Project description:In this study, we explored the genes involved with the host communication and colonization process through transcriptomic profiling of Trichoderma virens as it colonizes hydroponic maize roots, compared to the fungus without roots present.
Project description:A Trichoderma microarrays composed of 385,000 probes, designed against the genomes of Trichoderma reesei (= Hypocrea jecorina), ID: 431241 (9,129 genes) + Trichoderma virens (= Hypocrea virens), ID: 413071 (11,643 genes) + Trichoderma atroviride (= Hypocrea atroviridis) ID: 197014A (11,643 genes), was constructed (Roche-NimbleGen, Inc., Madison, WI, USA). Probes contained entere transcript sequence. This microarray was used to analyze the transcriptomic changes of T. atroviride IMI 352941 (T11) in three conditions: T11 growing alone, T11 growing at ca 5 mm of V. dahliae V-138I and T11 overgrowing V-138I.
