Transcriptome sequencing of wild-type rice ZH17 and mutant copy1, and genome-wide identification of COPY1 targets in rice
A transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis was performed using young panicles at 1mm and 1cm collected from ZH17 and copy1 plants in order to reveal the molecular mechanisms that underlie COPY1-controlled panicle development. Additionally, a ChIP-seq study was conducted to identify the genome-wide binding patterns of COPY1 and to investigate its role in regulating panicle development in rice.
