Project description:This experiment analyzes the changes in expression of twelve days old Arabidopsis roots after 10 hours of beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii treatment
Project description:The cereal cyst nematode (CCN, Heterodera avenae) is a major pest of wheat (Triticum spp) that reduces crop yields in many countries. Cyst nematodes are obligate sedentary endoparasites that reproduce by amphimixis. Here, we report the first transcriptome analysis of two parasitic stages of H. avenae.
Project description:We compared the gene expression of wild-type Col-0, tcp9, tcp20, and the double mutant tcp9tcp20. We either infected or mock-infected the plants with the beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and measured the root transcriptome after 24, 48, and 72 hours post infection using RNA-seq. The aim of the experiment was to determine whether the tcp mutatants affected gene expression patterns induced by nematode infection.
Project description:Cereal cyst nematode (Heterodera avenae) can be attracted by wheat roots before infestation, while largely is unknown underlying this phenomenon. Here, we examined the transcriptional responses of both wheat roots and nematodes during the attraction stage by mRNA sequencing analysis (with and without reference genome, respectively). We found that consistent with their respective mobility, the immobile host wheat root only had 93 DEGs (27 up-regulated and 66 down-regulated), while the mobile plant parasitic nematode H. avenae reacted much more actively with 879 DEGs (867 up-regulated and 12 down-regulated). Among the DEGs, a number of wheat DEGs (most down-regulated) were involved in biotic stress pathways, while several putative effector genes (up-regulated) were found in the nematode DEGs. Results of the experiments demonstrated that nematode responds more actively than wheat during the attraction stage of parasitism, and the parasite responses mainly involved up-regulation whereas the host responses mainly involved down-regulation.
Project description:Expression profiling of 7,530 Heterodera glycines probesets present on the Affymetrix Soybean Genome Array GeneChip throughout the life cycle of the nematode (egg, infective J2, parasitic J2, J3, J4, adult female).
Project description:Parallel genome-wide expression profile of soybean and soybean cyst nematode at three points during infection 2, 5, 10 days post-inoculation.
Project description:Arabidopsis Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips were used to compare the mRNA profiles of root tissues of the transgenic plants overexpressing 4D09 effector gene from the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and the wild-type (C24). Also, Arabidopsis Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips were used to compare the mRNA profiles of root tissues of the transgenic plants overexpressing 14-3-3Ɛ gene from Arabidopsis and the wild-type (Col-0). Wild-type (Arabidopsis thaliana, ecotypes C24 and Col-0 ), and the transgenic plants overexpressing 4D09 effector gene or overexpressing 14-3-3Ɛ gene from Arabidopsis were grown in vertical culture dishes on modified Knop’s medium for 2 weeks and then root tissues were collected for RNA extraction. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Tarek Hewezi.
