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.

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. Experiment Overall Design: We used Agilent rice gene chips (G4138A) to investigate the transcript level changes in rice leaf tissues during bacterial pathogen infection. We used two contrasting rice genotypes (IET8585 (Ajaya) blb resistant IR24 blb susceptible) differing in bacterial disease response. Plants were grown growth chambers and inoculated with bacterial pathogen on 18th DAS. Leaf sampling was done in both un-inoculated and inoculated plants at 3 time points. Two replications of microarray experiments were carried out by hybridizing the resistant samples against the susceptible samples.
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.

Cells 2007 24:394-408. Experiment Overall Design: We used Agilent rice gene chips (G4138A) to investigate the transcript level changes in rice leaf tissues during submergence treatment. We used two contrasting rice genotypes (FR13A tolerant and IR24 susceptible) differing in submergence response. Plants were grown in growth chambers and treated by submerging the plants in transparent polythene bags on14th DAS. Leaf sampling was done in both constitutive and treated plants at 3 time points. Two replications of microarray experiments were carried out by hybridizing the RNA from tolerant samples against the susceptible lines.
Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes the bacterial leaf blight of rice, which leads to as much as 50% yield losses. To understand the landscape of virulence mechanisms, we constructed in planta transcriptional profiling of Xoo KACC10331 using RNA-seq. Three in planta transcriptome of Xoo KACC10331 derived from infected rice leafs were compared to three in vitro data from rich media. To obtain differentially expressed genes, we used the DEGseq package with MA-plot-based method in the R statistical environment and identified 2,094 transcripts that were significantly altered.
Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a rice pathogen causing bacterial blight, which outbreaks in most rice cultivating countries and reduces yield up to 50% due to no effective pesticide. Urgent responses of Xoo upon the initial contacts with rice at infection site are essential for pathogenesis. We studied the time-resolved gene expression of both transcriptome and proteome in the pathogenicity-activated Xoo cells with an in vitro assay system. Genes related to cell mobility, inorganic ion transport and effectors are early response genes to help Xoo cells invade into damaged rice leaf tissues, obtain rare cofactors, and evade rice immune responses. Although the time-resolved gene expression pattern of Xoo is conserved in both mRNA and protein, there are varied time gaps in genes between the expression peaks of mRNA and protein, which implies there is an additional translational selection step of specific mRNAs for rapid translation. The expression pattern of genes from a polycistronic mRNA in the same gene cluster is strictly conserved. The time-resolved gene expression study of Xoo in both transcriptome and proteome provides a valuable information about the pathogenic responses of Xoo at the initial stage of Xoo-rice interaction.
Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the causative agent of bacterial blight disease, is one of the major threats to rice productivity. Yet, the molecular mechanism of rice-Xoo interaction is elusive. Here, we report comparative proteome profiles of Xoo susceptible (Dongjin) and resistant (Hwayeong) cultivars of rice in response to two-time points (3 and 6 days) of Xoo infection. Low-abundance proteins were enriched using a protamine sulfate (PS) precipitation method and isolated proteins were quantified by a label-free quantitative analysis, leading to the identification of 3846 protein groups. Of these, 1128 proteins were significantly changed between mock and Xoo infected plants of Dongjin and Hwayeong cultivars. Based on the abundance pattern and functions of the identified proteins, a total of 23 candidate proteins were shortlisted that potentially participate in plant defense against Xoo in the resistant cultivar. Of these candidate proteins, a mitochondrial arginase-1 showed Hwayeong specific abundance and was significantly accumulated following Xoo inoculation. Overexpression of arginase-1 in susceptible rice cultivar (Dongjin) resulted in enhanced tolerance against Xoo as compared to the wild-type (WT). In addition, expression analysis of defense-related genes encoding PR1, glucanase I, and chitinase II by qRT-PCR showed their enhanced expression in the overexpression lines as compared to WT. Mitochondrial localization of the selected arginase was further confirmed by fluorescent microscopy using GFP-tagged arginase. Taken together, our results uncover the proteome changes in the rice cultivars and highlight the functions of arginase in plant defense against Xoo.

Project description:Rice seedlings at 3-leaf stage were used for expression analysis in control and cold stressed (incloudling cold treatment for 3, 24hrs and recovery from cold stress for 24hrs) samples. Samples of shoots and roots from biological replicates of both genotypes were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Phalanx Rice OneArrayM-oM-<M- v1. Control and treated biological replicates of cold-tolerant cultivar TNG67 (japonica) and cold-sensitive cultivar TCN1 (indica) were analyzed
