Project description:To gain a molecular understanding of the loss-of-function mutation of a transcription factor involved in leaf morphogenesis impacts symmetric cuticular wax loading in M. truncatula, we compared the transcript profiles of wild-type R108 and three independent irg1/palm1 homozygous null mutant lines (irg1-1, irg1-2, and irg1-5).
Project description:affy_med_2011_10- Comparison of plant responses upon Aphanomyces euteiches infection in wild type (A17) line and in the lyr3-1 and lyr3-2 mutants
Project description:Legumes interact with soil fungi, leading to the development of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) roots. Diffusible AM fungal signals were identified as sulphated and non-sulphated LCOs (sMyc-LCOs and nsMyc-LCOs). Applying Myc-LCOs on roots of symbiotic mutants, we used GeneChips to detail the global programme of gene expression in these mutants in response to the external application of Myc-LCOs.
Project description:The aim of the experiment was to characterise a P450 monooxygenase mutant involved in the biosynthetic pathway of haemolytic saponins. Saponins are a group of glycosidic compounds with an antimicrobial function. The gene CYP716A12 is responsible for an early step in saponin biosythesis. Transcriptome analysis of a CYP716A12 mutant was performed to investigate its function.
