Project description:We used three different strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 to investigate systemic responses to infection in Arabidopsis and the development of SAR. Wildtype DC3000, the hrpA mutant and DC3000 carrying the avirulence gene avrRpm1 were syringe infiltrated into 4-week-old plants at a concentration of 10e8 cfu/ml. At least 5 leaves per plant were infiltrated and at least 10 plants were pooled for each sample. Systemic, uninfected tissue was then harvested at 8, 12 and 21h after inoculation. Three independent experiments were carried out to give three biological replicates for each timepoint. 27 samples were used in this experiment.

Project description:We performed RNA sequencing of mock-inoculated and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000-infected A. thaliana (Col-0 accession) plants at normal (23C) and elevated (30C) temperatures. 4-week-old Col-0 plants were pre-incubated at 23C and 30C for 48h and then leaves were syringe-infiltrated with either mock (MgCl2) or DC3000 bacterial inoculum. Plants were incubated at their respective temperatures (23C or 30C) for another 24h post-inoculation before tissue collection for RNA extraction. RNA samples for submitted for RNA sequencing and we found different clusters of DC3000-regulated genes that were downregulated, upregulated and unchanged at elevated temperature. Temperature-downregulated DC3000-induced genes were enriched for a whole suite of defense-related genes, including those essential for host salicylic acid (defense hormone) biosynthesis and accumulation.
Project description:Pathogens target phytohormone signalling pathways to promote disease. Plants deploy salicylic acid (SA) mediated defences against biotrophs. Pathogens antagonise SA immunity by activating jasmonate signalling, e.g. Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 produces coronatine (COR), a jasmonate (JA) mimic. This study found unexpected dynamics between SA, JA and COR and co-operation between JAZ jasmonate repressor proteins during DC3000 infection. JA did not accumulate until late in the infection process and was higher in leaves challenged with coronatine deficient P. syringae or in the more resistant JA receptor mutant coi1. JAZ regulation was complex and coronatine alone was insufficient to sustainably induce JAZs. RNA was extracted from leaves of wild type Col-0 or the jaz5/10 mutant plants from leaves 6, 8, 12 or 16 hours after challenged with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000.
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) plants were treated with BABA and gene expression differences to control plants were monitored after dip-inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000. Keywords: transcript profiling, response to BABA-induced priming and infection
Project description:This study investigates extent and functional significance of alternative splicing in Arabidopsis thaliana defense against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato (Pst). We have provided a detailed characterization of the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptional response to Pseudomonas syringae infection in both susceptible and resistant hosts. We carried out two independent inoculation experiments (biological replicates) for each treatment. Col-0 is susceptible to virulent Pst DC3000 but has a functional RPS4 resistance gene effective against DC3000 expressing AvrRps4
Project description:To characterize the PTI response of tomato and the effect of the delivery of a subset of effectors, we performed an RNA-seq analysis of tomato Rio Grande prf3 leaves challenged with either the flgII-28 peptide or the following bacterial strains: Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV2260, Pseudomonas fluorescens 55, Pseudomonas putida KT2440, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000, Pst DC3000 deltahrcQ-U deltafliC and Pst DC3000 deltaavrPto deltaavrPtoB. NOTE: Samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession. This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence âSource Nameâ was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
Project description:The Arabidopsis Pathoarray 464_001 (GPL3638) was used to compare response of Col-0, pad4-1 (Zhou et al., 1998; Jirage et al., 1999) and sid2-2 (Wildermuth et al., 2001) to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 hrcC mutant. SA production is drastically reduced in sid2 mutants. PAD4 is required for SA-mediated responses. The results suggested that the SA increase triggered by MAMPs is one major component in the MAMPs-triggered signaling mechanism.
