Project description:To investigate NUP62 in the regulation of plant defense against Botrytis cinerea , we performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of nup62 mutant and WT arabidopsis with or without Botrytis cinerea infection.
Project description:In this work, we have used deep sequencing to study the viral small RNA (vsiRNA) populations from different mycoviruses infecting field isolates of Botrytis spp. The mycoviruses under study belong to different genera and species and have different type of genome (dsRNA, (+)ssRNA, and (-)ssRNA). In general, vsiRNAs derived from mycoviruses are mostly of 21, 20 and 22 nucleotides in length, possess sense or antisense orientation either in a similar ratio or with a predominance of sense polarity depending on the virus species, have predominantly U at their 5' end, and are unevenly distributed along the viral genome showing conspicuous hotspots of vsiRNA accumulation. These characteristics reveal striking concomitances with vsiRNAs produced by plant viruses suggesting similar pathways of viral targeting in plants and fungi

Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana mutant wrky33 is highly susceptible to the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. We identified by ChIP-seq >1680 high-confidence WRKY33 binding sites associated with 1576 genes within the Arabidopsis genome, with all of them being dependent on rapid activation of WRKY33 expression by Botrytis cinerea strain 2100. Genome-wide transcriptional analysis defined 318 genes as direct functional targets at 14 h post inoculation. Comparison between resistant wild-type Columbia-0 and susceptible wrky33 mutant plants revealed that expression of 75% of all WRKY33 regulated targets were down-regulated upon infection, indicating that WRKY33 predominately acts as a repressor. However, WRKY33 appears to possess dual functionality acting either as a repressor or as an activator in a promoter-context dependent manner. Our genome-wide analysis confirmed known WRKY33 targets involved in ethylene and jasmonic acid hormone signaling and phytoalexin biosynthesis, but also uncovered a previously unknown role of abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis in the complex regulatory circuitry affecting resistance towards Botrytis. Analysis of transgenic plants expressing WRKY33-HA under its native promoter post inoculation with spores of Botrytis cinerea 2100
Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana mutant wrky33 is highly susceptible to the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Comparing the expression profiles of B. cinerea-infected wrky33 and WT plants we identified 2765 differentially expressed genes dependent on WRKY33, of which 1675 were up-regulated in the mutant (termed WRKY33-repressed genes) and 1090 were down-regulated in the mutant. Combined with ChIP-seq data 318 genes were identified as direct functional targets of WRKY33 at 14 h post inoculation with spores of Botrytis cinerea 2100. Comparison of altered gene expression in Arabidopsis WT and wrky33 mutant plants 14 hours post inoculation with Botrytis cinerea 2100.
Project description:Next generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to identify genes changed in ginseng upon Botrytis cinerea △BcSpd1 treatment. The goal of the work is to find interesting genes involved in ginseng in response to fungi induction. The object is to reveal the molecular mechanism of ginseng defense induced by Botrytis cinerea △BcSpd1 .
Project description:Full transcriptomes of the Botrytis cinerea wild-type strain B0510 and the null-mutants deltaBcVEL1 and deltaBcLAE1, cultured onto solid grape juice medium with cellophane overlays , were compared to identify BcVEL1 or/and BcLAE1-dependent genes. The Botrytis cinerea wild-type strain and the null-mutants deltaBcVEL1 and BcLAE1 were cultured for 48h onto solid grape juice medium with cellophane overlays. 4 replicates were performed. The 12 total-RNA samples (3 strains* 4 replicates) were used for hybridization on NimbleGen 4plex gene expression arrays (20,885 gene models from Botrytis cinerea with three 60-mer probes per gene).
Project description:Full transcriptomes of the Botrytis cinerea wild-type strain B0510 inoculated on mature grapevine berries (Marselan cultivar) at 16h, 24h, 48h, and in vitro were compared to identify B. cinerea genes diffentially expressed during the infection stages. Grapevine berries were inoculated with Botrytis cinerea conidia and samples were taken at 16h, 24h and 48 hours post-inoculation. An additional control sample corresponding to mycelium growing on static liquid minimal medium was included in the experimental design in order to identify genes that would be differentially expressed between in vitro and in planta growth conditions. 3-4 replicates were performed. The 13 total-RNA samples were used for hybridization on NimbleGen 4plex gene expression arrays (20,885 gene models from Botrytis cinerea with three 60-mer probes per gene).
