To study the expression pattern of OsMOT1;2 during the whole growth period of rice, different tissues and organs of ZH11 were sampled at seedling, tillering, booting, flowering, and grain filling stages. To investigate the expression pattern of OsMOT1;2 under various nutrient-deficient conditions, 1-week-old ZH11 seedlings cultured with half-strength Kimura B nutrient solution were treated with indicated element omitted nutrient solution for another 1 week. Shoots and roots of the seedlings were harvested separately. Samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground into powder using a grinder or mortar. RNA was extracted by a Universal Plant Total RNA Extraction Kit (BioTeke, Wuxi, China). After removing residual DNA contamination, RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using a HiScript II First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China). qRT-PCR was performed to determine the relative expression level using 2 × AceQ qPCR SYBR Green Master Mix (Vazyme, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China).

To verify whether the candidate genes were involved in nodulation, total RNA was extracted with a total RNA extraction reagent (Transgene Biotech Co, Beijing, China). First-strand cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription with the HiScript® II First-strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Vazyme Biotech, Nanjing, China). The qRT-PCR assay was completed with the Roche LightCycler 480 quantitative PCR instrument. The qRT-PCR primers were designed based on the locus information in Phytozome, and GmUKN1 (Glyma.12G020500) was used as a reference gene for normalizing the target gene expression levels (Hu et al., 2009 (link)). The qRT-PCR program was as follows: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 30 s and then 40 cycles of release and an annealing temperature of 58°C for 10 s. The qRT-PCR assay was completed with three biological replicates, each comprising three technical replicates, to increase the accuracy of the data.

To further explore the underlying mechanism of the antibacterial activity of TF1, the RNA expression of cell division and virulent-related genes of SC19 was evaluated. Briefly, SC19 was grown to the mid-log phase. Then, TF1 was added at 512 μg/mL and cocultured at 37 °C for 4 h. Total RNA was reverse transcribed using the HiScript II First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China) following the recommended protocol. Primers were listed in Table 4. The 16S rRNA gene was chosen as the internal control. Fold change >2 and p < 0.05 were used to represent up- or downregulation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
