Project description:Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease of cereal crops caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum (Fg). FHB affects the flowering heads (or spikes) and developing seeds. This study compare the gene expression profile in wheat spikelets (spk 2) inoculated with either water (mock treatment) or a pathogenic strain of Fusarium graminearum (WT); spikelets 2 were inoculated 24 hrs after a neighbour spikelet (spk 0) was treated with either water or F. graminerum mutant strain Tri6Δ or NoxABΔ. Spikelets 2 were sampled 8 and 24 hrs after the second treatment.
Project description:To investigate the virological properties of SARS-CoV-2 variants, we amplified the clinical isolates of an early pandemic D614G-bearing isolate (B.1.1 lineage, strain TKYE610670; GISAID ID: EPI_ISL_479681), a Delta isolate (B.1.617.2 lineage, strain TKYTK1734; GISAID ID: EPI_ISL_2378732) and an Omicron isolate (BA.1 lineage, strain TY38-873; GISAID ID: EPI_ISL_7418017) and prepared the working viruses.
