Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of LaeA-deletion and overexpression LaeB in LaeA deletion strains in fungus Beauveria bassiana Examination of differential gene expressions by Beauveria bassiana wild type, LaeA-deletion and overexpression LaeB in LaeA deletion strains in fungus Beauveria bassiana
Project description:The ascomycete fungus Beauveria bassiana is a pathogen of hundreds of insect species and is commercially produced as an environmentally friendly mycoinsecticide. Genome-wide insight into the infection of the fungi is critical for genetic improvement of fungal insecticides but has been poorly explored. We constructed three transcriptomes of Beauveria bassiana at 24, 48 and 72 hours post treatment of infection (BbI) and of control (Bbc).
Project description:Ssr4 was experimentally proven to be required for radial growth, aerial conidation, insect infection and virulence-related cellular events in the insect mycopathogen Beauveria bassiana. For in-depth insight into the essential role of Ssr4 in the insect mycopathogen, transcriptomic analysis was carried out via high throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq), resulting in nearly one fourth of the whole genome differentially expressed in the Dssr4 mutant versus wild-type strain.
Project description:Fungal entomopathogens like Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) are known as antagonist of insects with multiple functional and ecological roles and have attracted increased attention as biocontrol agents in integrated pest management programs. A microarray analysis was performed to work out fundamental aspects of genes involved in the interaction between grapevine and the endophytic fungus B. bassiana. The results indicate an up-regulation of diverse defense-related genes in grapevine as a response to a treatment with B. bassiana
