Project description:We identified two effective fungal elicitors, L01 (Guignardia) and J02 (Diaporthe). The two fungal elicitors might activate Taxol biosynthesis by regulating the MYC2a-controlled JA signaling pathway.
Project description:The effects of two years' winter warming on the overall fungal functional gene structure in Alaskan tundra soil were studies by the GeoChip 4.2 Resuts showed that two years' winter warming changed the overall fungal functional gene structure in Alaskan tundra soil.
Project description:RATIONALE: Gathering information about how often fungal infections of the blood occur in patients with cancer or in patients who have undergone stem cell transplant may help doctors learn more about the disease.
PURPOSE: This natural history study is collecting information about fungal infections of the blood over time from patients with cancer or from patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant.
Project description:Amplicon-based fungal metagenomic sequencing for the identification of fungal species in brain tissue from Alzheimer's disease. The study consists in 14 samples, sequenced using Illumina's paired-end technology.
