Project description:The main objective of this analysis was to sequence the epigenome of the Apple (Malus domestica) doubled haploid 'Golden Delicious' tree. Our secondary objective was to identify differentially methylated regions between DNA purified from leaves and young fruits.
Project description:Based on sensorial analysis over 4 years, 6 apple genotypes with contrasted fruit texture (mealy or not) were selected among a progeny. Apple samples were collected at 100 days after flowering (100 DAF), harvest (H), after 2 and 4 months of cold storage (60DAH and 120DAH respectively). 6 apple hybrids were analysed in dye-switch. Biological replicates are fruits from 2 to 4 different harvest years. Each mealy hybrid was compared to a non-mealy hybrid from the same harvest year in 12 dye-swap 3 pairs at 4 four time points).
Project description:Comparison of seed of two different types of developing fruits in apple: central and lateral. Our objective is to find transcriptomic signatures that allow to explain the physiological drop of young lateral fruitlets Apple seeds transcriptomes were generated by deep sequencing by triplicate from seeds collected from central and lateral fruitlets at 20 days after petal fall (DAPF)

Project description:Escherichia coli O157:H7 has caused serious outbreaks of foodborne illness via transmission in a variety of food vehicles, including unpasteurized apple juice, dried salami, and spinach. To understand how this pathogen responds to the multiple stresses of the food environment, we compared global transcription patterns after exposure to apple juice. Transcriptomes of mid-exponential and stationary phase cells were evaluated after 10 minutes in model apple juice (pH3.5) using microarrays probing 4,886 ORFs. Significant changes in gene expression were determined using R/MAANOVA and the Fs test. A total of 331 ORFs were significantly induced upon exposure of cells to model apple juice and included genes involved in the acid and osmotic stress responses as well as the oxidative stress response and envelope stress. Genes involved in the acid and osmotic stress responses, including asr, osmC, osmB, and osmY were significantly induced in response to model apple juice. Genes involved in the envelope stress response, known to be controlled by CpxR (cpxP, degP, and htpX), were significantly induced 2 to 15 fold upon exposure to apple juice, independent of growth phase. Inactivation of CpxRA resulted in a significant decrease in survival of O157:H7 in model apple juice compared to the isogenic parent strain. Of the 331 ORFs induced in model apple juice, 104 are O157-specific ORFs, including those encoding type three secretion effectors espJ, espB, espM2, espL3 and espZ. By elucidating the response of O157:H7 to acidic foods, we hope to gain insights into how this pathogen is able to survive in food matrices and how exposure to foods affects subsequent transmission and virulence.
