Physiological and transcriptional responses to low-temperature stress in rice genotypes at the reproductive stage

Abstract

Rice growth and productivity is adversely affected by low-temperature stress. From a previous screen of diverse rice genotypes for cold tolerance parameters at the vegetative stage, we selected the tolerant Nipponbare and M202 genotypes and sensitive Cypress and Secano do Brazil genotypes for further analysis at the reproductive stage for physiological and yield parameters. Cold stress severely affected grain yield as estimated by the number of grain per panicle, panicle length, and 100 seed weight. Analysis of gene expression of 21 genes involved in physiological responses to low temperature tested, in the flag leaf and inflorescence tissue of these genotypes, showed an increased expression of the Lipid Transfer Protein genes LTP7 and LTP10 in flag leaf tissue of the tolerant Nipponbare and M202, along with a significant increase in the relative expression of stress-responsive transcription factors (TFs) and cold-inducible genes. In flag leaf tissue OsNAC9, OsNAC10 and OsNAP genes showed high correlation with photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration and Quantum Efficiency of PSII. In consequence of the foregoing results, we conclude that Nipponbare and M202 are cold tolerant genotypes and that LTP7, LTP10, OsNAC9, O...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
