Project description:This experiment was designed to identify transcribed regions of both japonica and indica rice chromosome 10. A series of high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays that represent sense and antisense strands of the entire nonrepetitive sequence of the chromosome were used to measure transcriptional activities. A total of 750,282 and 838,816 36mer oligonucleotide probes, positioned every 46 nt on average, were designed to interrogating the japonica and the indica chromosome, respectively. The probes were synthesized via maskless photolithography at a feature density of approximately 389,000 probes per slide. The arrays were hybridized with fluorescence-labeled cDNA reverse-transcribed from equal amounts of four selected poly(A)+ RNA populations, namely, seedling roots, seedling shoots, panicles, and suspension cultured cells of the respective rice subspecies.

Project description:Canna indica L. is an ornamental plant with petaloid staminodes and only a half fertile stamen in its flowers. The genetic basis for petaloid androecium remains unclear. In order to get comprehensive transcriptome data for further studies, RNA-Seq analysis were carried out. Two libraries from flower primordia and differentiated flowers of Canna indica were constructed and sequenced respectively, and totally 118,869 unigenes were assembled. The unigenes were aligned to the protein databases NR, NT, Swiss-Prot, KEGG, COG and GO (e-value<0.00001), and totally 67,299 unigenes were annotated. Our data constitute a preliminary basis for further studies on flower development of Canna indica. The two samples from flower primordium and differentiated flower were sequenced for transcriptome assembly, and gene expression information of the two stages was also obtained from these data.
Project description:An indica rice cultivar FR13A, is widely grown as submergence tolerant variety and can withstand submergence up to two weeks. The tolerance is governed by a major QTL on chromosome 9 and represented as sub1. Recently the gene for sub1 has been mapped and cloned. However, the trait is governed by several QTLs and not by a single gene. To understand the mechanism of submergence tolerance we selected, two indica rice genotypes namely, I) FR13A, a tolerant indica variety and ii) IR24, a susceptible genotype for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under constitutive and submerged conditions at seedling stage. Keywords: Mechanism of submergence tolerance
Project description:An indica rice cultivar IET8585 (Ajaya), resists diverse races of the Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo) pathogen attack, and is often cultivated as bacterial leaf blight (blb) resistant check in India. Earlier we reported a recessive blb resistance gene mapped to the long arm of chromosome 5 in IET8585. To further understand the mechanism of recessive and durable resistance response, two indica rice genotypes namely, i) IET8585 (Ajaya), a disease resistant indica veriety from India and ii) IR24, a bacterial leaf blight disease susceptible genotype were selected for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under inoculated and un-inoculated conditions during seedling stage. Keywords: Bacterial leaf blight disease resistance mechanism
