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.

Project description:af13_plp2 - plp2 botrytis cinerea 2 - Effects of deregulation of a lipid acyl hydrolase gene (PLP2, At2g26560) on global transcriptome upon infection by Botrytis cinerea. This deregulation affects resistance levels against fungal and bacterial pathogens, likely by perturbing the biosynthesis of oxylipins. Oxylipins are fatty acid-derived compounds (example:jasmonic acid) with diverse signaling or antimicrobial properties. - 5000 spores of Botrytis were pipetted on 4 infection sites per ault leaf. Leaf material was harvested at 0 and 2 days later. 3 plant genotypes were used (Col-0 ecotype): siPLP2 (RNAi-silenced),pBIN (empty pBIN-transformed),PLP2OE (PLP2-overexpressors).
Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana mutant wrky33 is highly susceptible to the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Comparing the expression profiles of B. cinerea-infected wrky33 and WT plants we identified 2765 differentially expressed genes dependent on WRKY33, of which 1675 were up-regulated in the mutant (termed WRKY33-repressed genes) and 1090 were down-regulated in the mutant. Combined with ChIP-seq data 318 genes were identified as direct functional targets of WRKY33 at 14 h post inoculation with spores of Botrytis cinerea 2100. Comparison of altered gene expression in Arabidopsis WT and wrky33 mutant plants 14 hours post inoculation with Botrytis cinerea 2100.
Project description:To investigate NUP62 in the regulation of plant defense against Botrytis cinerea , we performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of nup62 mutant and WT arabidopsis with or without Botrytis cinerea infection.
Project description:Tomato fruit ripening is associated with a dramatic increase in susceptibility to the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold. Mature green fruit, prior to ripening, are largely resistant to B. cinerea, whereas red fruit, at the end of ripening, are susceptible to B. cinerea infection. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression changes that are induced by B. cinerea when tomato fruit at unripe and ripe stages are infected. Keywords: plant responses to pathogens
