Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae 9644 (Pss9644) is a causal agent of bacterial cherry canker causing necrotic symptoms on leaves, fruits, gummosis and canker in woody tissues of sweet cherry (Prunus avium). To understand which virulent factor genes were expressed in vitro, Pss9644 was grown in rich media (King's B Broth) and minimum media (hrp-inducing minimum media). The latter mimics the in planta environment.
Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 6 (Psa6) is a causal agent of kiwifruit bacterial canker and is a unique plant pathogenic bacterium, producing two types of phytotoxins, coronatine and phaseolotoxin. We investigated the expression behavior of virulent genes of Psa6 under various culture conditions.
Project description:Transcription profiling of Nicotinan benthamiana in response to Pectobacterium carotovorum WPP14 and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000
Project description:Compare expression profiles between Col-0 and transgenic lines overexpressing AtFAAH(At5g64440) after inoculated with nonhost pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae at 0, 6 and 12 hours.
Project description:Purpose: The outcome of host–pathogen interactions is thought to reflect the offensive and defensive capabilities of both players. When plants interact with Pseudomonas syringae, several well-characterized virulence factors contribute to early bacterial pathogenicity, including the type III secretion system (T3SS), which must be activated by signals from the plant and environment to allow the secretion of virulence effectors. The manner in which these signals regulate T3SS activity is still unclear. Conlusion: the analysis revealed that the perception of plant signals from kiwifruit or tomato extracts anticipates T3SS expression in P. syringae pv. actinidiae compared to apoplast-like conditions
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:To explore the effect of light perception on Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 at a global level, we carried out microarray hybridization experiments. We hybridize custom-designed microarrays (Agilent Technologies) with probes isolated from PsPto after a 10 min treatment with either 20 μE/m2s blue light, 20 μE/m2s red light, 70 μE/m2s white light, or cells kept in the darkness.
Project description:Purpose: Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is a phytopathogen that causes devastating bacterial canker in kiwifruit. Among five biovars defined by genetic, biochemical and virulence traits, Psa3 is the most aggressive and is responsible for the most recent reported outbreaks, but the molecular basis of its heightened virulence is unclear. A custom P. syringae multi-strain whole-genome microarray platform, encompassing biovars Psa1, Psa2 and Psa3 and the well-established model P. syringae pv. tomato, was used to analyse early bacterial responses to an apoplast-like minimal medium. Conlusion: this work highlighted that diverse early responses to the host apoplast, even among bacteria belonging to the same pathovar, can lead to different virulence strategies and may explain the differing outcomes of infections.
Project description:A ChIP-seq assay was performed to identify the regulons of an ompR-like transcription factor (gene name: 13375, GenBank: AYL80818.1) in Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae. An 13375-overexpressing mutant G1-OE13375, which constitutively express C-terminally Myc-tagged ompR-like gene in the 13375-deletion mutant G1Δ13375, was used in this study. The bacterial cells were cultured either in nutrition-rich KB medium or hrp-derepressing medium (HDM) at 25 C for 24 hours. A PierceTM Magnetic ChIP Kit (Cat. #: 26157, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and a ChIP-grade Myc-Tag Monoclonal Antibody (Myc.A7, Cat. #: MA121316, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used for sample pretreatment and immunoprecipitation.
