Project description:Fusarium graminearum can infect maize stalk causing Gibberella stalk rot. We want to know the whole genome wide gene profiling when infecting maize stalk.
Project description:Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen with a broad host range, causes a devastating disease on soybean called Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), can lead to losses as high as 50-60%. Resistance mechanisms against SSR are poorly understood. We used high throughput RNAseq approach to decipher the molecular mechanisms governing resistance to S. sclerotiorum in soybean. Transcripts of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of soybean; susceptible (S) and resistant (R) were analyzed in a time course experiment. This study might provide an important step towards understanding resistance responses of soybean to S. sclerotiorum and identified novel mechanisms and targets.
Project description:This experiment is to assess the changes of maize genes expression in response to Fusarium graminearum stains wild-type PH-1 and Δcfem1 mutant. F. graminearum is the major casual fungal pathogen of Gibberella stalk rot on maize.
