Comprehensive illustration of transcriptomic and proteomic dataset for mitigation of arsenic toxicity in rice (Oryza sativa L.) by microbial consortium

Abstract

The present article represents the data for analysis of microbial consortium (P.putida+C.vulgaris) mediated amelioration of arsenic toxicity in rice plant. In the current study the transcriptome profiling of treated rice root and shoot was performed by illumina sequencing (Platform 2000). To process the reads and to analyse differential gene expression, Fastxtoolkit, NGSQCtoolkit, Bowtie 2 (version 2.1.0), Tophat program (version 2.0.8), Cufflinks and Cuffdiff programs were used. For Proteome profiling, total soluble proteins in shoot of rice plant among different treatments were extracted and separated by 2D poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and then proteins were identified with the help of MALDI-TOF/TOF. In gel based method of protein identification, the isoelectric focusing machine (IPGphor system,Bio-Rad USA), gel unit (SDS-PAGE) and MALDI-TOF/TOF (4800 proteomic analyzer Applied Biosystem, USA) were used for successful separation and positive identification of proteins. To check the differential abundance of proteins among different treatments, PDQuest software was used for data analysis. For protein identification, Mascot search engine (http://www.matrixscience.com) using NCBIprot/SwissProt databases of rice was used. The analyzed data inferred comprehensive picture of key genes and their respective proteins involved in microbial consortium mediated improved plant growth and amelioration of As induced phyto-toxicity in rice.
