Using the Plant RNA Kit (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) and following the manufacturer’s instructions, the total RNA was isolated from leaf samples. The qualified total RNA was digested with gDNA Eraser (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) to eliminate genomic DNA. The PrimeScriptTM RT reagent kit (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) was then used to create the first-strand complementary DNA (cDNA) from the treated total RNA. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, qRT-PCR was carried out with a qTOWER3G Real-Time PCR System (Analytik Jena AG, Jena, Germany) using TB Green® Premix Ex Taq™ II reagent (TaKaRa, Dalian, China). The experiment was replicated three times. The rice OsActin gene (LOC_Os03g50885) was used as the internal control. Based on the preceding techniques, the relative expression levels of the target genes were calculated [50 (link)]. The details of each gene-specific primer are presented in Table 1 and were taken from our previous study [38 (link)].

The total RNA of the two groups (WT and wl) was extracted using a Plant RNA Kit (TaKaRa, Tokyo, Japan) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The quality and quantity of the total RNA were assessed at absorbance ratios of OD260/280 and OD260/230 and with 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The replicates were mixed to produce 2 pooled samples for the sequencing analysis. After mRNA-seq libraries were generated using the VAHTS mRNA-seq v2 Library Prep Kit for Illumina (Vazyme, NR601, Nanjing, China) following the manufacturer’s recommendations and the library concentration was measured using the Qubit® RNA Assay Kit in Qubit® 3.0 for preliminary quantification. The insert size was assessed using the Agilent Bioanalysis 2100 system and found to be consistent with expectations; then, the qualified insert size was accurately quantified using qPCR with the StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR system (ABI, Norwalk, CT, USA). The clustering of the index-coded samples was performed on a cBot Cluster Generation System (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After cluster generation, the libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform with the 150 bp paired-end module.

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.
