Project description:Transcriptional profiling of cotton fiber cells from two cotton germplasm lines, MD 52ne and MD 90ne. Comparison of fiber cell transcription profiles is between the two germplasm lines and over a developmental time-course from 8 to 24 days post anthesis in four day intervals. Cotton plants grown in 3-4 row plots of approximately 300-400 individual plants. Bulked fiber samples from multiple plants per each plot represented a biological replication. There were 3-4 spatially distinct plots per cotton germplasm line. Loop microarray hybridization experimental design. Biological replicates: 2 for each germplasm line at each time-point. Technical replicates: 2 for each germplasm line at each time-point (dye-swap).
Project description:We investigated the transcriptional response of invasive B. tabaci B biotype to tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) using Illumina sequencing technology. We found that 1,606 genes involved in 157 biochemical pathways were differentially expressed in the viruliferous whiteflies. Culture of B biotype whitefly was maintained on cotton plants. Three thousands of newly emerged adults of whitefly on cotton were released onto the leaves of healthy and viruliferous tobacco plants. They were allowed to feed for 24 h. After that, non-viruliferous and viruliferous whiteflies were transferred respectively to cotton plants in different cages and allowed to feed for 120 h. Then approximately 1,000 non-viruliferous and viruliferous female adults of whitefly were collected, respectively. The RNA was extracted and sequenced using Illunima Analyzer II.
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.

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:We analyzed the global defense responses in common tobacco against a begomovirus Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus, an invasive whitefly species Middle East-Asia Minor 1, and their co-infestation. The transcripts of defense related genes were both overlapping and divergent in response to virus and whitefly.
