Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis to assess the impact of Type III effectors on plant defense responses

ABSTRACT: Our interest lies in how plants respond to bacterial pathogens. Over the past three years we have identified and documented reproducible, landmark biochemical and molecular events following the challenge of Arabidopsis with the phytopathogenic enterobacteria P. syringae. Significantly, our studies revealed 60% of cDNA-AFLP differentials not present on the 8,200 feature GeneChips and 20% absent from public EST databases (de Torres in press). We now seek to exploit this background using carefully defined time-points to analyse global changes in the Arabidopsis transcriptome using challenges selected to define gene targets implicated in (i) expression of basal immunity (ii) the establishment of successful parasitism (resistance) by a virulent pathogen (host). The results will provide a ration
