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. Experiment Overall Design: Tomato fruit at mature green and red ripe stages were wound inoculated with a water suspension of B. cinerea conidia. Twenty four hours post inoculation fruit pericarp and epicarp tissue around and including the inoculation sites was collected and the total RNA extracted. Total RNA was also collected from healthy and mock inoculated fruit.

Project description:Pepper fruits at four different developmental stages were collected: early fruit [EF; 1 cm long; 7 days after pollination (dap)], mature green fruit (MG; 6-7 cm length; 20 dap), breaking or turning red fruit (BR; fruit are partially red; 35 dap), and red ripe fruit (RR; fully red; 40 dap). Tomato fruits at corresponding developmental stages were also collected: EF (less than 1cm; 7 dap), MG (40 dap), BR (50 dap), and RR (55 dap). For the monitoring of fruit-specific and fruit ripening-related genes, we did array hybridization by using the leaves as a common reference and each corresponding fruit developmental stage sample.

Project description:We performed transcriptome analyses throughout fruit development using the tomato cultivar M82 and its near-isogenic line IL8-3, with interesting and useful traits such as a high content of soluble solids. To identify genes that show differential expression between M82 and IL8-3 fruits, we used a custom microarray containing 43,803 tomato probes. Some genes, such as cell wall invertase and sucrose synthase genes, which are encoded by LIN6 (Solyc10g083290) and TOMSSF (Solyc12g009300) respectively, are well known to play a key role in the sink function of fruit. In this study, the levels of LIN6 and TOMSSF transcripts were higher in IL8-3 than in M82 fruit at 20 and 30 DAF, which are developmental stages for starch accumulation and increased hexose content, respectively, in IL8-3 fruit (Ikeda et al. 2013), and decreased to the level of M82 at ripening stage. Similar patterns were observed in many metabolites of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway as well as metabolites in starch and sucrose metabolism. Gene expressions during fruit development were analyzed. Three biological replicates were prepared for each stage, and a total of 24 samples were analyzed.

Project description:Colletotrichum coccodes secretes ammonium during germination and colonization of host tissue as a mechanism for dual activation of fungal pathogenicity factors and plant cell death via activation of host NADPH oxidase. Ammonium accumulation during colonization of tomato fruits by C. coccodes induced host nucleus integrity changes and program cell death (PCD). Transcriptome analysis at the leading edge of colonized tissue and ammonium treated tomato fruits revealed 82 and 237 common up-regulated and common down-regulated genes, respectively. The common-up-regulated genes showed over representation of pathogen related (PR) proteins, salicylic acid (SA) dependent and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) related genes and genes related to biotic stress. The down regulated genes showed over representation of Jasmonic acid (JA) dependent genes. Consistent with this observation the direct application of SA enhanced C. coccodes colonization, whereas the application of JA delayed colonization. Candidate genes were selected for QRT-PCR analysis of transcripts in normal and transgenic RBOH antisense plants and showed dependence on RBOH regulation. In all, the results suggest that ammonia accumulation during C. coccodes colonization activates SA and suppress JA pathways through activation of RBOH. The effects of ammonium on the expression of the selected up-and down regulated genes were examined in fruit of different maturation stages. Red, susceptible and green resistant, tomato fruit displayed similar behavior, suggesting that resistance of green fruits to C. coccodes colonization is not modulated by the JA and SA pathways but depends on other factors Ten micrograms of total RNA was processed for the microarray hybridizations using the Affymetrix GeneChip one-cycle target-labeling kit (Affymetrix). The four treatments were: C. coccodes "mat inoculation" compared to a wound control (24 hours after the tomato fruit peel was removed). 5 mM Ammonium treatment in PBS compared to PBS treatments as a control for ammonium treatment, the treatments applied every four hours. Each treatment had a duplicate. The biotinylated complementary RNA was fragmented and hybridized to the GeneChip Tomato Genome Array (10,038 tomato probe sets for more than 9,200 tomato genes). The arrays were washed, stained, and scanned at the biological services (Weizmann institute of science, Rehovot, Israel). CEL files for the Affymetrix microarray data arising from the microarray experiments were analyzed utilizing the Partek genomics software (Downey, 2006).

Project description:Tomato pericarp tissues at three different stages (green, breaker and ripening) of fruit development from both the above genotypes were collected using a sterile surgical blade and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. High quality RNA was extracted from the frozen pericarp tissue using TRI Reagent (Ambion, INC. USA) and pooled at least from three independent samples and treated with DNase-I (QIAGEN GmbH, Germany). RNA cleanup was carried out using RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN GmbH, Germany) and 5ug of total RNA from each sample with three biological replications were reverse-transcribed to double stranded cDNA using the GeneChipR One-Cycle cDNA Synthesis Kit. The biotin-labelled cRNA was made using the GeneChipR IVT Labelling Kit (Affymetrix, CA, USA). 15 ug of cRNA samples was fragmented and was hybridized for 16 hours at 45C to the Affymetrix tomato GeneChip Array (Santa Clara, CA, USA). After washing and staining with R-phycoerythrin streptavidin in a Fluidics Station, using the GenechipR Fluidics Station 450, the arrays were scanned by the GenechipR 3000 Scanner. The chip images were scanned and extracted using default settings and the .CEL files were produced by using the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS 1.2). Samples that passed through various quality checks (data not shown) were normalized with RMA algorithm using GeneSpring GX 10 (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). Probes showing twofold up- or down-regulation (in Log2 transformed values) compared to corresponding control condition were taken only into consideration for further analysis

Project description:Gene-to-gene coexpression analysis is a powerful approach to infer function of uncharacterized genes. To perform non-targeted coexpression analysis of tomato genes, we collected a developmental gene expression dataset using various tissues of tomato plant. Expression data are collected from 24 different tissue types including root, hypocotyl, cotyledon, leaf at different stages, and fruit tissues at 4 different ripening stages from 4 different Solanum lycopersicum cultivars. Fruits were separated to the flesh and the peel. These two tissue types indeed showed remarkably different gene expression profiles. We also collected data from 4 different ripening stages (mature green, yellow, orange, and red) to detail the changes during ripening. By using this gene expression dataset, we calculated pair-wise Pearsonâs correlation coefficients, and performed network-based coexpression analysis. The analysis generated a number of coexpression modules, some of which showed an enrichment of genes associated with specific functional categories. This result will be useful in inferring functions of uncharacterized tomato genes, and in prioritizing genes for further experimental analysis. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Tomato genome Arrays to detail the global gene expression change using 24 different tomato tissue types (67 hybridizations). We collected gene expression data from 24 different tomato tissue types using 67 hybridizations. Root, hypocotyl, cotyledon, and leaf were sampled from 3-week-old or 5-weekâold plant of Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Micro-Tom. Fruit tissues were sampled from S. lycopersicum cultivars Micro-Tom, Anthocyanin fruit (Aft, LA1996), Line27859, and Momotaro 8 (Takii, Japan). From Micro-Tom fruit, the peel and the flesh were separately sampled from 4 different ripening stages: mature green (MG, approximately 30 day after anthesis), yellow (Y, approximately 35 days after anthesis), orange (O, approximately 38-40 days after anthesis), and red (R, approximately 45-48 days after anthesis). From fruits of Aft and Line27859, the peel and the flesh were sampled at mature green (MG, approximately 40 days after anthesis) and red (R, approximately 50-55 days after anthesis) stages. From Momotaro 8, the peel and the flesh were sampled at red (R, 50- approximately 50-55 days after anthesis) stages. For each tissue type, 2-4 biological replicates were made in RNA preparation.

Project description:Our aim was to gather additional evidence of tomato fruit ripening by assessing two long shelf life near isogenic lines (NILs). These two NILs, named NIL115 and NIL080, carried wild introgression provided by S. pimpinellifolium accession LA0722 in the genetic background of Caimanta (CAI) from S. lycopersicum. Pericarp tissue was collected from the four genotypes (NIL115, NIL080, CAI and LA0722) at two ripening stages: mature green (MG) and red ripe (RR). A label-free quantitation (LFQ) proteomic analysis was carried out to identify differentially abundant proteins between MG and RR.

Project description:The steroid hormone brassinosteroids (BRs) play considerable roles in plant development and defence. Harnessing the extensive knowledge on Arabidopsis BR signalling network for improving productivity in crop species requires first to identify the conserved network components and their function in the target species. To investigate the function of SlBIM1a, the tomato closest homolog of AtBIM1, which is highly expressed in the developing fruit, we generated transgenic tomatoes, which overexpress or down-regulate SlBIM1a gene. Main alterations were observed in SlBIM1a overexpressing lines, which displayed a severe plant and fruit dwarfism. To unravel the molecular basis of phenotypical modifications in SlBIM1a overexpressing fruits, a microarray (Agilent) analysis was performed on Pro35S:SlBIM1aOX and WT fruits harvested at 15 DPA.

Project description:The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) MADS-box transcription factor RIN, one of the earliest-acting fruit-ripening regulators, is required for both ethylene-dependent and -independent regulatory pathways for fruit ripeing. Here, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with a DNA microarray (ChIP-chip) for the putative promoters of whole tomato predicted genes (ITAG2) for the genome-wide identification of the direct RIN targets. The ChIP-chip with anti-RIN antibody resulted in detection of 1,046 RIN-binding sites, each of which was assigned a significantly high peak score (FDRM-bM-^IM-$0.05) in at least two of the three biologically independent analyses. Using the information about genomic position of the RIN-binding sites, we found 1,200 genes as potential direct RIN targets that carried one or more RIN-binding sites in the transcription regulatory region (2-kb upstream putative promoter) or in other gene regions, such as exons, introns or a downstream region from the translation termination site (1-kb), where the promoter region of a neighbor gene are overlapped. Three biologically independent samples (chromatin-immunoprecipitated DNA and input DNA) recovered from the ripening tomato fruits.

Project description:Ripening is an important stage of fruit development to determine its quality as a diet. A tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) MADS-box transcription factor, RIPENING INHIBITOR (RIN), has been believed to serve as a regulator of ripening lying upstream of ethylene-dependent and ethylene-independent pathways. Here, we have conducted global gene expression analysis to comprehensively identify tomato genes whose expressions are affected by the rin mutation using microarray with RNA samples from the normal and rin mutant tomato fruits at the pre-ripening (mature green) and ripening (pink coloring) stages. By analysing this microarray data, we identified 342 of positively regulated and 473 negatively regulated genes by RIN, which showed >5 and <0.2 of the fold change ratio (FC) of normal fruits at the ripening stage relative to those at the pre-ripening stage, respectively, in a RIN-dependent manner. A chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis of the normal ripening tomatoes with the anti-RIN antibody revealed that the positively regulated gene set contained at least 13 direct RIN targets. We monitored global gene expression in normal (PK331 cultivar) and rin mutant (PK353 cultivar) tomatoes at the pre-ripening (mature green, G) and ripening (pink coloring, P) stages using microarray with three biological replicates for each sample.
