Plants activate an array of defence responses following recognition of pathogenic organisms. This study attempted to characterize at a transcriptional level, the defence responses of Arabidopsis thaliana after infection with Botrytis cinerea using microarrays. Alteration in transcript levels following infection was investigated in time (temporal) and space (spatial). A number of genes were up- and down-regulated specifically at 12 h, others at 24 h while others were up- and down-regulated at bot ...[more]

Project description:A 10 ul drop of B. cinerea spores prepared in half-strength commercial grape juice was placed in the middle of detached Arabidopsis leaves. A cock-borer of 6 mm diameter was used to harvest leaf discs starting from the edge of the lesion (close, 0-6 mm) and the edge of the first disc (away, 6-12 mm) 48 hr after inoculation. Control plants were inoculated with a 10 ul drop of half-strength commercial grape juice with no spores. Three Biological replicates were done of which the third replicate was a dye-swap. In total 12 samples were analyzed. Each array constituted one replicate making six arrays for the whole experiment.

Project description:Transcriptional reprogramming forms a major part of a plant's response to pathogen infection. Many individual components and pathways operating during plant defense have been identified but our knowledge of how these different components interact is still rudimentary. We have generated a high-resolution time series of gene expression profiles from a single Arabidopsis leaf during infection by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen, Botrytis cinerea. Approximately one-third of the Arabidopsis genome is differentially expressed during the first 48 hours after infection, with the majority of gene expression changes occurring before significant lesion development. We have used computational tools to obtain a detailed chronology of the defense response against B. cinerea, highlighting the times at which signaling and metabolic processes change, and identify transcription factor families operating at different times after infection. Motif enrichment and network inference predicted regulatory interactions and testing of one such prediction identified a novel role for TGA3 in defense against necrotrophic pathogens. These data provide an unprecedented level of detail about transcriptional change during a defense response and are suited to systems biology analyses to generate predictive models of the gene regulatory networks underlying the Arabidopsis response to B. cinerea. Samples were compared at three time points: 16, 24 and 32 hours post infection. Time points were chosen based on the expression profile of TGA3 in the high-resolution time series also presented in this paper. Samples were collected for three different conditions: tga3-2 mock inoculated, tga3-2 infected and Col-0 infected. Four individual leaves (biological replicates) from separate plants were collected for each treatment-time point totalling 36 samples. The four biological replicates for each treatment-time point were pooled. At each time point, the expression of the 4 pooled replicates was compared between tga3-2 mock inoculated vs. tga3-2 infected and tga3-2 infected vs. Col-0 infected using four technical replicates for each comparison which included balanced dye swaps.

Project description:A novel experimental design strategy (A Mead et al, in preparation), based on the principle of the M-bM-^@M-^\loop designM-bM-^@M-^], was developed to enable efficient extraction of information about key sample comparisons using a two-colour hybridisation experimental system. With 192 distinct samples (four biological replicates at each of 24 time points in mock and treated conditions) to be compared, the experimental design included 288 two-colour microarray slides, allowing four technical replicates of each sample to be observed. One third of the slides were devoted to assessment of changes in gene expression between time points, using a simple loop design to link samples from time points across the 24 sampled times, directly comparing samples collected on adjacent sampling times (i.e. 2 hrs post-infection with 4 hrs post-infection, 4 hrs post-infection with 6 hrs post-infection, etc.). With the remaining slides, four separate loops were constructed comparing treatments, biological replicates and samplling times. infected vs. mock, 24 time points, randomized loop, 576 Imagene files

Project description:Ontogenic scab resistance in apple leaves and fruits is a horizontal resistance against the plant pathogen VenturiaM- inaequalis and is expressed as decrease of disease symptoms and incidence with the ageing of the leaves. Several studies at biochemical level tried to unveil the nature of this resistance, however without any conclusive results. We decided therefore to investigate the genetic origin of this phenomenon by performing a full quantitative trascriptome sequencing and comparison of young (susceptible) and old (ontogenic resistant) leaves, infected or not with the pathogen. Two time points at 72 and 96 hours post inoculation were chosen for RNA sampling and sequencing. Comparison between the different conditions (young and old leaves, inoculated or not) should allow finding genes differentially expressed which may represent different induced plant defense reaction leading to ontogenic resistance or be the cause for a constitutive (not inoculated with the pathogen) shift toward resistance in old leaves. Differentially expressed genes were then characterized for their function by homology to A.M- thaliana and other plantsM-^R genes, particularly looking for genes involved in pathways already suspected of appertaining to ontogenic resistance in apple or other hosts, or to plant defense mechanisms in general.

Project description:Infection by the pathogen grape powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) causes changes in the transcriptome of its susceptible host Vitis vinifera. Infection triggers the host to synthesize the signaling molecule salicylic acid (SA) which regulates the expression of a broad range of defense-related plant genes. In addition, it is hypothesized that E. necator directly modulates gene expression in V. vinifera via the haustorial complex. This microarray experiment was designed to dissect host transcriptome changes triggered directly by E. necator infection and indirectly through the SA response. We accomplished this by conducting two separate global leaf transcriptome analyses using the Vitis Affymetrix GeneChip platform: in one, we compared the leaves with fully established PM colonies to healthy reference leaves, in another, we compared healthy leaves with artificially elevated SA levels to healthy reference leaves. Overlaying host transcriptome changes from these two experiments enabled us to glean out V. vinifera genes that modulate their expression in response E. necator in an SA-independent manner. We characterized gene expression profiles in (1) healthy reference leaves, (2) leaves with well-established by E. necator colonies, and (3) healthy leaves in which SA levels were artificially elevated by the presence of methyl salicylate (15 µM) in the atmosphere. Treatments (1) and (2) differed only in the presence E. necator infection, whereas treatments (1) and (3) differed only in SA levels. Consequently, statistical comparisons were made only between signal intensities from treatments (1) and (2) and from treatments (1) and (3). Each treatment was done in three biological repeats, that is, each experiment was repeated three times in 14-day intervals with dedicated biological material (plants were used in a single replicate and not reused in another repeat or treatment). Each biological replicate consisted of 10 potted vines. For RNA extraction, two young leaves were harvested from each of the 10 vines and pooled into a single sample.

Project description:The goal of the microarray experiment was to identify defense genes that were differentially expressed in the Arabidopsis mutant elp2 and wild type in response to infection of the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Results indicated that, compared with the wild type, the WRKY33/OCTADECANOID-RESPONSIVE ARABIDOPSIS AP2/ERF59 (ORA59)/ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR1 transcriptional cascades are down-regulated, whereas the MYC2 transcriptional cascade is up-regulated in the elp2 mutant. Three biological replicates with leaves from 8-12 plants per sample were collected at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after inoculation with the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. After extraction, RNA concentration was determined on a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (Thermofisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and sample quality was assessed using the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). Equal amount of RNA from the 3 biological replicates were used for microarray analysis. The channels of the dual-channel arrays were analyzed independently.

Project description:Inoculation of endophyte-free (E-) Theobroma cacao leaves with Colletotrichum tropicale (E+), the dominant foliar fungal endophyte in healthy T. cacao, induced significant changes in the expression of hundreds of host genes. Further, E+ leaves exhibit enhanced pathogen resistance, increased lignin and cellulose content, reduced maximum rates of photosynthesis (Amax), and enrichment of nitrogen-15 and carbon-13 isotopes that all correspond to the changes in expression of specific functional genes in related pathways. Moreover, a cacao gene highly up-regulated in E+ leaves increases pathogen resistance apart from any direct endophyte effects. Thus, benefits of increased pathogen resistance in E+ plants are partially due to enhanced induction of intrinsic host defense pathways, and potential costs include reduced photosynthetic capacity and endophyte metabolism of host tissues. Similar effects are likely to be properties of most plant-endophyte interactions, suggesting general relevance to the design and interpretation of studies of genetic and phenotypic expression in plants. This was a time course experiment, which objective was to assess gene expression changes in leaves of Theobroma cacao due to inoculation with endophyte Colletotrichum tropicale, over a period of two weeks. Three un-inoculated T. cacao leaves (E-) were collected at time 0, just prior to inoculation, and four T. cacao leaves inoculated with C. tropicale (E+) were collected at 3, 7, and 14 dpi, each leaf from a different plant. Sampled leaves were of developmental stage C-D (MejM-CM--a et al. 2012). MejM-CM--a, L.C., Guiltinan, M., J. , Shi, Z., Landherr, L., and Maximova, S., N. (2012).

Project description:affy_xoo_rice - affy_xoo_rice - The Bacterial Leaf Blight disease of rice is due to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. As for many pathogenic bacteria, it relies on a type 3 secretion system that is devoted to the injection of type 3 effectors into the eukaryotic host cell. These proteins are meant to suppress host basal defense responses and/or mimic some host regulatory function promoting bacterial survey in the plant. We are interested in the functional analysis of a subgroup of Xoo T3Es, that are specialized in host cell transcriptome remodelling. These effectors, therefore called TAL for Transcription Activator-Like proteins (also named AvrBs3/PthA-like), are often key virulence factors essential to Xoo pathogenicity such as the effector protein Talc of african Xoo strain BAI3. Our goal is to understand its function during disease development, by identifying rice host genes that are being directly up- or down-regulated by Talc. To that end, we aim at performing Affymetrix transcriptomic analysis, comparing leaf samples of a susceptible rice line inoculated with Xoo to leaves challenged with a Talc-deficient mutant and water-treated leaves. Highly induced genes are likely to be Talc primary targets and therefore potentially good susceptibility gene candidates.-The goal of the experiment is to identify the rice genes up- or down-regulated by the type III effector Talc from Xoo African strain BAI3, upon the inoculation of susceptible rice leaves 24 hours post-infection. To that end, the experimental design includes the inoculation of Nipponbare rice leaves with the virulent Xoo strain BAI3, that will be compared to Nipponbare rice leaves inoculated with a talc K.O. mutant strain and water.

Project description:Solar ultraviolet C（UV-C）radiation reaching the Earth’s surface is little due to the filtering effects of the stratospheric ozone layer. At present, artificial UV-C irradiation is utilized for different biological processes. Grape is a major fruit crop around the world. Research has shown that UV-C irradiation induced the biosynthesis of phenols. However, changes at the molecular level in response to UV-C and leading to these effects are poorly understood. To elucidate the effect of UV-C on expression of genes in grape and the response mechanism, transcript abundance of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) leaves was quantified using the Affymetrix Grape Genome oligonucleotide microarray (15,700 transcripts) Grape leaves were exposed to UV-C irradiation at 6W/m2 for 10 min. LCK-0-1, LCK-0-2 and LCK-0-3 are 0 h after the initiation of treatment and as the controls; LTR-6-1, LTR-6-2 and LTR-6-3 are for 6 h after the initiation of treatment; LTR-12-1, LTR-12-2 and LTR-12-3 are for 12 h after the initiation of treatment. Three replicates for each time point. 9 samples in all.
