“…First-strand cDNA was synthesized by SuperScript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) at 42°C for 1 h. Genomic DNA of the 10 indica (Guangluai 4, 93-11, Teqing, Kasalath, TN1, Liantangzao, Zhefu 802, Nanjing 6, IR36, and Zhaiyeqing 8) and 11 japonica (Nipponbare, Yangguang, Qiuguang, Shiokari, Lansheng, Juangguang, Jinnanfeng, Suyunuo, Nongken 58, Yueguang, and Xueheaizao) varieties was prepared from 2-week-old rice seedling shoots as described (Liu et al, 2007). The genomic DNA of Oryza rufipogon, Oryza barthii, and Oryza longistaminata was provided by Wang Zixuan (Plant Genome Center).…”
