Project description:Goals: Comparing the infection between Ustilago maydis SG200 with the wild-type strain FB1xFB2 previously published Methods: Comparative RNASeq analysis between U. maydis SG200 and U. maydis FB1xFB2 at three timepoints (axenic, 2dpi, 12dpi) Results: The RNASeq analysis in SG200 identifies differences in gene expression with FB1xFB2. These differences could be the result of a unequal contribution of each nuclei to transcription. Further analysis identified a set of differentially transcribed genes.
Project description:Zea mays transcriptome profiling of infected seedlings by the Ustilago maydis wildtype and the seedling specific effector mutant demonstrated the variation of gene expression in the mutant and the classes of genes that are absent in the mutant as compared to the wildtype U. maydis SG200 strain. Two dye competitive hybridizations were performed on Agilent Oligo arrays.
