Project description:We performed threefold evolution experiment with tobacco etch potyvirus isolate At17b (TEV-At17b) in five different ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Di-2, Ei-2, Ler-0, St-0, and Wt-1,), that are heterogeneous in their susceptibility to TEV-At17b infection. After the evolution phase, (i) we characterized the fitness and virulence of the evolved lineages across all host ecotypes, (ii) the molecular changes fixed in the viral genomes. Next, we analyzed the transcriptoma of the plants using Agilent Microarray tecnology (i)plants infected with local adapted viral lineage, (ii)plants infected with evolved virus vs. ancestal virus, (iii) virus evolved in new host and infecting its original host, (iv) transcriptoma of most specialized and most generalized viruses infecting all five ecotypes.
Project description:ra03-02_potyvirus - potyvirus - Identification of genes involved in plant/virus interactions. - In this experiment, Arabidopsis plants infected by a virus, Tobacco etch virus (TEV), a potyvirus, were compared with healthy plants to identify genes for which the expression is modified by the viral infection. Analysis of both inoculated leaves and upper young leaves were performed 7 days after the inoculation with the virus (or with only buffer for the healthy plants). Keywords: normal vs disease comparison

Project description:Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis plants infected with the Tobacco etch potyvirus TEV and the evolved TEV-At17, which was generated by serial passes of ancestral TEV in Arabidopsis. Infection with TEV-At17 cause severe symptoms in the plant, compared with the asymptomatic TEV-infection. Keywords: Virus infection
Project description:Agilent 4x44k tobacco micro array of wild type tobacco (WT) and whole tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) containing transgenic tobacco plants. The transgenic plants before resistance break (BRB-6 weeks), after resistance break (ARB-8 weeks) and wild type tobacco plants infected with TMV (TMVi-9weeks) leaves were analyzed. Three biological replicates were performed for each sample.
