Project description:Xylem sap of young cabbage plantlets was recovered from root pressure exudation and used as a growth medium for the vascular pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris, the causative agent of the black rot of Brassicaceae.
Project description:The draft genome of L. sativa (lettuce) cv. Tizian was sequenced in two Illumina sequencing runs, mate pair and shotgun. This entry contains the RAW sequencing data.
Project description:Summary: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain 14028s transcriptome response to lettuce medium (LM) and lettuce root exudates (LX) to minimal medium (MM). Purpose: Salmonella mRNA profile, when grown in different media was compared to minimal medium to reveal environment specific transcriptional changes. Methods: mRNA profiles were generated using Illumina HiSeq in triplicates. The sequences were analysed using Bowtie2 followed by Cufflinks.
Project description:Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple foods in the world, feeding more than 50% of the human population. One of its most damaging pathogens, with major impact on rice yield, is the migratory root rot nematode Hirschmanniella oryzae. In comparison with the existing knowledge on the infection process of dicots by sedentary nematodes, far less is known about the interaction between monocot plants and nematodes or plant interactions with migratory nematode species. Therefore, to gain deeper insight into the systemic transcriptional changes in rice after migratory root rot nematode infection we have performed mRNA-Seq on the shoots of root rot nematode infected rice plants. The observations were independently validated using qRT-PCR and biochemical analyses. This research reveals significant modifications in the metabolism of the plant, with a general suppression of chlorophyll biosynthesis, and primary metabolic processes involved in plant growth . Differential expression analysis between controls rice shoots and shoots from root rot nematode (H. oryzae) infected rice at two time points.
Project description:This study utilized the HIT-ISOseq method for high-throughput sequencing of RNA isoforms across multiple lettuce samples, generating millions of long reads per PacBio Sequel II SMRT Cell. Analysis of six tissue types revealed tissue-specific gene expression and RNA isoforms, facilitating updates to the lettuce reference genome annotation with expanded functional annotations.
