Project Summary
RNA expression profiling
- RNA expression profiling
- Developing earshoots
- Leaf and seed tissues during grain-fill
Genetic mapping of phenotypes associated with NUE
- Agronomic traits (biomass, N accumulation and partitioning)
- Metabolites (nitrate, amino acids)
- Gene expression (eQTL)/enzyme activities (aQTL)
Candidate gene validation
- Coincidence among QTL and differentially expressed genes.
- Functional testing of genes
