Project description:Sets of small RNAs from strains of Botrytis cinerea isolated from tomato or grapevine were compared to determine whether some small RNAs were specific to a population. The small RNAs were mapped to the retrotransposons identified in Sl3, Vv3 or B05.10 genomes.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Botrytis cinerea wild type conidia during germination in comparison to the bmp1 MAP kinase deletion mutant. A 18 chip study using total RNA recovered from four different time points for the wild-type and one time point for the bmp1 deletion mutant. Each time point was analyzed with three biological replicates. Expression level of 20,885 genes from Botrytis cinerea strain B05.10 and T4 with three 60mer probes per gene was analysed.
Project description:Analysis of the genome-wide DNA methylation pattern of Botrytis cinerea. Results provide new and important information that DNA methylation is critical for pathogenicity and development of Botrytis cinerea by regulating gene expression.
