Project description:The associated files are mass spec data from individual fractions of ion exchange or size exclusion fractionations of native nuclear extract made from broccoli florets (Brassica oleracea var. italica). Ion exchange chromatography was on a concatenated WAX-WAX-CAT column series.
Project description:Gene expression changes during the initial stages of black spot disease caused by Alternaria brassicicola on Brassica oleracea (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba, white cabbage) leaves were investigated with Arabidopsis thaliana oligonucleotide microarrays. Transcriptional profiling of infected B. oleracea leaves revealed that photosynthesis was the most negatively regulated biological process. The negative regulation of 6 photosynthesis-related genes, mainly the genes involved in the photosynthesis light reaction and Calvin cycle, was observed as early as 12 hours post infection (hpi). It progressed through 48-hpi stage, when 44 down-regulated photosynthesis-related genes were detected. The analyses of infected leaves at microscopic, ultrastructural and physiological levels supported the microarray-based observations and indicated that the photosynthetic processes are suppressed in B. oleracea as a result of the fungal infection.
Project description:Transcription profiling of Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea and Brassica napus I and II The nuclear genomes of the resynthesised B. napus lines should be identical but, as one (B. napus I) involved a cross of B. oleracea onto B. rapa, and the other (B. napus II) involved a cross of B rapa onto B. oleracea, they differ in cytoplasm, and hence contain different chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes.
