Project description:Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici is the cause of wheat stem rust. A microarray was designed from genes predicted from the P. graminis f. sp. tritici genome assembly, and gene expression measured for four conditions which include wheat or barley infecting growth stages initiated by urediniospores. mRNA was prepared from fresh urediniospores, uredinospores germinated for 24 hr, wheat seedlings infected with urediniospores for 8 days, and barley seedlings infected with urediniospores for 8 days. The asexual uredinial infection cycle on wheat produces additional urediniospores, which can start new cycles of wheat infection and are readily spread by aerial transport. This expression data is further described in Duplessis et al, Obligate Biotrophy Features Unraveled by the Genomic Analysis of the Rust Fungi, Melampsora larici-populina and Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici

Project description:The RNA sequencing analysis was undertaken to investigate the transcriptomic changes in adult wheat inoculated with Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici the causal agent of stem rust disease. The project firstly aims to compare gene expression in one susceptible wheat line with two wheat lines exhibiting adult plant resistance to the stem rust. Secondly, the project aims to examine the temporal changes in gene expression in wheat after inoculation. Wheat plants was grown until maturity under greenhouse conditions. Plants were inoculated with Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici and the flag leaf sheath sampled for RNA sequencing. The project aims to give essential insight into the adult plant resistance response in wheat to Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici inoculation.

Project description:Japonica rice cultivar Nipponbare was inoculated with wheat leaf rust (Puccinia triticina f. sp. tritici, non-host pathogen to rice) to compare gene expression profiles with mock-inoculated controls. Although eventually failed in invasion, leaf rust induced a set of rice genes that were distinctally up-regulated, some of those were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR assays.
Project description:This study investigated the transcriptomic response of rice pathogen Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae (Aaa) strain RS-1 to ß-lactam antibiotics in particular Ampicillin (Amp) and the result highlights the importance of Amp-induced differentially expressed genes in the virulence of Aaa strain RS-1.
