Regulation of gene expression by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in stem and root of Sweet orange (Citrus Sinensis)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus infection of citrus is characterized by symptom variability within and among organs. In order to identify molecular processes involved in the regulation of organ response to Ca. Liberibacter infection, the gene expression patterns in C. sinensis leaf, stem, and root was examined in Affymetrix microarray. Our analyses showed that Ca. L. asiaticus reprograms several cellular and metabolic processes in C. sinensis, with most categories regulated in leaves, followed by stems and least in roots. Among them, we identified genes whose expression is regulated in organ-specific manner, reflecting organ specialization in the molecular response to Ca. L. asiaticus. Differences in gene expression were expected between these organs because of functional divergence among them.
