Project description:This study used with RNA-Seq to examine the tissue specific expression data within sorghum plants for improving the Sorghum bicolor gene annotation. We examined the RNA from tissues (spikelet, seed and stem) in Sorghum bicolor (BTx623).Total RNAs form each tissues were extracted using SDS/phenol method followed by LiCl purification
Project description:This study utilized next generation sequencing technology (RNA-Seq and BS-Seq) to examine the transcriptome and methylome of various tissues within sorghum plants with the ultimate goal of improving the Sorghum bicolor annotation We examined the mRNA of various Sorghum bicolor (BTx623) tissues (flowers, vegitative and floral meristems, embryos, roots and shoots) and bisulfite treated DNA from two root samples
Project description:Sorghum plants (Btx623 background) were grown in a glasshouse between March and May 2014. At panicle emergence, two biological replicates of flag leaf tissue and two biological replicates of emerging panicle tissue were harvested and used for RNA extraction. Btx623 is a non-shattering Sorghum accession, thus in the future we would like to add additional samples from accessions with varying degrees of seed shattering. This dataset will be useful for future comparisons of 1) shattering individuals at these stages and 2) additional flowering developmental time points in a variety of accessions (http://www.rnaseqforthenextgeneration.org/profiles/carrie-thurber.html#research)
Project description:Comparative RNA-seq analysis of MAMP triggered gene expression in two sorghum bicolor lines, BTx623 and SC155-14E, revealed a clear transcriptional response to elicitation with the microbe associated molecular pattern (MAMPs) flagellin (flg22) or chitin elicitation.
Project description:This experiment contains the subset of data corresponding to sorghum RNA-Seq data from experiment E-GEOD-50464 (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-50464/), which goal is to examine the transcriptome of various Sorghum bicolor (BTx623) tissues: flowers, vegetative and floral meristems, embryos, roots and shoots. Thus, we expanded the existing transcriptome atlas for sorghum by conducting RNA-Seq analysis on meristematic tissues, florets, and embryos, and these data sets have been used to improve on the existing community structural annotations.
Project description:We selected 11 tissues from sorghum reference genome line BTX623 for comparative study between Maize and sorghum. These 11 tissues were selected at different development stages at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory upland farm, RNA were extracted, library was made and sequenced on HiSeq2500 PE125 platform at Woodbury Genome Center.
