Project description:By sequencing small RNAs from uninfected Arabidopsis roots and from galls seven and 14 days post infection with Meloidogyne incognita, we sequenced by SOLiD technology the RNA fraction below 50nt. We identified 24 miRNAs differentially expressed in gall as putative regulators of gall development.
Project description:We compared the gene expression of wild-type Col-0 and a T-DNA mutant SALK_116381C (opr2-1). We either infected or mock-infected the plants with the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and measured the root transcriptome after 0, 1, 4, and 7 days post infection using RNA-seq. The aim of the experiment was to determine whether opr2-1 affected gene expression patterns induced by nematode infection.
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare the methylation state of galls formed in Arabidopsis roots infected by Meloidogyne javanica at 14 days post infection compared to uninfected root segments (RC).
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare the methylation state of galls formed in Arabidopsis roots infected by Meloidogyne javanica at 3 days post infection compared to uninfected root segments (RC).
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptome profilling (RNA-seq) of galls (G) formed in Arabidopsis roots infected by Meloidogyne javanica at 3 days post infection compared to uninfected root segments (RC).
Project description:High-coverage whole genome sequencing of 11 Brazilian isolates of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, presenting different host plant preferences and different geographical origins. Four M. incognita host races had been proposed in the past, based on host (in)compatibility on four different plant strains. The objective was to assess whether genomic variations (SNP) correlate with host range compatibility, geographical origin and host plant of origin.
Project description:Solanum torvum Sw is worldwide employed as rootstock for eggplant cultivation because of its vigour and resistance/tolerance to the most serious soil-borne diseasesas bacterial, fungal wilts and root-knot nematodes. A 30,0000 features custom combimatrix chip was designed and microarray hybridizations were conducted for both control and 14 dpi (day post inoculation) with Meloidogyne incognita-infected roots samples. We also tested the chip with samples from the phylogenetically-related nematode-susceptible eggplant species Solanum melongena.The genes identified from S. torvum catalogue, bearing high homology to knownnematode resistance genes, were further investigated in view of their potential role in the nematode resistance mechanism. total RNA was extracted from control and 14 days post-infection (infection with root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita) from roots of Solanum torvum and Solanum melongena. Three biological replicates were used for each condition and genotype for a total of 12 samples.
