Project description:Although pear is an important edible fruit species, the current available genomic information is limited. Combining the Solexa/ Illumina RNA-seq high-throughput sequencing approach with Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis results in a powerful transcriptomic study. This publication reports the transcriptome profiling analysis of Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd. using RNA-seq and DGE in order to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying biological aspects of pear, especially fruit development and maturation.Using high-throughput Illumina RNA-seq combined with a tag-based Digital Gene Expression (DGE) system, de novo transcriptome assembly and gene expression analysis of P. bretschneideri were performed at an unprecedented depth (5.47 gigabase pairs). Approximately 60.77 million reads were obtained, trimmed, and assembled into 90,227 unigenes. The unigenes comprised 17,619 contig clusters and 72,608 singletons and were an average length of 508 bp and had an N50 of 635 bp. Sequence similarity analyses against six public databases (Uniprot, NR and COGs at NCBI, Pfam, InterPro and KEGG) found 61,636 unigenes that could be annotated with gene descriptions, conserved protein domains, or gene ontology terms. 34.6% of the unigenes (31,215) were annotated against KEGG into 121 known metabolic or signaling pathways. DGE libraries of five different developmental fruit stages were constructed and analyzed, and the gene expression variations between two consecutive stages were compared. Thousands of genes showed significantly different expression levels based on the various comparisons. Extensive transcriptome and DGE profiling data have been obtained from the deep sequencing of the Chinese white pear, which can serve as an important public information platform for gene expression, genomic, and functional genomic studies in P. bretschneideri and which provides comprehensive gene expression information at the transcriptional level that could facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanisms in fruit development and maturation.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of pear tree comparing a resistant/tolerant cultivar with a susceptible cultivar to the Stemphylium vesicarium fungus Rocha' pear is an economically important portuguese Pyrus communis L. cultivar very susceptible to the Stemphylium vesicarium pathogenic fungus, the brown spot agent, causing huge decrease on fruit quality and yield production. Field control of brown spot disease is based in systemic application of antifungal chemicals with high economic costs and dramatic consequences to public health and environmental pollution. Plant-pathogen interactions involve a series of events encompassing constitutive and induced plant defence responses whose dissection has been a research target for control many crop diseases. The biosynthesis of cell wall polymers and antifungal compounds appear to be an efficient physical and chemical barrier to infection.To understand the molecular responses behind defence mechanisms of resistant/tolerant and susceptible cultivars of Pyrus communis L. to the S. vesicarium fungus, cDNA microarray technology was used to identify the genes differentially expressed along a time course leaf inoculation between 'Rocha' pear cultivar (a high susceptible cultivar) and 'Ercolini' pear cultivar (a resistant/tolerant pear cultivar). This study aims to contribute with information on the molecular mechanisms involved in host-pathogen interactions responsible for pear tree brown spot disease and resistance to Stemphylium vesicarium. Experimental condition: 'Ercolini' vs 'Rocha' (each experiment including 5 plants from each cultivar). 3 time-points: water-inoculation (T0h), 6 hours after inoculation with S. vesicarium (T6h) and 24 hours after inoculation with S. vesicarium. Biological replicates: 3 in each time-point. One replicate per array.
