Project description:HLB is suggested to be caused by the phloem-limited fastidious prokaryotic α-proteobacterium “Candidatus Liberibacter spp.” Previous studies focused on the proteome and transcriptome analyses of citrus 5 to 35-week-after “Ca. L. spp.” inoculation. In this study, gene expression profiles was analyzed using mandarin of Citrus reticulate Blanco cv. jiaogan leaves after 2-year infection with “Ca. L. asiaticus”. The Affymetrix GeneChip® citrus genome were applied to study the molecular pathways mediated by “Ca. L. asiaticus” inoculated 3-year-old jiaogan seedlings. Each of them was graft-inoculated with one sweet orange scions with or without “Ca. L. asiaticus” in Dectember, 2009. RNA samples from three mandarin trees infected with 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' and three uninfected trees were used for affymatrix genochip
Project description:The green rice leafhopper Nephotettix cincticeps have two mutualistic symbiotic bacteria (Candidatus Sulcia muelleri and Candidatus Nasuia deltocephalinicola) in its symbiont special organ bacteriome and are also infected to rickettsia. In order to determine immune challenge is induced or not in N. cincticeps, we investigated gene expression of Escherichia coli challenged N. cincticeps.
Project description:This study evaluated the transcriptional reprogramming of a susceptible genotype (Pera sweet orange) challenged with the pathogenic bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter americanus (CaLam), using a customized 385K microarray containing about 32,000 unigene transcripts. For the microarray experiment were used symptomatic leaves from two Pera sweet orange plants inoculated with either bark or bud pieces infected with Candidatus Liberibacter americanus and two non-infected control plants.

In order to determine immune challenge is induced or not by rickettsia infection in N. cincticeps, we investigated gene expression between rickettsia-infected and rifampicin treated uninfected N. cincticeps colonies.
Project description:In this study we compare the transcriptome response of two potato varieties Atlantic and NY138 to the infection by Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum. Four weeks old potato plant grown in growth chamber were infested with potato psyllid to transmit the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum. Three weeks after infestation leaf samples were collected for RNA extraction and transcriptome analysis. This is the first transcriptome study on this potato disease.
Project description:We seqeunced mRNA from the bacterial pathogen 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum" during its association with the psyllid vector Bactericera cockerelli.
