Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae 9644 (Pss9644) is a causal agent of bacterial cherry canker causing necrotic symptoms on leaves, fruits, gummosis and canker in woody tissues of sweet cherry (Prunus avium). To understand which virulent factor genes were expressed in vitro, Pss9644 was grown in rich media (King's B Broth) and minimum media (hrp-inducing minimum media). The latter mimics the in planta environment.
Project description:To extend our understanding of systemic necrosis in susceptible potato tubers infected with the necrotic strain of Potato virus Y (PVYNTN) gene expression was compared between healthy and infected non-necrotic and necrotic (both non-necrotic and necrotic tissue) potato tubers.
