Project description:Using 21K spruce microarray (that contains 21.8 thousand unique transcripts) we performed analysis of the transcriptome response of interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii) inoculated with the spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) vectored blue stain fungal pathogen Leptographium abietinum or treated with wounding. This microarray analysis revealed large transcriptome reorganization with close to 2000 transcripts (10% of the studied transcriptome) differentially expressed within two weeks of treatment, with the wounding response affecting close to 5% of the interior spruce transcriptome.
Project description:We performed a transcriptome analysis of interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii) bark response to weevil (Pissodes strobi) feeding using 21.8K spruce microarray (that contains 21.8 thousand unique transcripts). This microarray study revealed a large rearrangement of the interior spruce bark transcriptome in response to weevil feeding involving differential expression of close to 20% of the studied transcriptome.
Project description:In past studies the hypothesis of "self-toxicity of natural regeneration barriers of Spruce tianshan" were proposed, and verified that 3, 4-dihydroxyacetophenone (DHAP) contained in litter of Spruce Tianshan was the direct cause of population regeneration barriers.The molecular basis of DHAP-induced autotoxicity was explored through transcriptomic analysis of young roots of spruce tianshan treated with DHAP (3,4 dihydroxyacetophenone).
