Project description:There is currently little information on which trancription factors control the expression of defence genes in response to herbivory in Arabidopsis thaliana. We performed a whole-genome analysis of Arabidopsis plants after feeding by Spodoptera littoralis larvae. Wild-type and knockout mutants in different insect-inducible transcription factors were either untreated (control plants) or challenged for 8 days with S. littoralis larvae (insect challenged plants).
Project description:Treatment of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Col-0) seedlings with jasmonic acid (JA) elicits long-term induced resistance (IR) against the chewing herbivore Spodoptera littoralis. We used RNA-seq to profile the transcriptional changes associated with this long-lasting JA-IR.
Project description:Treatment of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Col-0) seedlings with jasmonic acid (JA) elicits long-term induced resistance (IR) against the chewing herbivore Spodoptera littoralis. We used whole genome bisulfite-seq to profile the methylome associated with this long-lasting JA-IR.
