RNAseq of 6 day old shoots of 6 rice accessions under WL or WL + supplemental FR (far-red) light
This experiment was designed to uncover the transcriptomic changes that would occur in rice after 24 h of supplemental FR treatment, in an accession dependant manner. To do so, 6 different varieties of rice (IR64, Nipponbare, Luk Takhar, M Blatec, Mudgo, Sabharaj and Zhenshan) were grown in the greenhouse facilities of the Botanical Gardens, Utrecht University, in The Netherlands, in summer and autumn of 2021. After five days in WL (400 µmol m-2 s-1 of combined sunlight and artificial light), the treatment group was exposed to supplemental FR (500 µmol m-2 s-1 FR, R:FR of 0.2) light for 24 hours. The whole shoot was sampled, with four plants pooled in one sample. The experiment was repeated four times, resulting in 48 samples (6 varieties x 2 treatments x 4 replicates). Same samples were run on two individual lanes.
