Project description:Purpose:to identify the response of Frankia sp.strain CcI6 to salt and osmotic stress. Frankia sp.strain CcI6 was exposed to salt and osmotic stress for seven days. RNAseq analysis was carried out to ge an insight into the response of the bacterium under salt and osmotic stress conditons
Project description:Comparative transcriptome profiles of cotton (G. hirsutum L. cv. Bikaneri narma) during boll development stages (0, 2, 5 and 10 dpa) under bollworm infested biotic stress. Cotton is one of the most commercially important fibre crops in the world and used as a source for natural textile fibre and cottonseed oil. The biotic stress is one of the major constraints for crop production. Cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) is one the major insect pest in cotton and drastically damages the cotton boll. To decipher the molecular mechanisms involved in cotton boll/fibre cell development, transcriptome analysis has been carried out by comparing G. hirsutum L cv. Bikaneri narma cotton boll samples induced by biotic stress (bollworm infested) and that their respective control cotton bolls collected under field conditions. Cotton bolls were collected at fibre initiation (0, 2 dpa/days post anthesis) and elongation (5, 10 dpa) stages for both control and biotic stress condition and gene expression profiles were analyzed by Affymetrix cotton GeneChip Genome array.

Project description:biotic stress and hormone treatment transcriptome data
Project description:Studies investigating crop resistance to biotic and abiotic stress have largely focused on plant responses to singular forms of stress and individual biochemical pathways that only partially represent stress responses. Thus, combined biotic and abiotic stress treatments and the global assessment of their elicited metabolic expression remains largely unexplored. In this study, we employed targeted and untargeted metabolomics to investigate the metabolic responses of maize (Zea mays) to both individual and combinatorial stress treatments using heat (abiotic) and Cochliobolus heterostrophus infection (biotic) experiments. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry revealed significant metabolic responses to C. heterostrophus infection and heat stress, and comparative analyses between these individual forms of stress demonstrated differential elicitation between the two global metabolomes. In combinatorial experiments, treatment with heat stress prior to fungal inoculation negatively impacted maize disease resistance against C. heterostrophus, and distinct metabolome separation between combinatorial stressed plants and the non-heat stressed infected controls was observed. Targeted analysis revealed inducible primary and secondary metabolite responses to biotic/abiotic stress, and combinatorial experiments indicated that deficiency in the hydroxycinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid, may lead to the heat-induced susceptibility of maize to C. heterostrophus. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that abiotic stress can predispose crops to more severe disease symptoms, underlining the increasing need to investigate defense chemistry in plants under combinatorial stress.
