Project description:Most proteogenomic approaches for mapping single amino acid polymorphisms (SAPs) require construction of a sample-specific database containing protein variants predicted from the next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. We present a new strategy for direct SAP detection without relying on NGS data. Among the 348 putative SAP peptides identified in an industrial yeast strain, 85.6% of SAP sites were validated by genomic sequencing.
Project description:Non coding RNA (ncRNA), such as miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA, has been found to play an important role in the mechanism of plant defense against pathogens. Lychee downy blingt is the main disease of litchi fruit, inflorescence and leaf, which seriously affects the yield of lychee. In this study, we carried out a P.litchii infection experiment on lychee fruits and leaves, and the mRNA and ncRNA in the treated fruits and leaves were analyzed by whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing technology. our work will Provide new insights for the resistance of lychee downy blight .
Project description:Grapevine downy mildew is an important disease affecting crop production and causing severe losses. To identify genotype-dependent responses towards this pathogen and to explore the molecular mechanisms involved in grapevine-P. viticola resistance, we have conducted a proteomic analysis of leaf samples from resistant and susceptible grapevine genotypes prior and post-inoculation with the pathogen. Proteins were analyzed by quantitative two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). The analysis able to identified 50 unique proteins. Functional analysis showed that photosynthesis and metabolism were the main categories differentiating genotypes at 0h and that P. viticola-responsive proteins were mainly involved in photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, stress and defense responses and redox homeostasis. ROS production, total antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation on both genotypes were determined and together with the proteome data suggest that Regent presents a strict balance between ROS control and signaling leading to plant cell death activation. Our data reveals the genotype-dependent modulation of plant metabolism and defense responses providing new insights into underlying molecular processes of grapevine resistance against the downy mildew fungus.
