Project description:RNA sequencing in tomato for detect mRNA expression of Solanum lycopersicum Axillary bud.The two cultivars (monomaker, raceme) at Axillary bud for transcriptome sequencing
Project description:RNA sequencing in tomato for detect mRNA expression of Solanum lycopersicum flower.The two cultivars (monomaker, raceme) had three different flowering stages (budlet, Flower bud, Full bloom) for transcriptome sequencing
Project description:Solanum lycopersicum RNA degradome sequencing Isolated polyadenylated RNA from total RNA extracts of Solanum lycopersicum, were ligated to 5'-adapter that includes an MmeI recognition site. The ligated products were purified again, reverse transcribed and cleaved with MmeI. The 5' fragments were purified from gel and ligated to a 3'- dsDNA adapter and PCR amplified. After PCR amplification the sample was subjected to Solexa/Illumina high throughput pyrosequencing. Please see www.illumina.com for details of the sequencing technology.
Project description:Ralstonia solanacearum causes disease in more than 200 plant species including bacterial wilt of tomatoes and brown rot of potatoes. This bacterium is a soilborne and waterborne pathogen, with a worldwide distribution and is on the EPPO A2 list of quarantine pathogens. ln the UK, the bacterium is present in the rivers, but its prevalence depends on the season; it is highly abundant in the summer and undetectable during winter. To survive the cold winter temperatures, R. solanacearum overwinters inside plants growing alongside the rivers such as Solanum dulcamara. Interestingly, this plant species doesn’t show bacterial wilt symptoms. To understand genomic differences with susceptible hosts, we assembled the genome using Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina sequencing.
Project description:Solanum torvum Sw is worldwide employed as rootstock for eggplant cultivation because of its vigour and resistance/tolerance to the most serious soil-borne diseasesas bacterial, fungal wilts and root-knot nematodes. A 30,0000 features custom combimatrix chip was designed and microarray hybridizations were conducted for both control and 14 dpi (day post inoculation) with Meloidogyne incognita-infected roots samples. We also tested the chip with samples from the phylogenetically-related nematode-susceptible eggplant species Solanum melongena.The genes identified from S. torvum catalogue, bearing high homology to knownnematode resistance genes, were further investigated in view of their potential role in the nematode resistance mechanism. total RNA was extracted from control and 14 days post-infection (infection with root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita) from roots of Solanum torvum and Solanum melongena. Three biological replicates were used for each condition and genotype for a total of 12 samples.
