Project description:Penicillium digitatum is the pathogen of Green mold in Postharvest citrus. After inoculating Penicillium digitatum into the wound of citrus to infect it, transcriptome sequencing was carried out and compared with the results of transcriptome sequencing of Penicillium digitatum before inoculation in order to screen the differentially expressed genes and reveal its infection mechanism.
Project description:Mycotoxins produced by fungal species commonly contaminate livestock feedstuffs. Citrinin (CIT) and ochratoxin A (OTA) are mycotoxins produced by Penicillium spp. and commonly co-occur. Both CIT and OTA can modulate the immune response by inhibiting cell proliferation and differentiation, changing in cell metabolism, or triggering programmed cell death. In this study, we used microarrays to determine the effects of CIT, OTA or both on the bovine macrophage (BoMac) transcriptome.
