Project description:Species from the genus Colletotrichum are the causal agents of anthracnose which contribute to significant losses to the production of commercially grown crops. The genomes of Colletotrichum orbiculare, which infects cucurbits and Nicotiana benthamiana, as well as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, which infects a wide range of fruits and vegetables, were sequenced. A custom microarray was designed for Colletotrichum orbiculare and used to assess gene expression during infection of Nicotiana benthamiana. Gene expression of Colletotrichum orbiculare growing on its host Nicotiana benthamiana was assessed at 24 hours post inoculation, 3 days post inoculation and 7 days post inoculation. Mycelia growing in vitro and ungerminated conidia were used as controls. Three replicates were performed for each time point.
Project description:Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to identify genes changed in ginseng upon Colletotrichum panacicola infection. The goal of the work is to find interesting genes involved in ginseng in response to fungi induction. The object is to reveal the molecular mechanism of ginseng disease development caused by Colletotrichum panacicola.
Project description:The objective of this study was on the one hand to compare the transcriptional dynamics of mutualistic Colletotrichum tofieldiae and pathogenic Colletotrichum incanum during colonization of Arabidopsis roots and on the other hand also examine the corresponding host responses Arabidopsis seeds that were either untreated (mock) or inoculated with Colletotrichum tofieldiae (isolate 0861) or Colletotrichum incanum (isolate MAFF230704) were grown in normal (P+) or low (P-) phosphate conditions. Roots (with/without fungal colonization) were collected at 6, 10, 16, and 24 days post inoculation (dpi). Additionally, C. tofieldiae and C. incanum in vitro hyphae were collected after two days growth in liquid Mathurâs medium. For each condition three replicates were obtained.

Project description:Next generation sequencing was performed to identify genes changed in Colletotrichum camelllae upon infection tea plants. The goal of the work is to find interesting genes involved in fungal virulence. The object is to reveal the molecular mechanism of funal virulence.
