Project description:Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a serious seed/soil borne disease that causes severe yield and quality losses in many plants. In order to understand the change in genome expression of inculated plants, microarray analysis were performed. Twenty one days old roots of Arabidopsis Col-0 were inoculated with Ralstonia solanacearum race 4 @ 10^9 & 10^8 cfu/ml in different plants, distil water were mock inoculated, after five days plants were taken for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Plants were incubated in growth chamber for disease development, temperature and humidity were maintained as per plant requirement for both treated and control plants.
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown from seeds. Roots of 7 day old plants were inoculated with L. bicolor. After 2 days, leaves were harvested, shock frozen in liquid nitrogen and prepared for RNA extraction
Project description:Analysis of cell specific gene expression in mycorrhizal rice roots. Described in Roth, Chiapello et al. 2019 We used LCM to harvest arbusculated and adjacent systemic cells from mycorrhizal rice roots, along with cortical cells from mock inoculated plants
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown from seeds. Roots of 9 day old plants were inoculated with L. bicolor. After 4 weeks, two T. ni larvae per plant fed for 24 h. Leaves were subsequently harvested, shock frozen in liquid nitrogen and prepared for RNA extraction
Project description:ra03-05_clubroot - club root response - Characterisation of the transcriptional changes (host genes up- and down-regulated) during the P. brassicae / A. thaliana interaction. - The objective of the study was to identify the genes up and down-regulated during the interaction of P. brassicae with a partial resistant genotype of Arabidopsis. The transcriptome pattern of inoculated and non-inoculated plants of Arabidopsis was compared at three time points after inoculation (24 hours, 48 hours and one-week ai). Sixty plants were studied by comparison (inoculated-non inoculated) and by kinetic point. RNAs of the 30 inoculated plants and the RNAs of the 30 non-inoculated plants were pooled to eliminate variability between individual plants and thus to target for genes for which differences in expression were linked to the inoculation by the pathogen. Five comparisons have been performed: inoculated-non inoculated at 24 hours ai; inoculated-non inoculated 48 hours ai; inoculated-non inoculated one-week ai; inoculated 24h ai-inoculated 48h ai; inoculated 48h ai- inoculated one-week ai. The entire experiment was repeated (biological repetition) and each comparison was performed in two independent hybridisations (technical repetition).
