Project description:We profiled small RNAs obtained from B. cinerea-infected Arabidopsis rosette leaves at four different time points after inoculation.
Project description:Here we performed a transcriptomic study on complete symptom development process of CMV-infected Nicotiana tabacum using Solexa/Illumina's high-throughput digital gene expression (DGE) system. 12 DGE libraries (from six virus-infected samples and six corresponding mock-inoculated samples) were constructed, and the gene expression variations between the virus-infected sample and the mock-inoculated sample in each symptom stage were compared. Thousands of differentially expressed genes were obtained by the comparison, and KEGG pathway analysis of these genes suggested that many biological processes (such as phtosynthesis, pigment metabolism and plant-pathogen interaction) were related to the symptom development. The authenticity of the DGE data was further confirmed by analyzing real-time RT-PCR using several random-selected genes. We sequenced a cDNA library constructed from mixture of total RNA from six virus-infected samples and six mock-inoculated samples to get gene information for tobacco leaves in different symptom stages, including vein clearing, mosaic, severe chlorosis, partial recovery, total recovery and re-mosaic, and 95,916 Unigenes were obtained Tobacco leaves were inoculated by CMV-infected leaf homogenate and healthy leaf homogenate, respectivley. Six time points with different symptom stage were selected, and one virus-infect sample and one mock-inoculated sample were collected at each time. In order to average out variation of different plants, five leaves from five different plants were mixed to prepare every RNA sample. Twelve individual tag libraries of samples (six infected samples and six mock-inoculated samples) were constructed in parallel. For the gene expression analysis, the twelve samples were grouped into six groups, and each group contained a virus-infected sample and a mock-inoculated sample collected at the same time. In each group, the DGE data of virus-infected sample were compared to that of mock-inoculated sample to obtain the gene expression variations. Illumina sequencing of transcripts from virus-infected and mock-inoculated samples to get gene information for tobacco leaves in different symptom stages. In order to get more gene information, the systemically infected leaves and mock-inoculated leaves were harvested at six time points and five leaves from five different plants were collected at each time point. The RNA-Seq analysis provided gene information for mock-inoculated and virus-infected tobacco leaves in different symptom stages.

Project description:Transcriptome sequencing from Nicotiana benthamiana leaves non-infected and infected with Turnip mosaic virus at 6 days post inoculation.
Project description:We profiled small RNAs obtained from B. cinerea-infected Arabidopsis rosette leaves at four different time points after inoculation. Examination of small RNA profiles of B. cinerea-infected Arabidopsis rosette leaves over a time course.
Project description:The expression of 30362 plant genes from uninfected flowers of Boechera stricta, uninfected steam and leaves of B. stricta and infected B. stricta with Puccinia monoica forming pseudoflowers. We hybridized cDNA from each sample to an Arabidopsis thaliana gene expression 4x72K format NimbleGen array (ATH6_60mer_expr).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis leaves comparing mock-treated leaves with Botrytis cinerea infected leaves over a time-course (12 and 24 hrs). Two-condition experiment, Mock-treated vs infected leaves. Biological replicates: 5 Mock-treated, 5 infected, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits differential susceptibility to the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea depending on the time of day that infection occurs. We hypothesised that this is driven by teh circadian clock and that differences in the amplitude or speed of the plant defence response will underlie the difference in susceptiblity. A major component of the defence response is transcriptional reprogramming, hence we investigated whether the transcriptional response to B. cinerea infection differs following inoculation at subjective dawn or night (the points of greatest difference in susceptiblity) under constant light conditions.
