Project Title

  • RNA-Seq analysis of differentially expressed genes in rice under varied nitrogen supplies


The Background of This Project

  • Ammonium (NH4 +) and nitrate (NO3 −) are the two main forms of inorganic nitrogen (N) available for plant growth (Chen et al., 1998). In general, ammonium is the preferred nitrogen source for many plant species over nitrate because of its lower energy demand for metabolism.It's reported that ammonium ion is not only the primary nitrogen nutrient for rice growth and development in paddies of tropical Asia(Yu, 1985) but also the chief limiting factor for rice production.
