Project description:Upon virus infections, the transcriptomic profile of host plants markedly changes. The rapid and comprehensive transcriptional reprogramming is critical to ward off virus attack. To learn more about transcriptional reprogramming in tobamovirus-infected pepper leaves, we carried out transcriptome-wide RNA-Seq analyses of pepper leaves following Obuda pepper virus (ObPV) and Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV)-inoculations.
Project description:We report transcripts from tomato:tomato and pepper:pepper self-grafts, and tomato:pepper and pepper:tomato hetergrafts over 4 time points: 24 hours after grafting, 3 days after grafting, 5 day after grafting, and 2 weeks after grafting Examination of 4 graft combinations over 4 time points
Project description:A comparative study to determine the pepper leaf curl virus resistance machanism between resistant and susceptible genotypes at three leaf stage. To study the molecular mechanism of pepper leaf curl virus (PepLCV) resistance, pepper plants were exposed to PepLCV through artificial inoculation and hybridization on Agilent tomato microarrays. The expression analysis of PepLCV resistant and susceptible genotypes after artificial inoculation at three leaf stage showed that the resistance against PepLCV is due to sum of expression of hundreds of genes at a particular stage.
Project description:Aster yellows phytoplasma strain Hyd35 (16SrI-B) in micropropagated periwinkle shoots in collection was used to produce infected plants in pots that were separated according to the diverse symptomatology i.e. phyllody and witches’ broom. Small RNA high-throughput sequencing (HTS) was then used to determine the small RNA pattern of these plants. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of expression changes of different miRNA classes and the presence of phytoplasma derived small RNAs. These results could complement previous studies and serve as a starting point for small RNA omics in phytoplasma research
Project description:To facilitate the functional annotation of the pepper genome, analysis of miRNAs was performed for the sequenced data from five small RNA libraries described above, representing five different tissues. Starting with a set of 5,436 plant mature miRNA sequences available in miRBase, we annotated with high confidence 176 pepper miRNAs from 64 families, of which 30 families are computationally predicted to target TFs, suggesting important roles of these miRNA families in post-transcriptional gene regulation and transcription networks consistent with previous findings.

To study the molecular mechanism of pepper leaf curl virus (PepLCV) resistance, pepper plants were exposed to PepLCV through artificial inoculation and hybridization on Agilent tomato microarrays. The expression analysis of PepLCV resistant and susceptible genotypes after artificial inoculation at three leaf stage showed that the resistance against PepLCV is due to sum of expression of hundreds of genes at a particular stage. Tomato microarrays consisting of 43,803 probes were used for whole genome expression analysis of chilli peppers for resistance against PepLCV. Transcripts from the leaves of resistant (BS-35) and susceptible plants (IVPBC-535) were compared in response to PepLCV inoculation at three leaf stage.
Project description:To facilitate the functional annotation of the pepper genome, we generated 90.84 Gb of RNA-Seq data from 33 libraries representing all major tissue types and developmental stages of Zunla 1, as well as fruits from other accessions with significant phenotypic differences.
