Project description:Six different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tubersosum), Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthiamana were grown at 25C, 16h light and 8h darkness. Mature leaves were harvested after 4-6 weeks. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Tomato, pepper, petunia, tobacco and N. benthamiana samples were hybridized against potato samples.

Project description:Seven different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tubersosum), Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), Eggplant (Solanum melangena), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthiamana were subjected to salt stress. The stress applied was 150mM NaCl and control plants were watered without the additional salt. Samples were collected at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 hours after the first application of the salt. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Keywords: Direct comparison
Project description:Seven different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tubersosum), Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), Eggplant (Solanum melongena), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthiamana were subjected to drought stress. Drought stress was applied by stopping watering of the plants, control plants were normally watered with nutrient solution. Samples were collected at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after the first application of the drought stress. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Keywords: Direct comparison
Project description:Seven different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tuberosum), Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), Eggplant (Solanum melongena), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthamiana were subjected to heat stress. Plants were grown for 4-6 weeks at 25 C after which heat stress was initiated by exposing the plants to 35 C for 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 hours. Control samples were isolated from plants just before initiating the heat stress. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Keywords: Direct comparison
Project description:The late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans has a broad host range within the Solanaceae family, including yellow potato (Solanum phureja). The disease caused by P. infestans in S. phureja is poorly understood and is a major concern in Colombia. Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) libraries obtained from a normalized library constructed from healthy plant tissue revealed high levels of sequence similarity between S. phureja and S. tuberosum. Then, utilizing Serial Analysis of Gene Expression and high-throughput sequencing (SAGE-Solexa), we characterized yellow potato gene expression during infection by P. infestans. Four-week-old yellow potato plants were inoculated with P. infestans and were collected at 12 and 72 hours post inoculation for RNA extraction. We detected differentially expressed genes by comparing inoculated to non-inoculated and resistant to susceptible plants. The discovery and characterization of the proteins mediating this host–pathogen interaction enable the understanding of the pathosystem and is the key for developing resistant plants.

Keywords: SAGE-Solexa, inoculation response, transcript profiling, Solanum phureja, Phytophthora infestans Four-week-old yellow potato (Solanum phureja) plants were inoculated with Phytophthora infestans and were collected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen at 12 and 72 hours post inoculation, as well as mock inoculated, for RNA extraction. 2 yellow potato cultivars (resistant and susceptible) were used for each experiment. Mock inoculated plants were collected in each replicate. RNA obtained from each of the three biological replicates was pooled to obtain a single RNA sample for each timepoint X cultivar combination. A total of 6 different SAGE libraries were thus obtained. For all libraries, Illumina sequencing was performed at Canada´s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre.
Project description:Seven different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tubersosum), Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), Eggplant (Solanum melangena), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthamiana were subjected to cold stress. Plants were grown at 25 C for 4-6 weeks after wich cold stress was initiated by exposing the plants to 4 C for 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours. Control samples were isolated from plants just before the cold stress was initated. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Keywords: Direct comparison
