Project description:By sequencing small RNAs from uninfected Arabidopsis roots and from galls seven and 14 days post infection with Meloidogyne incognita, we sequenced by SOLiD technology the RNA fraction below 50nt. We identified 24 miRNAs differentially expressed in gall as putative regulators of gall development.
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare the methylation state of galls formed in Arabidopsis roots infected by Meloidogyne javanica at 14 days post infection compared to uninfected root segments (RC).
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare the methylation state of galls formed in Arabidopsis roots infected by Meloidogyne javanica at 3 days post infection compared to uninfected root segments (RC).
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptome profilling (RNA-seq) of galls (G) formed in Arabidopsis roots infected by Meloidogyne javanica at 3 days post infection compared to uninfected root segments (RC).
Project description:Plants have developed a complicated resistance system, and they exhibit various defense patterns in response to different attackers. However, the determine factors of plant defense patterns are still not clear. Here, we hypothesized that damage patterns of plant attackers play an important role in determining the plant defense patterns. To test this hypothesis, we selected leafminer, which has a special feeding pattern more similar to pathogen damage than chewing insects, as our model insect, and Arabidopsis thaliana as the response plants. The local and systemic responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to leafminer feeding were investigated using the Affymetrix ATH1 genome array.
