Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana 4-day-old seedlings were treated with the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Caulobacter RHG1 or the neutral bacteria Bacillus sp. At 12 and 48 hours after treatment, roots were harvested, RNA was extracted and RNA-Seq data were generated. The goal of this experiment was to detect changes at the transcript level that were specific for the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria RHG1.
Project description:Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) induce positive effects in plants, such as increased growth or reduced stress susceptibility. The mechanisms behind PGPR/plant interaction are poorly understood, as most studies have described short- term responses on plants and only a few studies have analyzed plant molecular responses under PGPR colonization. Transcriptional profiles were determined by microarray analysis (Affymetrix ATH1 Genome Array) in Arabidopsis thaliana plants inoculated with the PGPR bacterial model Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN
Project description:Cooperation involving Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria results in improvements of plant growth and health. While pathogenic and symbiotic interactions are known to induce transcriptional changes for genes related to plant defense and development, little is known about the impact of phytostimulating rhizobacteria on plant gene expression. In this context, this study aimed at identifying genes significantly regulated in rice roots upon Azospirillum inoculation, considering possible favored interaction between a strain and its original host cultivar. Genome-wide analyses of root gene expression of Oryza sativa japonica cultivars Cigalon and Nipponbare were performed, by using microarrays, seven days post inoculation with A. lipoferum 4B (isolated from Cigalon roots) or Azospirillum sp. B510 (isolated from Nipponbare) and compared to the respective non-inoculated condition.
Project description:We report the banana transcriptome profile in response to two distinct growth-promoting rhizobacteria, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens. The goal of our study is to identify plant genes differentially regulated by rhizobacteria-plant interaction along time. At the same time, we show that despite these two rhizobacteria regulate distinct sets of genes, the same functional categories has been over-represented, such as transcription factor activity, response to stress and metabolic processes.
