Expression data from rice inflorescences of osmads32 mutant and wild type

MADS family genes in rice control flowering and inflorescence development. In the early flower stages of plant, MADS-box transcripion factors could form protein-protein interaction complexes with other floral homeotic genes and regulate the expression of downstram genes. OsMADS32 in rice is an important transcription factor in controlling flower development We used microarrays to detail the expression of downstream genes under the control of OsMADS32 during the early inflorescence stages in rice Rice inflorescence in length of 2 mm is the stage for the initiation of inner floral organ development. 2mm inflorescences in length of rice osmads32 mutant were collected in the paddy field with the control of zhonghua 11 wild type at the same development stage in triple repetition, and total RNA were extracted using Trizol method and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Detailed genes with significant expression change between osmads32 and wild type were analysed to obtain downsteam genes of OsMADS32.
