Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To study the consequences of transcription factor pp-1 deletion during vegetative cell fusion, we sequenced mRNA of WT and Δpp-1 conidia during a period of intense germling fusion activity .

Project description:To study the consequences of transcription factor pp-1 deletion during vegetative cell fusion, we performed whole genome microarrays of WT and Δpp-1 conidia during their initial growth period (3h - 8h).
Project description:To study the consequences of transcription factor pp-1 deletion during vegetative cell fusion, we performed whole genome microarrays of WT and ?pp-1 conidia during their initial growth period (3h - 8h). The WT (FGSC2489) and ?pp1 strains were analyzed at five different timepoints. Cy3 and Cy5 dye swaps were performed.
Project description:Conidia germination is critical for fungi to colonize various habitats. We sampled RNA expression at four stages of conidia germination, including fresh conidia (15min), polar growth (120min), doubling of long axis (240min), and first hyphal branching (360min) in Neurospora crassa. Cultures were made onPDA, iand two biological replicates were collected for all data points. The growth was under a labratory condition of 25C and constant light.

We sampled RNA expression at four stages of conidia germination, including fresh conidia (15min), polar growth (120min), doubling of long axis (240min), and first hyphal branching (360min) in Neurospora crassa. Cultures were made on two different media, including Bird medium supporting only asexual development and maple sap medium supporting both asexual and sexual development, and two biological replicates were collected for all data points. The growth was under a labratory condition of 25C and constant light.

Project description:Conidia of Aspergillus niger are characterized by a dormant state and are moderate stress-resistant. Upon contact with a moist substrate, germination of conidia occurs by changing from a dormant stabilized state towards a growing vegetative cell. The RNA expression levels of dormant conidia and conidia that were in various stages of germination were studied. The RNA composition of dormant conidia was substantially different than all the subsequent stages of germination. This indicates that the distinct morphological changes that occur during germination are not correlated with the highest change in the transcriptome.

Samples of germinating conidia of Aspergillus niger N402 were taken in triple at 0h (dormant), 2h, 4h, 6h and 8h after inoculation in CM.
Project description:To study the consequences of MAK-2 activity modulation during vegetative cell fusion, we took advantage of a previously constructed allele of MAK-2 (MAK-2Q100G) to specifically perturb kinase signaling during germling vegetative cell fusion (inhibition of MAK-2Q100G activity by addition of the ATP analog 1NM-PP1 results in a phenotype indistinguishable from mak-2 deletion strains). Whole genome microarrays of mak-2Q100G cells following 20 min 1NM-PP1 treatment were performed.
