Project description:The aim of the project is to decipher the role of DNA methylation in the plant pathogenic bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum during host adaptation. As a first step, we present here the DNA methylation profile of the GMI1000 reference strain.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, strain GMI1000 at 20°C and 28°C in culture and in planta. The tropical strain GMI1000 cannot wilt tomato plants at 20°C although it can cause full-blown disease at 28°C. A 16 array study using total RNA recovered from the following: 8 separate cultures of Ralstonia solanacearum strain GMI1000 grown in rich medium-CPG (4 grown at 20°C and 4 grown at 28°C) 8 separate in planta samples of Ralstonia solanacearum strain GMI1000 harvested from diseased tomato plants cv. BonnyBest (4 recovered from plants grown at 20°C and 4 from plants grown at 28°C) Each array (4-plex format) measures the expression level of 5061 genes from Ralstonia solanacearum strain GMI1000 with 2 to 6, 40-70 mer probes per gene, with two-fold technical redundancy. The arrays also contain probes for intergenic regions with no technical replicates.

Project description:Microarray analysis was performed on the aerial parts of 5 plants collected 24 hours after water treatment or inoculation by the Ralstonia solanacearum hrpB strain (avirulent strain) and 5 days (25% of wilted leaves) after challenge inoculation with the GMI1000 virulent R. solanacearum strain. We compared trancriptome expression level of protected plants (hrpB prinoculation) versus non protected plants (water treatment), 24H after treatment and 5 days (25% of wilted leaves) after challenge inoculation with the GMI1000 virulent R. solanacearum strain
Project description:Arabidopsis plants were challenged with Ralstonia solanacearum isolate BCCF401 and expression profiles investigated during early and late wilt symptom development. Keywords: Disease state analysis
