, proteomic and physiological analyses, we determined that a variety of metabolic pathway changes were induced by LT and LTF. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses demonstrated that DEGs and DEPs were associated with photosynthesis pathways, antioxidant enzymes and energy metabolism pathway-related proteins. Our study provided new insights for efforts to reduce the damage to direct seeded rice caused by low-temperature stress and provided a breeding target for low temperature flooding-resistant cultivars. Further analysis of translational regulation and metabolites may help to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which flooding mitigates low-temperature stress in direct seeded early indica rice at the seedling stage.
Project description:The genome-wide transcriptome analyses using microarray probes containing genes and repeat sequences have been performed to examine response to the low-temperature in rice. We have particularly focused on the rice anther at the booting stage, since the low-temperature at this stage resulted in pollen abortion. The results demonstrated that the low-temperature stress caused genome-wide changes of transcriptional activities not only in genes, but also in repeat sequences of the rice anther. The degrees of the temperature responsive changes varied among the rice strains. The five rice strains exposed to the low temperature at 12°C for four days, were used for the microarray analyses. RNA was extracted from the anthers one day (C1), three days (C3) and five days (C5: this is one day after completion of the cool treatment) after the cool treatment and non-treated anthers (C0) with three biological replicates.
Project description:The extent to which light-saturated net CO2 assimilation (An) and leaf dark respiratory CO2 release (Rdark) jointly acclimate to abrupt and sustained changes in temperature (T) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is unclear, as are the underlying mechanisms associated with thermal acclimation. To further our understanding of how sustained changes in temperature affect the carbon economy of rice, hydroponically-grown plants of the IR64 cultivar were developed at 30/25°C (day/night) in a temperature-controlled greenhouse before being shifted to 25/20°C or 40/35°C. Leaf RNA expression, protein abundance, sugar and starch content, gas-exchange and elongation rates were measured on pre-existing leaves (PE) already developed at 30/25°C, or leaves newly-developed (ND) subsequent to temperature transfer.
