Project description:Plant immune responses to pathogen attack involve various defense mechanisms and among them, the Hypersensitive Response (HR), a form of programmed cell death occurring at invasion sites. AtMYB30, a transcription factor acts as a positive regulator of a cell death pathway conditioning the HR. We show by microarray analyses of Arabidopsis plants misexpressing AtMYB30 that the genes encoding the four enzymes forming the acyl-coA elongase complex, responsible for very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) biosynthesis, are putative targets. Keywords: Time course after inoculation with a Xanthomonas strain, Xcc147, in Arabidopsis wild-type plants and transgenic plants (AtMYB30 overexpressor (ox) and antisense (as) lines
Project description:ra03-02_potyvirus - potyvirus - Identification of genes involved in plant/virus interactions. - In this experiment, Arabidopsis plants infected by a virus, Tobacco etch virus (TEV), a potyvirus, were compared with healthy plants to identify genes for which the expression is modified by the viral infection. Analysis of both inoculated leaves and upper young leaves were performed 7 days after the inoculation with the virus (or with only buffer for the healthy plants). Keywords: normal vs disease comparison
Project description:SLIM1 has a well established role in regulating transcriptional responses to sulfur deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to investigate the impact of SLIM1 expression under sufficient nutrient conditions, we generated 35S::SLIM1 over-expression lines. SLIM1OX plants were found to have larger rosette area, bolt earlier, and enter developmental senescence earlier than Col-0 and slim1KO (slim1-cr) plants. RNA-seq followed by differential expression analysis was performed on rosette tissue at three timepoints.
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:Using next-generation sequencing, we sequenced transcriptomes of A. thaliana plants infected by the pathogenic and the symbiotic fungus and analyzed plant and fungal gene expression changes between pathogenic and symbiotic interactions. Infected plants were sampled at early infection stages, 12, 24, 48 and 96 HPI (hours post inoculation)
Project description:In order to better understand the transcriptional networks triggered by pathogen inoculation, we monitored gene expression in leaves of mutant Arabidopsis plants, inoculated with Pseudomonas syringae ES4326 and wild type Col-0 plants grown in parallel. Individual leaves were injected in the morning using a needle-less syringe with 10E5 cfu cm-2 PsmES4326 (suspended in 5 mM MgSO4). For the wild type, leaves were also mock treated with 5 mM MgSO4. Leaves were harvested 24 hours later. Plants were grown in pots with BM-2 soil (Berger Peat Moss Ltd, Quebec, Canada) at a density of 9 plants per pot and kept at 22 degrees Celsius with 75% humidity and a 12 hour day length. Keywords: Expression profilling by array
