The total RNA extraction was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the hippocampus was homogenized with 1 mL TRIzol reagent (15596026, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and incubated for 10 min at room temperature (RT). Chloroform (200 µL) was added and mixed by vigorous shaking for 30 s and standing for 10 min at RT. The RNA precipitation was obtained after centrifugation (12,000 rpm for 15 min) and washed once with 75% ethanol. The precipitates were finally dissolved in 20 µL diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) water. A measure of 1 µg of total RNA was used to perform reverse transcription by the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China), and real-time PCR was performed with AceQ Universal SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Vazyme, China) on an ABI7500. The amplification reaction condition was set as follows: denaturation at 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 10 s and annealing/extension at 60 °C for 30 s. The expression of fold changes for target genes was calculated by the 2−ΔΔct method. The primer sequences were listed in Table 1.

Total RNA was extracted from young panicles using the Plant RNA Kit (Tiangen, Beijing, China) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Removal of contaminating genomic DNA and cDNA synthesis were performed using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China). The primers were designed using QuantPrime (http://www.quantprime.de/). qRT-PCR reactions were performed as previously described (Zhou et al. 2018). The rice ATP6 and Actin (Os03g0718100) genes were used as internal controls for normalization of gene expression. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays for WA352 and candidate genes were performed with two biological replicates using SYBR Premix Ex Taq (Vazyme, Nanjing, China) on a CFX96 Real-Time PCR instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Relative gene expression levels were calculated by the 2 ΔΔCt method (Livak and Schmittgen 2001). The names and sequences of the gene-speci c primers are given in Supplemental Table 1.

Total RNA was extracted with an RNA Prep Pure Plant kit (Zomanbio, Beijing, China) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Each RNA sample (1 μg) was reverse-transcribed using the QuantiTect reverse transcription kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China). The real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed using an ABI 7500 system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with the SYBR Premix Ex Taq (Genestar, Beijing, China). Leaves of five-leaf-stage WT and mld1 plants were used to detect the expression of OsMLD1 and several defense marker genes. Two-leaf-stage WT seedling leaves, stems, and roots, as well as the adult flag leaves (1 L), top three leaves (2–4 L), young panicles, and stems, were used for tissue-specific expression analysis of OsMLD1, respectively. All of the experiments were performed with three technical replicates and three biological replicates. The OsACTIN gene in rice was used as an internal control. The sequences of all of the primers used in the study are listed in Table S7. Additionally, the primer information of some genes, including senescence-associated genes and PR genes, was obtained from previous studies [19 (link),22 (link)].

The methylation level of the promoter region of the CAMTA1 gene in 100 IS cases vs. 100 healthy control samples was detected by methyl target region methylation sequencing. MethylTarget™ assays (targeted bisulfite sequencing) developed by Genesky Biotech (Shanghai, China) were carried out as previously described. Briefly, CpG sites adjacent to the promoter region of the CAMTA1 gene were analyzed, and based on these CpG sites, four CpG regions from CpG sites in CAMTA1 were sequenced (the relative distance from the transcriptional start site, amplification primers, and product size of these CpG regions are described in Tables 2, 3). Genomic DNA was converted with bisulfite, and PCR was performed to amplify the targeted DNA sequences. The products were sequenced by an Illumina MiSeq benchtop sequencer (Illumina, CA, United States).
The total RNA was extracted using the Tiangen reagent (Beijing, China, Catalog Number: DP424). Using a QuantiTect Reverse Transcription kit (Vazyme, Wuhan, China, Catalog Number: R333-01), 2 μg of each RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA. Expression levels of the genes were analyzed using a QuantiTect SYBR Green PCR kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China, Catalog Number: Q221-01). The primer sequences are listed below:

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.
